From day one, I’ve believed in Dr. Dorcey Applyrs and her vision for a city that truly serves its people. Her election as Mayor marks the beginning of a new chapter…one defined by collaboration, accountability, and a shared commitment to making Albany stronger for *everyone* who calls it home.

THOUSANDS of us were out today on Western Ave standing in unity against Trump’s fascist regime for No Kings 2.0 - I was in awe of the thousands of people around me and invigorated to be a small part of it.
Together we are stronger, more organized, and *united* we can move forward and through this.

I stand with @newyorkstateag.bsky.social This indictment is ridiculous - AG James has been an incredible advocate, a leader for NY, and a fighter for all - for these reasons she is being targeted and for these reasons I’ve got her back.

There needs to be an opportunity for NYS to fight back when government actors are out of line.
I just introduced A.9076/S.8500 with Senator Myrie - a bill that gives New Yorkers the power to hold government officials accountable in our own state courts when they violate our constitutional rights.

As the Trump administration tries to control how museums present the past, it's more important than ever for the state to invest in its cultural institutions.

Today I joined colleagues from NY, MA, and PA to support the MELT Act, led by @patriciafahy46.bsky.social & @tonysimone.bsky.social. The bill bans ICE an federal agents from hiding their identities, promoting safety and transparency for vulnerable communities. I am committed to safety for all.

Ten years ago, SCOTUS ruled for marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges, a victory built on generations of LGBTQIA+ courage and pride. But the fight isn’t over. Our most vulnerable communities still face growing threats. I’ll keep fighting for dignity, safety, and love for all. 🏳️🌈🤍

I was so proud to stand with my colleagues in the NYS Assembly to protect due process in this year’s budget. We fought to preserve the heart of the 2020 discovery reforms because access to evidence isn’t a technicality; it’s a constitutional right.

It's #InternationalWorkersDay - aka May Day - and it's been a whirlwind of labor rallies today. My parents were proud union members, and I'll always be labor's proud partner in government.

I’ve seen firsthand how transparency in the criminal legal process strengthens our communities and increases integrity in the courtroom.
As a former public defender and now Assemblymember, I’m using my trial experience and voice to push back on the false narratives about New York’s discovery law.

Opinion: Discovery reform works. Don’t let prosecutors gut it.
The supposed “crisis” surrounding discovery is a uniquely downstate issue, and it is extremely reckless to alter the law for the entire state simply because certain prosecutors say they are struggling...

Donald Trump’s tariff plan will drive up energy costs, adding to working families' already skyrocketing bills. As we all grapple with the chaos in Washington, I won't stop working to lower costs, from investing in affordable green energy to passing measures to lower utility bills.
