Joined Long Island City Partnership for Trick-or-Streets in Long Island City. My team had a blast handing out candy and seeing your costumes for Halloween this year!

Halloween is always a great time in Sunnyside 🎃👻🍭🍫🍬 My team gave out candy, enjoyed awesome costumes, and met so many neighbors. See you next year!

We enjoyed tricks and treats at Woodside Houses’ senior Halloween celebration in partnership with Samaritan Daytop Village. Residents took part in a costume contest and haunted house, while my team shared information on Participatory Budgeting Cycle 15. Thanks to everyone who shared their PB ideas!

I’m partnering with Kristen Gonzalez for New York and Metropolitan Transportation Authority - MTA for an Access-A-Ride Training on November 6 at Jacob A. Riis Neighborhood Settlement. See the flyer for more information and register at bit.ly/AARTrainingSD59

As SNAP cuts threaten millions of New Yorkers across the city, we attended the grand opening of The Fortune Society’s food pantry in Long Island City. In addition to supporting our food insecure neighbors, the organization provides housing and jobs assistance for families in need and support for formerly incarcerated individuals as they reenter society. Thank you to the Fortune Society team for your work during this crucial time.

Wishing our neighbors a joyful and meaningful Día de los Mu***os!

Happy Halloween! I hope today's trick or treaters have a ghoulishly great time! As a reminder, we will be giving out candy today from 4-6 in Sunnyside Gardens and from 4:30 - 6:30 in Long Island City.

Wishing everyone a joyful Diwali! May the Festival of Lights bring hope, prosperity, and community to all who celebrate!

Over the last two years, my team and I listened closely to what our neighbors wanted in the OneLIC Neighborhood Plan. Because of that community input and disciplined negotiations, we secured nearly $2 billion in historic investments for Long Island City: funding a connected waterfront, reclaiming a park under the Queensboro Bridge, adding over 1,300 new school seats, upgrading sewage and plumbing infrastructure, investing in NYCHA, and more.

These wins were only possible because I could negotiate directly on behalf of our community. If ballot proposals 2 through 4 pass, local leaders like me will lose that power and neighborhoods like ours will once again bear the brunt NYC’s housing construction, which will only benefit developers, not community.

With this plan, Long Island City can finally be one - without segregation through physical barriers. We can finally bring socioeconomic diversity through MIH options 1 & 3 along with deeply affordable housing units so working class people can live with dignity.
