Great day at Construction Career Days! Thank you to IUOE Local 17 for hosting, and for the many members of organized labor and agencies who joined today to help introduce young WNYers to good paying union careers.
Today our community and our labor family lost one of its own. May the firefighter taken by today's fire in downtown Buffalo rest in peace, and may his wife and family feel the love and support we send from 145,000 heavy hearts.
To our brothers, sisters, and siblings at Buffalo Professional Firefighters Local 282, thank you for your work every day to keep our community safe. As a Federation, we hope you'll use us as a resource as you begin to process this trauma and grieve this loss.
Yesterday, I had the honor of presenting before the @NYSenate Transportation Committee. On behalf of NY's counties, I requested additional road repair aid and noted the great partnership between all. Thank you Chair @SenKennedy for the chance to speak.

Did you hear the news? I am running for reelection to be your Erie County Executive!
While we've accomplished much, there is more work to do.
Please watch my announcement video and then share it so we can begin writing our next historic chapter together.

Spent the morning at Construction Career Days in Hamburg with @mitch4fillmore and @JonRivera149.
A great opportunity for high school students to learn about careers in construction trades. Thanks to local unions for putting together this important event!
Construction trades offer a great career, and there are many open positions locally. Today, @BuffBldgTrades had an open house for 530 high school seniors to learn what it's like working for a trade at Op. Engineers Local 17. Hopefully today is the start of a career for many.

Turned in the last of our hundreds of letters of support for the new Buffalo Bills Stadium to the Erie County Legislature. Thank you @markpoloncarz and @GovKathyHochul for keeping the Bills in Buffalo and ensuring workers on the project will be paid fair wages and benefits.#IBEW
Thank you @GovKathyHochul and @markpoloncarz for investing in WNY which will create thousands of construction jobs and keep the @BuffaloBills in Buffalo! https://t.co/J79G7RVVJf
Senator @lisamurkowski joined us today and discussed the impact of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, as well as the importance of utilizing union labor.
"I’ll be a champion for organized labor and I will work alongside you."

Join me at @NABTU’s Legislative Conference as we celebrate America’s builders and discuss how Democrats are investing in our infrastructure, strengthening our labor movement and #BuildingABetterAmerica. https://t.co/eFPug0NyNx
One of the key terms I fought hard to get in the new Bills Stadium Agreement is it is to be built under a project labor agreement with the Buffalo Building Trades Council. This will ensure that our hard-working WNY men and women of organized labor benefit from our investment.
When unions are strong, America is strong.
As the most pro-worker administration in history, we're empowering all workers who want to join a union, organize and collectively bargain with their employers: https://t.co/E6AWvz5nuM
The @NYSBCTC is proud to endorse Gov. @KathyHochul’s campaign for a full term. Governor Hochul has been a lifelong advocate for working people and is committed to building a #NewEraForNY that's defined by transformative projects that lead to middle-class careers w/ benefits.
