Thank you Senator Jeremy Cooney and New York State Senate for holding a moment of silence Tuesday for our fallen colleague, friend and brother Vinny Giammarva. Vinny, a dedicated employee with almost 20 years of service at the Thruway Authority, exemplifies the true essence of our entire staff.

Honored to help welcome the Rochester Prince Hall Masons and Easter Stars to the Senate as we announced the inaugural 'Prince Hall Day of Advocacy at the Capitol'!

Thankful for their commitment to social and economic justice reform throughout New York.

As states across the country restrict access to abortions, it's time for NY to serve as a safe haven for reproductive healthcare. Today Assm. Monica Wallace and I called for the passage of our bill alongside PPESA to support our healthcare heroes and protect the right to choose.

Always a pleasure to get a visit in Albany from NYSUT! Grateful to see some #ROC leadership in attendance on behalf of all of the school employees who work to make our schools better places for our students.

Thrilled to discuss my new role as Chairman of the New York State Senate Transportation Committee with David Lombardo on WCNY's The Capitol Pressroom. Lots of opportunities ahead to meet our state's transportation needs! 🚗 🚎 🚆

Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day!

During #AAPIHeritageMonth , I was proud to help open the new Bhutanese Community Hall in West Henrietta, NY. Such wonderful diversity in our upstate towns. 🎉

So glad to join Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester this morning for their annual Pink & Teal challenge! Together, standing with survivors and our beloved departed from breast and gynecological cancers. 💪🏾🎀

Today I announced my priorities moving forward as Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. From equity and economic development to street safety and connecting our communities, I'm committed to innovative and bold solutions to meet New York's transportation needs.

Saddened to learn the news of the New York State Thruway Authority employee who lost their life today in a work zone on I-90 in Monroe County. A public servant will not be coming home to their family tonight. Please, if you see a work zone, #SlowDown and be alert. More on this soon.
