Upper West Side connected, engaged, and vibrant. Community doesn’t happen by accident—it happens because people step up and make it happen.

The New York State Senate passed my legislation that would expand access to HIV prevention medication and help more New Yorkers get the care they need. My bill, S10467, would allow trained pharmacists to furnish HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), making it easier for people to

access this highly effective HIV prevention medication without unnecessary barriers. By expanding access points for care, this legislation would help more New Yorkers receive lifesaving preventive treatment quickly and conveniently, particularly those who

may not have a regular healthcare provider. For decades, New York has been a leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS. This legislation builds on that legacy by ensuring that prevention tools are accessible, affordable, and available to those who need them most.

I gave my first guitar lesson! 🎸 It was a pleasure spending time with Sushil and his son, Niam, who is currently in Pre-K at PS 340. We had a great time learning together, sharing a love of music, and playing a few chords along the way.

It was a privilege to return to New York City Hall, where I worked for 13 years, to join so many distinguished former and current public servants at the @NYCCouncil Alumni Reunion.

It was great meeting with leadership and staff of West Side Federation for Senior and Supportive Housing to discuss their work providing affordable housing, supportive services, and advocacy for some of New York’s most vulnerable residents.

@WSFSSH has long been a leader in helping older adults, formerly homeless New Yorkers, and low-income residents live with dignity and independence. I appreciated the opportunity to hear about their priorities for our district and across the city, and I look forward to continuing

One of the things that makes New York special is its artists. They shape our culture, fuel our economy, and bring life to our communities. But far too many creative workers are being priced out of the city they help define.

That’s why @KeithPowersNYC and I sponsored legislation that would once again allow the creation of affordable housing developments specifically designed to support artists and creative workers. Last week, the bill passed the New York State Senate.

New York cannot afford to become a city only for the wealthy. We must remain a place where artists can live, create, and thrive. 🎭🎨🎶🏙️

I’m proud to endorse Grace Lee for State Senate! Grace is one of Albany’s most effective legislators and a tireless advocate for Lower Manhattan. She has delivered for residents of Chinatown, the L.E.S., Two Bridges, Tribeca, the Financial District, Battery Park City, SoHo,

and Greenwich Village, while fighting for small businesses, working families, and immigrant communities. I’ve worked with Grace and have seen firsthand her intelligence, integrity, and commitment to public service. She’s exactly the kind of leader we need in Albany.
