The UAW and I have stood together since day one. In the final days of budget negotiations, I’m fighting for their legislative agenda—because when we fight, we win! Drive American, and stand with UAW!

Three county-funded art projects are coming to life! Thanks to a bill I passed during my time in the County Legislature, local artists are being recognized as both creators and business owners—beautifying our community with taxpayer-funded public art. buffalonews.com/news/local/art…

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. It marks how far into this year a Black woman must work to earn what a white man made last year. Equity isn’t optional – it’s a necessity. We honor Black women’s resilience and keep fighting for fair pay. #BlackWomensEqualPay

Yesterday, we signed Desha’s Law in honor of my cousin Desha, who we lost at just 12 years old to sudden cardiac arrest. There were no protocols in place to save her. Now, this law will make sure other kids get the chance she didn’t. ā¤ļø Everyone who supported this bill - TY!!!
