Westchester showed up in a big way for the FIFA World Cup Final! Kensico Dam Plaza was filled with excitement as fans gathered to watch one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Congratulations to Spain on an incredible championship run and a well earned World Cup victory.
Summer nights are even better when our downtowns are filled with live music, great food, and neighbors coming together. It was a joy to join everyone in Downtown White Plains for another Rock the Block Wednesday.
It was a pleasure to celebrate the 141st Anniversary of Bethel Baptist Church alongside its congregation and community. For 141 years, Bethel Baptist Church has been a place of worship, fellowship, and service, making a lasting difference in the lives of so many.
One of the best parts of public service is recognizing the people who serve alongside us every day. It was wonderful to join CSEA Unit 9200 at Glen Island Park for Family Fun Day and celebrate the hardworking employees and families who make Westchester County stronger.
There is no greater investment than empowering the next generation. I was proud to attend the Sister to Sister STEAM Camp graduation and celebrate the accomplishments of these outstanding young women.
I was excited to join our partners in Mount Kisco to announce the first construction award through Westchester County’s Complete Streets Municipal Assistance Program.
Communities across Westchester are helping tell the story of America’s founding, and it was wonderful to join the North Castle community for its Revolutionary 250 Ceremony.
Westchester’s story is America’s story. It was an honor to unveil Westchester County’s Holt Broadside, a rare 18th-century edition of the Declaration of Independence that connects our community directly to the birth of our nation.
As we celebrate the United States of America’s 250th anniversary, we are reminded that our nation’s remarkable history did not happen by accident. It was built through courage, sacrifice, and an enduring commitment to the ideals of freedom and democracy.
One of the best parts of the Fourth of July is seeing our communities come together. I was glad to celebrate with Harrison Town Supervisor Tom Scappaticci and the Harrison community as we enjoyed another wonderful Independence Day tradition.
Congratulations to everyone who helped make the groundbreaking of 70 Westchester Avenue a reality. This exciting mixed-use development is another important investment in the future of White Plains and Westchester County.
A great evening supporting Town Supervisor Richard Becker alongside congressional candidate Cait Conley and the Cortlandt Democratic team.
Communities across Westchester are beginning to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, and I was proud to join the Town of Mount Pleasant for this special occasion.
One of the things I enjoy most is celebrating the many cultures that make Westchester County such a welcoming place.
It was a pleasure to join the American Irish Association of Westchester for its Annual Irish Heritage Day at Ridge Road Park. Westchester’s Irish community has made lasting contributions to our County, and it was wonderful to celebrate the history and culture that continue to bring people together.
I was pleased to attend AMWA’s Summer Interfaith Luncheon alongside our County Human Rights Commission Executive Director Tejash Sanchala and County Director of Faith Based Initiatives Kym McNair for a thoughtful discussion on Peace, Conflict, and Coexistence in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Congratulations to Mack Ables, Andrew Capenito, and Finn McGinley of Troop 12 in Pleasantville, and Lara Hansen of Troop 22 in Tarrytown on earning the rank of Eagle Scout.
Today is Primary Day. If you haven’t voted yet, there’s still time to make your voice heard. Remember, on Election Day you must vote at your assigned polling location.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, and father figures who lead with love and strength.
Early voting is coming to a close! If you’re a registered Democrat and haven’t cast your ballot yet, this weekend is your final opportunity to vote early before Primary Day on Tuesday, June 23.
Juneteenth marks a defining moment in our nation's history and serves as a powerful reminder that freedom delayed is freedom denied.
It was great to join New York State Senator Natalia Fernandez, New Rochelle Mayor Yadira Ramos-Herbert, and members of the New Rochelle City Council to celebrate the reopening of Casaroma in downtown New Rochelle.
I’m proud to stand with my friend and our New York State Comptroller, TomDiNapoli.
Happy Flag Day! Today, we celebrate the Stars and Stripes as a symbol of our nation’s history, resilience, and the freedoms that unite us as Americans. It also serves as a reminder of the countless men and women who have served and sacrificed to protect the values our flag represents.
Republicans are so desperate to hold onto power that they're now trying to rig the playing field by meddling in a Democratic primary. It's a cynical, dishonest tactic that shows just how afraid they are of facing a strong Democratic nominee in November.
Congratulations to Chris Genis of Troop 400 in Port Chester on earning the rank of Eagle Scout. It was an honor to attend Chris’s Eagle Court of Honor and celebrate this tremendous achievement.
Always a pleasure to celebrate the many cultures that make Westchester County such a wonderful place to call home. I was glad to attend Albanian Heritage Day at Kensico Dam Plaza and join in recognizing the history, traditions, and contributions of the Albanian community.
