Qualified immunity must be guaranteed for our State law enforcement &that’s why I stood up to get legislative intent on the record. We are safeguarding this protection so that our State& local police can continue to do their important work and keep us safe

I’ve driven in fog, torrential downpour, blizzards, vicious winds and every other weather condition - so it’s nice that on my last drive up to Albany it was a beautiful sunny day! Happy last week of session!
As we pass the 2026 NYS Budget, I’m very proud to report that 4 of my bills were included & will soon become law! This is a budget that helps our law enforcement, firefighters, correction officers & sanitation workers - the wonderful men and women who keep New York moving forward
From Howard Beach to Rockaway, it was an honor to come together with our community to commemorate Memorial Day & honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation. Thank you to the volunteers, the NYPD Precincts & the VFWs for your help with these ceremonies
On Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you to the families of the fallen and to all who served!
It’s a great day: not only because it’s beach opening day but because Connolly’s has opened for the season! What are you having, a frozen pink lemonade or pina colada?
Our Vollies do AMAZING work-which is why I voted to strengthen support & increase the personal income tax credit from $200 to $800 for individuals, & $400 to $1600 for joint filers. Putting money back into the pockets of our Vollies is a small way NYS is saying thank you!
For 10yrs I have served on the Assembly Veterans’ Affairs Committee. It has been a privilege to stand up for those who served our nation & call NY home. As we adjourn our last Committee meeting I appreciate the praise by the Chairman for my work & will always support our Veterans
With the Arverne East project we’re creating new housing opportunities including homeownership with a public pool! I was proud to secure Assembly Capital funding for this project & thank Speaker Heastie & Governor Hochul for their help & commitment to our community.
Today demonstrates the innovation that New York State is taking for governmental employees to further job opportunities. By establishing new testing centers, Governor Hochul is creating a modern and convenient approach for all State employees to advance their careers!
It was my honor to speak at the NYS Police Officers Memorial. We honor the memories of the heroic men and women who gave their lives in the pursuit of keeping our communities safe. On behalf of New York, we are forever grateful. May their memories always be a blessing.
The wait is finally over! With the expansion of @ResortsWorldNYC we will now have live table games, along with the creation of thousands of good paying jobs - kicking off a new era of economic development. This is a game changer!
As we commemorate Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the 6 million Jewish lives and millions of additional lives murdered during the Holocaust. We must always remember, so we may never forget.
May their memories forever be a blessing.
Earlier this week I had the privilege of introducing Dr. Amit Verma on the floor of the Assembly. His work, funded by resources I secured in the State budget, has led to incredible breakthroughs in pre-cancer screenings for our 9/11 heroes.

Had a great meeting with our friends from @TeachNYS about the importance of STEM education & school security funding. I want every child to have the best learning experience & that’s why we’re working together to ensure even our non-public schools get the resources they need!
@QC_News President Frank Wu stopped by to give me an update on the amazing things going on at QC. As they expand and continue to do great things, it’s clear there is an opportunity for a top-notch college education right here in our own Borough!
I’ve seen first hand the amazing work of the @LexforthedeafNY! These students don’t let their disability get in their way and I am so proud to support their advocacy. Keep up the amazing work!
