I know firsthand that access to higher education can transform lives — and we're working to make it easier for everyone to get a world-class education in the Empire State.

With leaders in Chancellor John B. King, we are making @SUNY the best public university system in the country.

It’s up to today’s leaders to build the cities of the future.

By building more housing, improving mass transit systems, and ensuring our communities are resilient to the impacts of climate change, we are making our cities safer and more affordable.

More than a century ago, my grandparents left County Kerry with nothing but lint in their pockets and fire in their bellies.

As a proud daughter of Kerry, it was the honor of a lifetime to return as governor of the State of New York.

Visited the Oireachtas this morning to meet with Cathaoirleach, Senator Senator Jerry Buttimer & Senator Mark Daly.

Leinster House inspired the design of the White House, but it's much more than a beautiful building — it's a representation of the bond the United States & Ireland share.

My parents were social justice Catholics who taught me about the responsibility we have to help others.

Those lessons guide me as we lift up communities hit hard-hit by climate change today, and as we fight the environmental challenges of the future.
