I had the honor to attend the memorial service the newly dedicated memorial in Putnam County honoring the Italian immigrants who lost their lives in the 1895 Tilly Foster Mine disaster—a tragedy that took 130 years to receive the recognition it deserves.

Happy Thanksgiving! This year I’m grateful for our Hudson Valley community and for all of you who have welcomed me to your tables and into your businesses. I’m grateful to have grown up in a community that gave me much and inspires me to make sure our children have the same opportunities.

Great to be with community members at the Phase 2 engagement for Rockland County’s Comprehensive Plan. This process touches everything—housing, transportation, economic development, community services, and the future we want to build together.

I love visiting Sleepy Coffee, Too in Sleepy Hollow — a non-profit cafe that provides training and employment for people with disabilities. Not only do I get a delicious espresso, but every visit reminds what happens when a community commits to solutions that work for everyone.

Thank you to the Yorktown Democratic Committee for hosting me and taking the time to get to know my campaign. I truly enjoyed our conversation and the thoughtful questions about issues that matter to Yorktown, our district, and our country. I look forward to staying connected.

It was an honor to attend the unveiling ceremony for the highway sign dedicated to Hector L. Soto in Haverstraw. Hector proudly served in the U.S. Air Force, worked in law enforcement, and devoted his life to public service — leaving a legacy that continues to inspire.

Thank you Green Ossining for hosting last night’s forum on energy and the environment!
The Trump Administration is cutting regulation and attacking the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, the result being polluters pad their profits and the rest of us pay the price.

Enjoyed an espresso and pastry at First Village Coffee in Ossining — such a wonderful community gathering place and a hub that draws people from all over the Greater NY area. The pistachio raspberry pastry was top-notch!

Shoutout to the Green Ossining Café Repair Project! Such a great concept that reduces waste and encourages sustainability… and they managed to fix my mom’s favorite jacket. Thank you, April, and the whole Green Ossining team!

Spotted on the 6 o’clock news! Thank you Gaelle Jules and Amelia Mena, of Girl Scout Troop 40201, and their mothers for playing a special part in Suffern’s Veterans Day celebration. Dedication to service is why I’m running for Congress and why I’m so inspired by Gaelle and Amelia.

Celebrated Veterans Day with our Suffern community today. What a great event, and even better to see the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts participating in not only commemorating Veterans Day but learning about public service.

After serving in the Air Force for 26 years, I’m running for Congress because I can’t sit on the sidelines while Trump and Mike Lawler make life harder for ordinary people.
I will work tirelessly to make your life better and more affordable in the Hudson Valley. Thank you.
