Who are the five most powerful people in Planet Albany?

That's the question for this episode, as host David Lombardo, Bloomberg Government Capitol reporter Raga Justin and Assemblymember Josh Jensen, a Rochester-area Republican, share their personal lists.

The only rules are they can't include Gov. Kathy Hochul, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. Also, we don't define what constitutes power or "Planet Albany."

After you hear the episode, make sure you vote on who had the best list and let us know (anonymously) about your power rankings.
