It was an incredible honor to be sworn in today as the next City Councilwoman of District 20. I'm humbled by the trust my fellow voters have placed in me and excited to continue working alongside my neighbors to ensure that our community is one where everyone can and will thrive.
Hotel workers aren't just your neighbors, they're the backbone of our city's hospitality industry. Proud to support them as they fight for a fair contract that allows them to actually live in the city they do so much to support.
The NYC hotel industry is launching a $500k ad campaign ahead of their contract expiring with our union. A representative for the hotel industry reportedly “raged” over our “cushy” union contract in an attempt to build sympathy for billionaire hotel owners and international corporations.
The truth? Nothing about hotel work is cushy. It's back-breaking work, done by hardworking New Yorkers who are trying to survive in an unaffordable city.

Governor Hochul, along with @Grace4NY, @LiuNewYork, @DRichardsQNS, and we on the Council, will keep fighting to protect our working families and small businesses.
Walked with @GovKathyHochul to hear directly from small biz owners about the impact of tariffs and aggressive immigration enforcement on our community.
They were clear: the chaos coming from the Trump administration is hurting families and small businesses here in Flushing.
Great choice for LG by @KathyHochul! @AdrienneEAdams was a strong leader fighting for working families on the City Council and I know she'll bring that same energy to Albany as our Lieutenant Governor.
Exciting announcement: I have a running mate.
I picked a New Yorker from Southeast Queens. Someone who grew up in a union household, just like I did. A fighter who knows how to deliver for New York.
Welcome to the team my friend – and our next Lieutenant Governor – @AdrienneEAdams.
Every day, my office helps individuals who had their EBT cards skimmed. Many of these working families and seniors will struggle to put food on the table while thieves make off with their grocery money. Thank you @votejgr for fighting for this common sense reform!
🎉 VICTORY for food security in NY! 🥕
In NY Governor @KathyHochul’s Executive Budget, we secured wins I’ve fought for for years: chip-enabled EBT to stop SNAP theft, expanded summer meals, & expanded Summer EBT—so kids eat year-round and working families aren’t left behind.
The members have spoken: Julie Menin will be the next Speaker of the New York City Council!
No one works harder on behalf of the people than Julie Menin. Having worked with Julie for over a decade, from DCWP to the City Council, I should know! Great news for everyone.
I’m supporting @JulieMenin for Speaker because she has the experience and skills to lead the City Council as we fight for a city that is more affordable for all.
.@JulieMenin has a track record not only as a legislator but also as a Commissioner who effectively ran city agencies and delivered real results for New York. Her management experience and policy expertise are exactly what we need to deliver for working families across our city.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Inclusive Iftar!
We honored Tammy Rose, Sir Dr Abu Zafar Mahmood and Council Member Danny Dromm for their incredible contributions to our community.
May this Ramadan be a time of reflection, connection, and continued solidarity.
Too many New Yorkers are being robbed of the money they rely on to put food on the table. I joined my colleagues in government and victims on Friday to highlight the urgent need to combat and prevent the theft of SNAP benefits. 🧵
