It was Halloweentown in the East Bronx! 🎃 I joined Assemblymember Karines Reyes for her 7th Annual Trunk or Treat in Castle Hill, followed by Assemblymember Benedetto’s Halloween Carnival in Throggs Neck. Great to see so many families out enjoying the festivities! 👻

Congratulations to Legacy Volleyball Club on 15 years of empowering young women in the East Bronx! 🏐 Youth sports build confidence, discipline, and community. That's why I was proud to support their efforts to repair their volleyball court and keep our young athletes playing.

Our seniors are libraries of wisdom, and there is so much we can learn from their experiences. ❤️ Today at Willow Towers in New Rochelle, we shared words of wisdom and encouragement through their Tree of Wisdom project, reflecting on the advice we would give our younger selves.

Friday I joined the BX Chamber of Commerce’s 2026 Legislative Summit! It’s a privilege to represent the BX in Albany, & hearing directly from our business community helps inform the work we do to strengthen our borough’s economy.

🚨 LEGISLATION UPDATE 🚨 Two of my bills were signed into law! ✍️ I’m proud to have sponsored legislation recognizing Little Yemen in the Bronx as a cultural district and establishing a school speed zone camera program in the Village of Pelham.

Last week, I joined the ribbon cutting at Stevenson Square in Soundview, celebrating 58 affordable co-op homes! 🏡 The development includes The Beatrice, senior housing honoring R.A.I.N. founder Beatrice Castiglia-Catullo, who built a lasting legacy of caring for our seniors.

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, let’s look back on the community leaders my colleagues and I celebrated last month at the Justice Sonia Sotomayor Community Center. A special shoutout to our honoree, Tito Perez! 💐

From our neighborhoods to our classrooms, being engaged is how we find solutions! I joined the Pelham Bay Taxpayers Civic Association for a neighborhood walkthrough & visited Pelham Memorial High School to meet with leadership about student safety, traffic concerns, & more

Happy Italian Heritage Month! 🇮🇹 The rich Italian culture woven into communities across District 34 is a testament to generations of heritage and contributions that continue to shape the Bronx and Westchester.

Our office will be closed Monday, October 12, in recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. We remember the Indigenous peoples who first called New York home, including the Lenape and Wappinger, whose histories and enduring legacies remain woven into the land we share today.

The #NatPack joined the Lincoln Park Conservancy as they welcomed the NYS Dept of Agriculture & Markets for a tour of their urban green spaces. Thank you to the Conservancy for the invitation and for their continued dedication to our community!

The reports out of Marble Hill are horrifying. A New Yorker was shot by ICE agents, reportedly in the presence of a young child. Our communities deserve safety, not fear.

A little #ThrowbackTuesday to last week when I joined Mayor Mamdani. I emphasized the need for additional support for the NYPD Harbor Unit, increased investment in our local NYCHA developments, and action to address persistent flooding concerns around Pelham Bay Park.
