While serving as a New York State Assemblyman, he has cosponsored laws on Early Voting and No Excuse Absentee Voting as well as co-sponsoring the Child Victims Act which broadened the window for people to report Child Sexual Abuse. Assemblyman Burke was one of the outspoken elected officials that called on Bishop Richard Malone to resign his position as the Bishop of Buffalo.
