Manhattan Assemblymember Deborah Glick, who became the first out member of the New York State Legislature when she was elected in 1990, announced she will not seek re-election in 2026, capping a robust political career spanning more than three decades of work in Albany.

“The end of my term will be next year, and if I ran for re-election, I would have to commit to three years, not just one year, and I had to think about whether I could continue to do this at the same level that I believe my constituents deserve,” Glick said in an interview with Gay City News on Oct. 27. “And the answer I had to give myself was, I really couldn’t. It’s very demanding. I’ve done it for 35 years and I didn’t think I could do it for 38.”
