Michael Novakhov, a Republican assemblyman representing a Brooklyn district in the New York State Assembly, has recently addressed community concerns and political issues through several public posts on social media.
On February 14, 2026, Novakhov posted about his personal initiative to improve local infrastructure: “I purchased 300 small solar lights to help brighten the bridge at night while NYC DOT works on both a temporary and permanent fix to the pole lighting. Appreciate DOT’s efforts — and please don’t steal or damage the lights. They’re there for the community.” He expressed appreciation for the Department of Transportation’s ongoing work and urged residents not to tamper with the new lighting.
Later that day, Novakhov shared his views on state fiscal policy: “In my latest op-ed for @TJVNEWS, I lay out why Republican leadership is the only real check against Albany’s next Democrat tax hike.” This statement reflects his party affiliation and stance on tax policy in New York State.
On February 16, 2026, Novakhov posted a third message containing only a link: “https://t.co/ab6iTI0ZhB”. The content of this link was not specified in the post.
Novakhov immigrated from the former USSR with his family and later established himself in Brooklyn, where he now serves as an assemblyman (official website). He won election to the New York State Assembly in 2022 and is associated with the Republican Party. Before entering politics, Novakhov spent two decades in radio and co-founded Freedom FM in 2019. His legislative priorities include addressing rising crime affecting specific communities, enhancing affordability in health care and housing, and maintaining quality of life for residents (official website).
