I am shocked and appalled by the violent, antisemitic riot that broke out at @HillcrestHSNYC earlier this week. A Jewish educator was targeted for her religious identity. This is unacceptable and we will never tolerate hate in Queens. Please see my full statement below:

Hey @JabariBrisport why are you lying? Not only do I reject Zohran's divisive and dangerous policies, but he's nowhere on my ballot! In my opinion no one should rank @ZohranKMamdani This is deeply disingenuous and beneath a sitting State Senator. #VoteCuomo

My position hasn't changed on Congestion Pricing - it's a bad deal for New Yorkers! I praised Governor Hochul's indefinite pause this summer but it's time to put a permanent end to this misguided program! New Yorkers are struggling and the last thing they need is another new tax.

NY1 has learned Gov. Hochul is mulling a decision to bring back congestion pricing, but lawmakers, union leaders and other stakeholders have mixed feelings about its revival. specne.ws/gDw6Wj

Sen. @jessicaramosqns is a stanch advocate for the Queens community, and I applaud her endorsement of @andrewcuomo for New York City Mayor. Now is the time for us to come together as a party and nominate the strongest candidate for our city's future.

This is from @nycDSA questionnaire for 2021 City Council candidates. It asks them to pledge not to travel to Israel.

Today my Clean Bill of Adoptee Rights guaranteeing adoptees access to their original birth certificates passed the Assembly and will be delivered to the Governor. I thank Sen. Montgomery for sponsoring this bill in the Senate & helping to restore this crucial right.

Today I spoke against #congestionpricing in #Manhattan. New York’s struggling middle class cannot afford another regressive tax in the form of a congestion tax. We need to penalize congestion makers and tax the wealthiest New Yorkers to fund the @MTA and reduce traffic.

This afternoon @JeniferRajkumar and I led a public gathering outside the Sikh Cultural Society with community and elected leaders. Together we denounced the recent attack against an elderly Sikh man in our neighborhood.

Please join @SalazarSenate and I, along with a coalition of families, formerly incarcerated people and advocates to demand @NYSDOCCS ends their new heartless package ban directive #bringbackcarepackages

Today I gathered a coalition representing teachers, first responders, delivery drivers, and more. Congestion Pricing will hurt everyday New Yorkers to bail out this latest disaster from the @MTA. I’ve been clear and consistent since it was first proposed: No Congestion Pricing!

I am proud to see Fair & Timely and Elder Parole pass out of the Corrections Committee. We are one step closer to getting these bills to the Governor’s desk. We call on the Speaker to advance these bills to the floor. I will continue to advocate for these important bills

I would like to wish a heartfelt congratulations to @bradlander on a hard fought campaign. I know you will be a great comptroller for the City of New York. This race has always been about bringing the city we love back and I will be here to help you in any way that I can.
