District 14 deserves nice things and our community delivered! 🎊🥚💐

After an egg-tastic hunt where 846+ young constituents scavenged through St. James Park for golden eggs, everyone enjoyed tunes, bouncy houses, popcorn, face painting, and even cartoon drawings.

I joined neighbors and colleagues throughout the city to honor the lives lost and impacted by the Jet Set tragedy in the Dominican Republic.

My heart goes out to the individuals, their families, and loved ones as we continue to mourn together – across borders, while united in grief.

WOW! And with that, Participatory Budgeting is a wrap!

Thank you to all our partners for helping us reach 60% more constituents in District 14 than last year to decide how $1M should be invested in our community.

We’ll be announcing the winning project in the coming months.

Stay tuned!

HUGE HOUSING WIN! 🎉

Housing is a human right. After over a decade of living in hazardous conditions, the tenants of 2201-05 Davidson are on their way to resident ownership.

I’m proud to have supported the tenants, alongside organizers at NWBCCC and @legalaidnyc.bsky.social.

When merchants organize, they can share resources, voice their concerns, and bring attention to the common issues of the commercial corridor. ✊

As I continue in today’s Committee on Housing and Buildings hearing, it’s important to remember why I’m so concerned with the lack of adequate investments for New Yorkers across the city and the need for major improvements in our housing and building systems.

Thank you Yankasa, for welcoming my team to host a Ramadan distribution.

Together w/AM Dais, NY Common Pantry, & Bell Organization, we provided 300 bags of fruits, vegetable & halal chicken + prayer mats.

Acts of service like these strengthen our communities + remind us of the power of unity.
