Proud to have helped bring Mobile Museums of Tolerance to P.S 144! Students learned important lessons about the Civil Rights Movement, which are especially pertinent today. Equality, respect, & dignity for all people is what we teach our children and the bare minimum that everyone deserves

A huge thank you to the bipartisan coalition that showed up for child care at yesterday’s press conference. We cannot allow our budget to pass without a $1billion to invest in the work force and prevent tens of thousands of kids from losing their child care

Extremely proud to announce that A.744 passed the Assembly this week. This will define "hidden foster care," ensure family rights are protected and that kids receive the support they need. Thank you to my colleagues for their unanimous support.

Great morning for a flower-planting and cleanup at the Glendale Vietnam Veterans Memorial Garden! Thank you Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 32, Shops at Atlas Park, SenatorJoeAddabbo, our Scout Troops, NYC Parks and Dorie Figliola for partnering and co-organizing.

Thanks Forest Hills Green Team, Aigner Chocolates, all of our partners and the volunteers who showed up this beautiful Sunday for our May #MetroAve cleanup. Another great day of community action!

Heartbroken for Yaron Lischinsky, Sarah Lynn Milgrim, and their loved ones. This is a stark reminder that antisemitism is alive, real, and has fatal consequences when left to fester. My thoughts are with the Jewish community in DC, NY and across the globe. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…

Great joining David Lombardo to discuss end-of-session priorities, including A65 and A66 — to create a statewide supervised visitation program, and eliminate harassment via anonymous calls to the Statewide Central Register. Proud that both passed the Assembly. capitolpressroom.org/2025/06/13/end…

Proud to partner with Assemblymember Grace Lee 李榮恩, Maritza Davila, and 50 of our Assembly colleagues to push back against the devastating federal SNAP cuts advanced in House Resolution 1 — and proud to be part of a House that is invested in standing up for New Yorkers when it counts. 1/2

"We want the $50 million to go to counties immediately. The regulations that have been attached to it are more strict than they should be." nysfocus.com/2025/08/08/chi…

Passing tariff expenses onto New Yorkers at the rate of $4,200 per household is not economic development, and it shows where the President’s priorities lie. fingerlakes1.com/2025/08/08/hoc…

"Assemblymember Andrew Hevesi...said he initially had concerns...but he and his fellow sponsor, Sen. Jabari Brisport...crafted the amendment that requires a [caller] to be transferred to a supervisor if they refuse to attach a name to their complaint." gothamist.com/news/should-ny…

Yesterday's #RegoPark small business walkthrough with Catalina Cruz, Esq. and Queens Chamber of Commerce! Huge thanks to each for letting my team join, speak to local businesses and make sure they're connected to available resources — and shoutout to AM Cruz's team for making it possible.
