I had the opportunity to speak at their celebration and honor Al DelBello, former Westchester County Executive and champion of bringing the Medical College to Westchester to serve our community. To many more great years, New York Medical College!

That’s why I am proud to co-sponsor the bipartisan Justice for Ukrainian Children Act, which provides essential funds to aid in the return of abducted children, hold the perpetrators accountable, and requires regular reporting from the State Department on their efforts to return children home.

Throughout the past year, I have had the honor of attending Co-Op building meetings to present building presidents with Congressional Records recognizing their leadership and dedication to their communities.

Seeing their commitment to serving residents and ensuring all voices are heard, even in the largest housing cooperative in the world, is truly inspiring to see. Co-Op City is in good hands!

Recent clashes in the streets of Albania’s capital Tirana are concerning news for this relatively young democracy.  I encourage the avoidance of violent confrontation, and hope that respect for dialogue and democratic principles will prevail.

Last year, President Trump promised to restore $87 million in counterterrorism funding owed to New York, giving our first responders the resources they need to protect our communities and prepare for threats. Yet, that money remains missing.

Every second counts when someone suffers a stroke. To reduce the devastating effects of this life-threatening event, we must ensure patients have access to timely and high-quality care.

At a time when our right to free and fair elections are under threat, I’m proud to have earned an 'A' grade from the Defend the Vote Action Fund for my record of pushing back on election corruption.

Mere weeks after President Trump signed a bill placing sanctions on anyone who buys Russian energy products, he turns around and announces the U.S. will be purchasing diesel from Russia.

Last year, I took to the House floor to honor his pastoral anniversary, and now we remember his life and legacy as he was taken from us too soon. May his memory be kept alive through his powerful words and service to all.

Today is a time to celebrate Italian heritage and Italian-Americans across our country. Being of Italian descent, I am proud of the traditions and culture that I can uphold and pass on to future generations for years to come.

We recognize those Americans whose ancestors and cultures predate the Age of Exploration and still influence the American way of life. Today, we remember and appreciate the contributions that Indigenous Peoples have made for our country and will make for years to come.

While researching for the Food Access in Community Health Centers Act of 2026, I saw firsthand how Westchester Community Health Center and Feeding Westchester partner to ensure patients have food access.

The success of this program in Westchester showcases how every community across the country could benefit amid rising food insecurity. I am proud to highlight our local partners as we work to implement these programs nationwide.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This month and every month, I stand with survivors and will continue working towards a world free from violence, fear, and abuse. If you or someone you know needs help, free, confidential support is available at thehotline.org or by calling 800-799-SAFE.

This past Sunday, I had the privilege of joining the welcoming and vibrant congregation at Calvary Baptist Church for their Men’s Day Service. Gathering with your community in shared purpose was the perfect start to the week.

Following the President diverting $20 million in taxpayer dollars to spend on his own ads, strict oversight must be exercised to ensure other undisclosed spending ventures aren't being paid for by the American people.

Amid unprecedented cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, I am proud to introduce the Food Access in Community Health Centers Act. This legislation will fund partnerships between community health centers and emergency feeding operations to expand food access at health centers.

During this Hispanic Heritage month, I took to the House Floor to highlight some of the events and celebrations taking place to honor the vibrant Hispanic and Latino community we have in Westchester and the Bronx. To all celebrating, Que este mes esté lleno de alegría y tradición!

Serving 75 million people each year, @newyorkbloodcenter volunteers and leaders play a vital role in ensuring there is a blood supply for those in need. I was honored to recognize these individuals for their service to NYBC and their commitment to bringing communities together to help save lives.

It was a productive meeting capped off with receiving a display of commemorative 250th anniversary stamps to represent the celebrations of our country’s independence as we remain a partner in Kosovo’s fight for their own.

Freedom of the press prevailed in court today. This is a major victory for the First Amendment and every American demanding accountability from the White House. Delivered by a Trump-appointed judge, this decision proves that despite attempts to bypass the Constitution, no one is above the law.
