Honored see you Friday 🗣️🗣️🗣️ – at East Aurora, NY
I’m proud to announce that next Friday, November 14, I will be honoring @BuffaloBills offensive lineman @DDawkins66 with the Key to the City of Buffalo!
Dion represents everything that makes Buffalo special — hard work, heart, and a commitment to lifting others up. Through his non-profit organization @DionsDreamers, he’s impacted countless children and families across the City of Buffalo and Western New York, inspiring all of us to give back and spread kindness.
Join us in Niagara Square on Friday, November 14, from 5:00–7:00 PM for a free, family-friendly celebration at Buffalo City Hall featuring music, food trucks, and more, with the Key to the City ceremony beginning at 5:30 PM. Let’s come together to celebrate one of Buffalo’s biggest hearts — both on and off the field.

I was proud to join Mayor Scanlon and local leaders to announce $12 million in new funding for the Michigan Avenue Streetscape — a project that will make this historic corridor safer, more welcoming, and better connected.
When I served as chair of the New York State Senate Transportation Committee, I fought to ensure our city received its fair share of road funding. Seeing that work turn into real improvements for our neighborhoods is what it’s all about.
Together, we’re building a Buffalo where every community can thrive.
