I love my district. It is ethnically, economically, and geographically diverse. But the truth is that it was intentionally drawn to politically benefit my predecessor. We need to end political gerrymandering once and for all. Congress needs to pass the #ForThePeopleAct.

While everyone focuses is on the Governor's behavior, there's still more to do to fix NY's sexual harassment laws. Holding him accountable, without dismantling the structures that foster harassment in all workplaces, is only half the job. Follow Harassment-Free New York to learn more.

On September 6, and in the early hours of September 7, 1955, a violent mob - unleashed by the Turkish government - attacked the Greeks of Istanbul. The Istanbul Pogrom of 1955 marked the beginning of the end of the city's approximately 100,000 strong Greek community.

Today my team and I are at every subway station in our district to get word out about NY’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Tenants behind on rent or landlords owed rent b/c of Covid may be eligible for help. Visit otda.ny.gov or call 718-248-6044 for info.

A more affordable New York starts with empowered unions and workers. Honored to be named #25 on City & State NY's Labor Power 100 list, & proud to work with my colleagues & union partners to deliver protections for working people across New York State. bit.ly/3h9pOs3

TY to all who joined our community vigils in Marine Park & Bay Ridge to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Together, we shared the heavy burden of still-lingering grief & offered a renewed promise to never forget the memory of everyone - and everything - we lost.

It was lovely to meet with State Senator Andrew Gounardes HC '06 today & to meet Baby Evan, who’s already proudly repping his Hunter College purple! Hunter College Class of 2039, here he comes!

It was a great honor to meet and talk with the Prime Minister of Greece, @KMitsotakis. Greece’s future is bright!

#BREAKING: The SLEEP Act is now law! Thank you Governor Kathy Hochul for your support, William B Magnarelli for his work on this bill, & Justin Brannan for building strong community support to crack down on this obnoxious behavior that feeds a culture of aggressive & reckless driving.

This morning, with great joy we welcomed to the Archdiocese our friend: the newly-elected mayor Eric Adams, accompanied by NYS senator Andrew Gounardes. His All-Holinesses Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew congratulated the mayor-elect, wishing him much success in the work ahead.

It is hard to believe we will be celebrating our 10-year Anniversary serving to our community! Come join us as we celebrate Bay Ridge and all the support our little hamlet has given us!

On the 22nd anniversary of the darkest day our hometown has ever known, we pause to remember the victims, honor the heroes, and commit ourselves to never forget what was taken and what was given on that day and in the days since.
