Since taking office in 2018, Mayer has been a staunch advocate for the reduction of carbon emissions in New York State, and has helped to secure funding for environmental initiatives such as clean water protection. As the Chair of the Senate Education Committee, she has worked to secure a commitment to achieve a fully zero-emission statewide school bus fleet, decrease the amount of lead in school drinking water, and prohibit the construction of new schools near major roadways.
