This morning I attended the New York City Council’s Executive Budget Hearing for the New York City Police Department to listen to yet another onslaught of hatred from my progressive colleagues in Council. Once again the NYPD top brass came totally prepared for what is asked of…

CM Lincoln Restler bringing up response times numbers is something we agree with.

It sounds like he agrees with us: bring on more cops and get rid of unnecessary paperwork like Level 1 and 2 stops.

Welcome to our side, CM!

I conducted a walkthrough of businesses on Bell Blvd with the Bayside Village BID Bayside BID and the NYC Department of Small Business Services. We visited countless businesses along the boulevard to inform them of the services offered through SBS and to engage with business owners on what I can do as an elected…

Principal Avila has a wonderful school community and I couldn’t be more proud of the work she’s doing. I was…

Our Veteran Resource Center dates are CHANGING! For the next two weeks, Tanya Thomas, will be with us on Friday instead of Wednesday. Stop by from 10 am to 4 pm this Friday, May 10th to meet with Tanya. We hope to see you there!

I had the opportunity to sit down with a group of city retirees in my district and speak about the frankly predatory attack on their benefits.

Even today the city is STILL fighting to force city retirees into a health plan that was not promised to them. I have stood with the…

Happy T-Shirt Tuesday!

This Tuesday we’re celebrating Teachers for Choice in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. I have stood with the teachers whose jobs were stolen from them since 2020 and I won’t stop until every job is restored and every teacher is rewarded the pay they lost.…

This morning I visited the waterfront at 20th Avenue and 119th Street in College Point with Kat Cervino of the Coastal Preservation Network, to discuss the possibility of putting in a bench to create a space to admire the city’s skyline.

It’s great to have community partners…

I had the opportunity to speak with Len Berman and Michael Riedel on 710 WOR this morning about the protests at Columbia University and whether New York’s taxpayers should have to pay for the use of NYPD resources to qualm them. These protests were given free reign under Columbia…

Yesterday the Committee on Governmental Operations, State & Federal Legislation held a hearing on the infamous form that Mayor Adams is requesting elected officials fill out to request meetings with Commissioners.

While our city is literally burning, the City Council finds time…

NY's finest showed why they're the best on the planet, swiftly restoring order to our campuses with zero incidents!

But let's be clear: taxpayers shouldn't pay for universities failing to protect students.

We thank the NYPD NEWS!

It is utterly ridiculous to expect New York’s tax payers to foot the cost of the NYPD overtime and resources spent clearing out spoiled protesters on college campuses. The universities in question cultivated this culture and, in some ways, even encouraged it. They alone are…

Thank you to the 109th Precinct for addressing this issue. My office has been working to address complaints from the community and legitimate businesses. There are other offenders on College Point Boulevard and I am grateful that illegal vending is being dealt with.

If nobody…
