You know it’s summer on Long Island when you can go to your favorite park and enjoy live music! This weekend I enjoyed the Library Jazz Band at the SousaBandShell and The Bodega Tallboys at North Hempstead Beach Park.
Thanks to the Sousa Bandshell and the Town of North Hempstead for bringing these great bands to our community!
Summer is just beginning. If you see me at a concert, come over and say hello!👋
Thank you to the Sierra Club for endorsing my Assembly campaign!
As a longtime champion for environmental protection, ecological stewardship, and climate action, I’m proud to have the support of an organization with such a distinguished record of advocacy for our planet.
Together, we can help create a greener, more sustainable future for Long Island.
A big thank you to Ann and Norman for opening up their home in Roslyn and inviting friends and neighbors from all over the North Shore to join me, Town Supervisor candidate Sean McCarthy, state senate candidate @RoryLancman , and @VoteKaiman (representing Congressman @Tom_Suozzi ) for a meet and greet. The conversation was thoughtful, wide-ranging, and urgent, touching on issues like skyrocketing home prices, Long Island’s dangerous roads, immigration policy, and how to engage young people in the political process.
Janet Goldstein of the Long Island chapter of @MomsDemand was also in attendance, and I was grateful that she let the crowd know that we are all Gun Sense Candidates.
I left feeling more hopeful than ever about flipping these seats and restoring robust representation to the people of Long Island’s North Shore.
If you would like to host a meet and greet in your home, please reach out to my campaign!
It was an honor to join the students from Can You Help Too at the grand opening of their exhibit in the Children’s Room at the Port Washington Public Library!
This exhibit documents the great work these high school students are doing to organize food drives for our local food pantries.
Congratulations to the students for this well-deserved recognition—and to all of the adults who facilitate their service to the community. Thank you for your dedication to helping our neighbors in need!
Teaching at an all-boys school early in my career showed me how real mental health challenges are for men and boys.
This Men’s Mental Health Month, we need to break the stigma, address loneliness and isolation, support mental health education, and make sure no one suffers in silence.
Today’s Supreme Court decision allowing the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants is cruel, reckless, and morally indefensible.
TPS protects people whose home countries are unsafe because of war, violence, disaster, or humanitarian crisis. Stripping those protections from families who have lived, worked, paid taxes, raised children, and built their lives here is not about safety — it is about fear, punishment, and political cruelty.
This decision puts hundreds of thousands of people at risk and threatens to tear apart families and communities across the country, including thousands here on Long Island.
We should be standing with our Haitian, Syrian, and immigrant neighbors — not forcing them into danger. I condemn this decision and the anti-immigrant agenda behind it, and I call on Congress to take immediate action to protect these and other TPS recipients. I will always fight for dignity, due process, and basic human rights.

June is Immigrant Heritage Month, and a great time to celebrate our immigrant neighbors and their contributions to Long Island’s economy, culture, and life.
Long Island has a long history of vibrant immigrant communities, and today 1 in 5 Long Islanders are immigrants. The immigrant community accounts for 22% of Long Island's economic output, makes up 28% of Long Island’s business owners, and contributes over $8 billion each year in taxes.*
These are impressive statistics, but the contributions of Long Island’s immigrant community go beyond any numbers. Immigrants are friends, neighbors, parents, first responders, doctors, teachers, business owners, innovators, scientists, caregivers, laborers, community leaders and so much more.
During this time of xenophobic rhetoric and abusive policies, we must stand with our Long Island community. This month, we honor the impact immigrants have had on Long Island life and culture and renew our commitment to building inclusive and safe communities.

Long Island’s water quality is improving in some ways — but we cannot mistake progress for mission accomplished.
Clean water is essential to our health, our environment, and Long Island’s future. Newsday’s reporting shows that while we have made real progress in parts of Long Island Sound, too many of our bays, beaches, and waterways still face serious threats.
We need sustained investment, stronger protections, modern infrastructure, and leaders who understand that clean water is a public health issue, an environmental issue, and an affordability issue.
Protecting Long Island’s water must remain a top priority — and I’ll fight to make sure it is.
Four years after Roe was overturned, women are dying because politicians banned abortion.
This is the reality of losing reproductive freedom: delayed care, denied care, and lives put at risk.
Abortion care is health care. Reproductive care saves lives.
I will never stop fighting to protect access, defend our rights, and keep politicians out of our most personal medical decisions.

Congratulations to Congressman Tom Suozzi and Comptroller Tom DiNapoli on their primary wins!
Proud to be on a slate of candidates who are committed to delivering for Long Island and our communities.
Let’s carry this momentum forward and secure victory in November!
Proud to spend some time in Queens today supporting Grace Meng in the Democratic primary!
There’s nothing better than seeing volunteers, neighbors, and community leaders come together to make sure every voice is heard.
Grace has always been a strong, steady fighter for her communities and for ours, and she brings a valuable voice as the only Asian member of Congress from New York. Today is all about showing up for leaders who show up for all of us.
Polls are open until 9 PM — make a plan, bring a friend, and go vote!
What an exciting night in Great Neck supporting Sean McCarthy for North Hempstead Town Supervisor and our full team of candidates.
It was great to see Congressman Tom Suozzi, Councilwoman Christine Liu, and so many neighbors come together in support of Sean’s campaign and the work ahead. I’m also grateful for the support and leadership of Congresswoman Grace Meng, whose voice means so much to communities across Queens, Long Island, and beyond.
Events like this are a powerful reminder of the importance of coalition-building and making sure every community has a voice at the table. The Asian community is a vital part of North Hempstead’s strength, and their engagement, leadership, and support will be essential as we work together for a stronger, more inclusive future.
Proud to support Sean and our entire slate as we continue organizing, listening, and building momentum together.
Proud to join so many Port Washington neighbors last night in support of Rory Lancman for State Senate.
Rory is a strong voice for safer communities, public schools, reproductive freedom, and government that works for people. I’m proud to support him and look forward to working together in Albany.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us this past weekend to talk to Roslyn voters about the importance of tomorrow’s primary election and the election in November!
I’m so grateful to the volunteers who showed up, knocked doors, and helped us have meaningful conversations with voters. This is how we build a strong grassroots campaign — neighbor by neighbor, conversation by conversation.
There will be many more opportunities to get involved in the weeks ahead, and we would love to have you with us. Whether you can canvass, make calls, host a lawn sign, or help at an event, every bit of support makes a difference.
I had a wonderful morning celebrating Father’s Day in the park with the Joy Fu Senior Club and the Chinese American Association of North Hempstead.
Events like this are a beautiful reminder of the strength of our community — families, seniors, neighbors, and local leaders coming together to celebrate, connect, and support one another.
Thank you to the organizers for welcoming me and for all you do to build community across North Hempstead. It was a meaningful way to honor fathers, grandfathers, and father figures and the important role they play in our families and communities.
Happy Father’s Day to the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, father figures, and caregivers who work hard every day to support their families and strengthen our communities.
Honoring fathers also means fighting for the issues that help families thrive, strong schools, affordable communities, safe neighborhoods, good jobs, and a Long Island where the next generation can build a future.
Thanks to Town of North Hempstead Supervisor candidate Sean McCarthy for getting people together to watch the World Cup at Finn MacCool’s in Port Washington! The USA beat Australia, 2-0! 🇺🇸⚽️🇺🇸⚽️

What a beautiful evening for Port Promenade! Our team set up a table outside our campaign headquarters at 166-168 Main Street—a wonderful opportunity to chat with passersby about the importance of the Democratic Primary and the general election this November. Thanks to the volunteers who worked our table and to everyone who stopped by to ask questions or get involved!
Meanwhile, I took a stroll down Main Street with Town Supervisor candidate Sean McCarthy. It was great to see so many families out enjoying Port’s vibrant downtown, and we enjoyed connecting with people and telling them about our campaigns.
Thanks to the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District for organizing Port Promenade and making it such a success!
