Aside from illegal practices, #NY law permits minors to enter shops selling cannabis. Most state laws do not. NY law also permits #cannabis shops to sell candy, drawing in children @karahahn @fred_thiele @nys_cannabis @ABC7NY nytimes.com/2023/02/24/nyreg…

The rollout of legal marijuana in New York has been a slow and laborious process. The corner stores aren’t waiting.

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute findings from our work on US cannabis policy & adolescent health at public hearing today on IR-1417, introduced by @karahahn. If passed, it will be the first county law in the US to regulate cannabis packaging that appeals to children.

Today, I am suspending my campaign for NY-01. This was not an easy decision, but I’m confident it’s the right one. Democratic unity is the most important thing we can bring to the fight to flip NY-01 this year, which is why I will support my colleague Bridget Fleming.

While I’m stepping aside today as a candidate, I will not stay on the sidelines in this election. With the future of our democracy, fundamental rights, and the environment at stake, we have a critical mission. I hope all my supporters will stay in this fight.

It’s as heartbreaking as it is maddening to see this kind of senseless, hate-fueled violence take the lives of innocent New Yorkers who were simply getting their groceries or doing their jobs. My heart goes out to their families and the city of Buffalo.

We must do more to address the rise of white supremicist domestic terrorism that is at the root of this tragedy and others. Our leaders must find the courage to act boldly to end this gun violence and hatred in our communities.

I’m proud to receive the Gun Sense Candidate distinction from @momsdemand. In Congress, I will advocate for universal background checks, banning bump-stocks and assault rifles, and closing loopholes that allow guns to fall into the wrong hands. #NY01

In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, I had to do something. So as a 1st year legislator, I authored & passed a red flag law in Suffolk County to keep guns out of dangerous hands. There's a lot more work to do, but #NY01 can count on my commitment to lifesaving gun safety laws.
