As a proud Puerto Rican and son of the Bronx, it was an honor to deliver remarks this morning at
@NassauExec Bruce Blakeman’s Puerto Rican Heritage Celebration.
For more than 30 years, our community has come together to celebrate Puerto Rican heritage and the generations of Puerto Ricans whose hard work, sacrifice, and resilience have helped shape New York and our nation.
When that longstanding tradition was unexpectedly canceled, County Executive Blakeman stepped forward to ensure our community would still be recognized and celebrated.
Today was a powerful reminder that leadership is about action. It is about showing up, standing with communities, and recognizing the contributions of those who have helped build a stronger city, state, and country.
Thank you, County Executive Blakeman, for your leadership and for honoring Puerto Rican heritage.
