81 years ago today, thousands of brave Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy in one of the most pivotal moments of World War II. We remember the immense sacrifice made on D-Day and honor the heroes who risked everything to defend freedom and liberate Europe.

We wish a blessed and peaceful Eid al-Adha to all those observing. #EidMubarak #Eid

We’re pleased to announce the passage of our legislation to establish an elder financial exploitation public awareness campaign.

I’m proud to support #EqualPayNY! In the face of federal cuts & the financial security crisis engulfing our communities, especially our older adults, this bill is urgently needed to boost pay equity, workers’ rights & bring us the affordable city & state our workforce deserves!

I was pleased to host LiveOn NY Executive Director Allison Nickerson on Manhattan Neighborhood Network's Rise Up with Rebecca Seawright. We discussed her efforts, and our shared mission, to grow and strengthen services for older adults. youtube.com/watch?v=L5yoHf…

Proud to have co-sponsored Francesco's Law, to give NY families greater protections from unsecured firearms. It will help our communities avoid preventable tragedies like the one that befell Francesco, who was a brilliant & kind 17 yr. old, & his family.youtu.be/bGFnKv9klL8?si…

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads in our district! #FathersDay

Proud to have co-sponsored Francesco's Law, to give NY families greater protections from unsecured firearms & to help them avoid preventable tragedies like the one that befell Francesco, who was a brilliant & kind 17 yr. old, & his family. June is #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth

A nation that resolves its differences by the barrel of a gun rather than peaceful, democratic processes is not the Republic we want to bequeath to our children. Read my full statement on the horrific political violence in Minnesota below.

LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay Awareness Day addresses the inequities affecting LGBTQ+ workers’ incomes. LGBTQ+ workers are more likely to work lower-paying jobs, and many experience workplace discrimination. There's no #EqualPayNY without #LGBTQIAEqualPay! @powherny

We must ensure rules against deceptive practices apply to everyone. That's why we passed the FAIR Business Practices Act. This will shield NYers from predatory lending, phishing scams, aggressive debt collection, data breaches, and hard-to-cancel subscriptions.

I proudly co-sponsored this bill that addresses NY's senior energy affordability crisis. It will reduce costs, increase access, and help vulnerable NYers get financial assistance. #seniors #energy

People with disabilities often face structural barriers when seeking healthcare. I proudly co-sponsored this legislation, which requires that hospitals ask patients if they need accommodations under the ADA. #accessibility #disability #accommodation
