Shawn M. Morse, a Cohoes Democrat and Chairman of the Albany County
Legislature, has announced his candidacy to challenge incumbent State
Senator Neil Breslin for the new 44th Senate District Seat which covers
portions of Albany and Rensselaer Counties. Morse has been a Cohoes
firefighter for that past 23 years and has received the medal for
bravery for rescuing a woman trapped in a burning building.
Shawn M. Morse is serving his third term in the Albany County Legislature
as the representative of residents in the 17th Legislative District.
The 17th district encompasses the down town area and eastern portion of
the
City of Cohoes.
Chairman Morse has been a tireless advocate for children and seniors during the past 8 years, sponsoring legislation protecting kids from sexual predators and fighting to keep the Albany County Nursing Home open for business. Morse has also been a strong advocate for the property tax payer, as he has been a tireless advocate for mandate relief from the state legislature. He has also enacted legislation.
He has authored a missing children's law, requiring missing children in
Albany County be reported to Law Enforcement. Shawn also sponsored the
Canadian prescription drug plan and prescription drug card plan saving
the County 2 million dollars a year. Shawn has also co-authored the
County's residency restrictions for sexual predators convicted of crimes
against minors, prohibiting them from living within 1,000 feet of
schools and childcare facilities, and worked for the enactment of
legislation giving judges the option of ordering sex offenders to wear
GPS electronic tracking devices as part of their probation. Shawn
strongly opposed the State Berger Commission recommendations reducing
the County's nursing home capacity from 450-250 beds, and personally
interceded on behalf of families seeking the return of their loved ones
sent to skilled nursing facilities out of state.
Morse remains active in his community lending his time to the Cohoes Girls Softball League, the Cohoes Community Center, the Cohoes Little League and other civic groups throughout the area.
He is the father of three children, Adrianna, Christopher and Madison and husband to Brenda Morse.
