Full circle moment! It was wonderful to reconnect with Katie Brennan, a classmate of mine from elementary school all the way through high school in Lake Placid!
Katie now serves on the Lake Placid Village Board of Trustees and is part of the exploratory committee alongside @Bobby4Brooklyn exploring a bid to bring the Winter Olympics back to New York, with events in both Lake Placid and New York City.
It was a pleasure to join Stephen Gaynor School in celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Community Learning Center (CLC)!
Borough President @bradhoylman kicked off the celebration by presenting a proclamation to Stephen Gaynor School in recognition of this important milestone.
For two decades, the CLC has partnered with New York City public schools to provide free reading support to first and second graders, strengthening students’ literacy skills and helping educators better support their success.
Congratulations to CLC founder Donna Logue, @galeabrewer, Principals Lolis, Mastriano, and Berry, Keech, and Akshay Shetty on being recognized for their contributions. Thank you to Dr. Scott Gaynor and the entire school community for their continued commitment to student success.
I was proud to join @LandmarkWest tonight for its annual Mumford Award celebration honoring Dr. Susan Weber for her extraordinary contributions to the arts, education, and historic preservation.
As the founder of Bard Graduate Center, Dr. Weber has dedicated her career to
deepening our understanding of art, design, & cultural history, and the importance of preserving our shared heritage for future generations.
It was a honor to present her with a @NYSenate proclamation officially declaring October 20, 2026, Susan Weber Day in Senate District 47!
I’m a big believer in looking at what other cities, states, and countries are doing and bringing the best ideas back to New York!
On Friday, I was watching @NY1 “Mornings on 1” when @patkiernan and @JamieStelter covered an innovative program in London known as the “Sin Bin,”
where cyclists caught violating traffic laws can watch a road safety video instead of paying a fine. I immediately thought, why aren’t we doing this in New York? Just days later, Assemblymember @jordanjgwright and I introduced legislation to bring this idea to our state!

I’m proud to receive the endorsement of Voters for Animal Rights!
Throughout my time in public office, I’ve fought to make NY a more compassionate place for animals, from working to end the horse-drawn carriage industry to advocating for stronger animal welfare protections.

I’m deeply honored to be recognized as the second inductee into the Hall of Honor by the Lloyd Richards Fellowship and the Celebrating Lloyd Richards Committee.
I have tremendous admiration for the work of Julius Hollingsworth, the Lloyd Richards Fellowship, and the Celebrating Lloyd Richards Committee. Their dedication to preserving his legacy and creating opportunities for the next generation of artists is so important.
