It is tragic! As someone who lost a nephew to this crisis, I know the pain firsthand. Stop trying to use their deaths to score cheap political points. If you really care about the border, tell your GOP congressman who refused to vote for the bipartisan deal.

Some things in life can’t be quantified, and the amount of work, time and sacrifice that mothers devote to raise us is one of them.

Another is a mother’s love - and our love for them.

Happy Mother’s Day!

I’m impressed by the hard work and talent of the Depew Union Free School District Middle School students who submitted to the Freedom in America Essay and Poster contest. This is a beloved tradition in Depew schools, and these kids did a great job!

Thank you TeachAssocCheekSloan for all your do!

I had the pleasure of meeting with aarpny to discuss legislation I support to make prescription drugs more affordable and ease the burden on seniors.

Restorative justice practices in Cheektowaga-Sloan SD schools have
improved student behavior and created a positive culture.

I'm thrilled the funding I secured to launch this program has made a difference, and I thank the faculty who implemented it so successfully.

ICYMI - The Buffalo News Editorial Board supports legislation to provide paid leave for families who suffer a pregnancy loss.

I'm co-sponsoring and advocating for this legislation so that families have time to recover and grieve from this awful loss.

Thank you to Unite NY for highlighting my legislation to enact term limits on NY elected officials. Term limits are overwhelmingly popular, and nearly 3/4s of states have them in some form. It's time for New York State to follow suit.

Perfect! 🤣 #Maythe4thBeWithYou

Thank you to everyone who came out to New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation and NY State Parks I Love My Park Day cleanup at Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve. Their hard work helps preserve this beautiful space now and into the future. It was wonderful seeing how much the trees we planted last year have grown.

Inductees into the Lancaster Youth Bureau Hall of Fame have worked hard to serve our community, help others, and better themselves.

Last night, I had the pleasure of recognizing these 20 amazing kids and two awesome educators.

Congratulations, and thank you for all that you do!

This month, we recognize #AAPIHeritageMonth . Let's reaffirm our commitment to celebrating the rich history of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities across NY and standing up to AAPI hatred.

The state budget delivers billions for infrastructure and local governments. That means funding for paving, bridges, winter recovery, and clean water infrastructure.

I'll always fight for for state funding for programs that directly benefit residents in our community.

Excited to see the new Trocaire College veterinary sciences department take shape at the Trocaire Achievement Center. Today they held the topping off ceremony.

This space will provide a tremendous benefit to veterinary students, pet owners, and our furry friends! 🐶🐱

Happy Polonia Day! Today we recognize the Polish-American heritage that is such an important part of the culture of Western New York and our entire state. 🇵🇱🇺🇸

Thrilled to see the new Veterans Welcome Center Kiosk open in the Buffalo Airport today.

This resource will help inform veterans, service members, and their families of the benefits they have earned through their service and sacrifice.

As always, thank you to our brave veterans.

🏫Expanded college assistance
🚛Restored infrastructure $$ and more $$ for local govts
🏥Relief for insulin co-payments and medical debt
🚓Public safety measures

This police officer was just doing his job - very professionally. DA Doorley’s conduct was unethical and illegal. She needs to be removed from office.
