Assemblyman Aron Wieder officially kicked off his 2026 reelection campaign Thursday night at a fundraiser hosted by Rockland County businessman and community activist Meyer Tauber. The event drew a wide range of community leaders, activists, and supporters, marking the formal start of Wieder’s bid for another term in the State Assembly.
In his remarks, Wieder stressed the importance of maintaining strong representation within the Assembly majority, explaining how that position allows him to shape state policy, push forward legislation, and secure results for his constituents. He highlighted how one of his most significant first-year accomplishments—passing bill A.6314-A, which mandates insurance coverage for backup cochlear implant processors—stemmed directly from a constituent who reached out on behalf of her daughter. Wieder explained that while this was not a local home rule issue, he took the fight to Albany, pushing back against insurance companies and rallying support in the State Assembly to ensure families facing similar challenges would never be left without coverage.

Looking ahead, Wieder outlined his vision for the future, promising to continue strengthening services and opportunities for families across his district. Several attendees also raised concerns about local county, town, and village issues. While Wieder acknowledged that such matters often fall outside the jurisdiction of the State Assembly, he assured residents that his office would explore ways to assist, emphasizing his commitment to being a resource for the community even on issues beyond state-level responsibility.
Host Meyer Tauber praised Wieder’s accessibility and dedication, noting that constituents who reached out to his office received assistance regardless of whether their concerns fell under his official jurisdiction. “Assemblyman Wieder has helped every single person who called in with a need—whether in his district or not,” Tauber said. “I know this personally, and I can tell you that his office is always there for the people of Rockland County.”
