Many veterans never ask to be recognized. Thatโ€™s why Macedonโ€™s Hometown Heroes Banner Unveiling matters. Each banner reminds us of the men and women who served, and the families who sacrificed alongside them. We see you, we honor you, and we thank you. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

How many more lives need to be shattered before we act? I stood with Sheriffs @Sheriff_Baxter, Cirencione, Hood, and sheriffs from across NY to demand passage of the PROTECT Act and keep violent and repeat offenders off our streets. Watch my remarks youtu.be/Xtc67PwR4JA

I hear it every day: people in my district want lower utility bills, reliable energy, and local control. This week, the Senate passed an โ€œenergyโ€ package that falls short on all three. Politics got in the way of real relief. Watch my floor remarks below โฌ‡๏ธ

Turns out I may need a little more practice, but I had a great time at Apprenticeship Works in Albany. It was inspiring to meet apprentices and instructors from across New York and see the skill, precision, and teamwork behind the trades.

ORES can override local laws, including zoning. I opposed this process when it was created in the 2020 budget, and I still do. I joined my colleagues in demanding answers on project siting, transparency, and impacts to farmland and protected lands. Read our letter below.

Violence against healthcare workers cannot be tolerated. I met with local nurses to talk about solutions to better safeguard the people who care for us. That's why we need to pass the #PROTECTAct and keep violent and repeat offenders off our streets. @CSC_NY

A letter from a Lakeview Correctional employee makes this crisis real. In their own words, they describe how dangerous conditions have become for staff. Albany must act on staffing, accountability, and restoring safety. (2/2)
