Delighted to have participated in the groundbreaking inaugural AAPI Summit convened by NYS Assembly APA Task Force.

We fostered engaging dialogues, exchanged meaningful experiences, and cultivated pragmatic solutions to empower our #AAPI community, led by our AAPI community leaders.

This #TeacherAppreciationWeek , we thank our teachers for all they do for students. We owe so much to the teachers who taught us to be curious and encouraged our ambitions.

Let's support our educators across Long Island and the entire state as we join together in thanking them.

New York takes a bold step towards gun safety with a new bill aiming to ban the sales of pistols easily converted into machine guns. A proactive move towards preventing potential tragedies. #EnoughIsEnough smokinggun.org/new-york-intro…

Proud to join Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action in their tireless advocacy for gun safety.

Today's introduction of new legislation to stop the flow of illegal machine guns into our communities marks a significant first step in making New Yorkers safer.

The spread of illegally modified guns across the country has been startling. With the addition of one simple device, a semi-automatic weapon can be turned into a machine gun.

Proud to stand with colleagues and advocates on this legislative package. We need accountability now.
