Mike Avella Jr. remembers petitioning alongside his father – the state government veteran Michael Avella – when he was only 10 years old. The father and son duo still work together, now at Dickinson & Avella, a strategic governmental relations firm focusing on the state Capitol. As a government affairs associate, Avella Jr. represents the interests of a multitude of clients ranging from large corporations to advocacy coalitions.
“We represent so many different people,” the younger Avella says. “I don t think there s a sector that we don t touch. One minute I could be working on technology, the next one on voting rights, then criminal justice reform, and then helping out the Mets safely reopen.”

ALBANY – Unionized nurses at Albany Medical Center have overwhelmingly ratified a contract proposal reached after three years of often-contentious negotiations.
Members of the New York State Nurses Association voted on the proposal Wednesday and Thursday. The union and Albany Med reported late Thursday that they’d accepted the proposal, which will provide pay increases and lay out work rules for the nurses.
NYSNA said its members voted 97% in favor.
It is the first NYSNA contract at Albany Med the union and hospital have been wrangling over its terms ever since the nurses voted by a roughly 2-1 ratio to unionize in April 2018.
