Heartbroken by the passing of former New York Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari.
Public service was a natural calling for Ron. A former colleague while we served together in the Assembly, and a longtime mayor of Cohoes, he was a titan who always fought on behalf of those he represented.

This week, the American people responded boldly and forcefully to the dismal failures of the Trump administration and its enablers in Congress. Now, the real work begins to deliver accountability and affordability for American families. Read more here:

So proud to be in Mechanicville this morning for the Capital Region Toys for Tots kickoff press conference! I’m so grateful to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and all the members of our community who donate their time and energy to this special program each and every year.
I want to make sure you have the resources you need this open enrollment to access the best healthcare plan for you and your family.
That’s why I’m hosting an event in Albany next week to help residents get coverage for 2027. Register and see more details at:

What a night. Now the real work begins.
Today is Election Day!🗳️
Our democracy is strongest when every eligible voter makes their voice heard.
I spent the final week before the midterms doing one of my favorite parts of my job—traveling NY-20 to meet residents & connect on the issues that matter. Learn more about my push to support kids' early learning, honor local veterans, and deliver housing investments for our community:
Have a safe, fun, and happy Halloween!🎃👻
Hope all in our Capital Region and beyond have a scary good time!
Proud to be with BCNI in Schenectady today to celebrate the completion of the newly renovated Hamilton Crossing Apartments – a shining example of the progress we can make when we invest in programs that ensure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home.
This morning, I was proud to present the families of SN Wilfred Marsolais, SN Charles H. Peck Jr., and LT John T. Whalen with copies of the Congressional Gold Medal their relatives earned during their service in the U.S. Merchant Marines in World War II.
Halloween candy prices are scary high this year.
Kids deserve the classic trick-or-treating experience we all fondly remember. But, under Trump's inflation, costs of candy, costumes, and everything else are too expensive.
So much of a child’s life is shaped by his or her first years.
Today, I was joined by advocates to speak against the Trump administration’s efforts to erase Head Start and rip away early learning and child development services from our kids and families.
Even amid this administration’s attacks on our democracy, your vote still matters – and I’m committed to doing everything in my power to protect your right to vote and ensure you have the information you need to exercise it. Read more here:

When my Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT) Act became law, it removed red tape blocking coverage to lifesaving addiction medication. Had a great conversation with advocates & community members in Sullivan County on how to fully realize the dream of that law and open the doors of access for all.
While Americans struggle to navigate the affordability crisis caused by the Trump administration’s disastrous economic policies, Trump and his cronies are focused only on enriching themselves and protecting their own wealth. Read more here:

Three children and a teacher have been lost to the scourge of gun violence. My heart is broken for the community of Bend, Oregon.
No child, parent, educator, or community should ever have to live through this pain.

Joined my colleagues in New York to hear from voting rights experts on the Trump administration's attempts to interfere with our elections. They made clear that our democracy is not a spectator sport. We all play a role in keeping our elections free and fair for every citizen.
While Trump continues to blame everyone but himself for rising prices, American families continue to struggle under the costs of his reckless tariffs and war of choice with Iran.
The raid on Congresswoman Omar’s home—just weeks before the election—is an absurd abuse of power.
Once again, Trump is weaponizing the federal government to target and intimidate political opponents.
There have been promising advancements in Alzheimer's diagnoses & treatments in recent years. But that progress will mean little if patients can't access or afford them. I joined my colleague Rep. Buchanan to author legislation that ensures access to screening tests that diagnose this disease early.
