I vote every primary and election no matter what. Not voting is one of the corniest things a person can do, especially as black man.
We fought too hard for the right to vote to just turn around an not vote.
Things are official when the nameplate and committee assignments are on the wall. I'm grateful to
@CarlHeastie
for entrusting me to sit on 5 impactful committees that will have a direct impact on my community.
My political aunties gave me the biggest hugs to congratulate me on becoming an Assembly Member. They were beaming with pride and it was the best feeling to see their smiles.
A huge thank you to my Highbridge Seniors for attending the
#Somos
conference as my guests. They were amazing and delight to have in Albany. They were dancing and enjoying the food and workshops.
I want to thank
@LuisSepulvedaNY
for knocking doors with me and introducing me to key stakeholders in the community. He was essential in the success of this campaign.
I was in session and hearings all day but I am hearing my beloved Jets signed Williams!!!!
This makes the draft very interesting for the Jets. They really can afford to trade back and gain draft capital to fill other needs and spots.
When you need a sign you are doing the right thing and you meet a voter and supporter that has the same name as your grandmother. It was my Grandmother letting me know she is proud of me and watching me from above. Ms. Mamie gave me a big hug as tears welled in my eyes.
🎉 Big change from
@USDOT
:
If your flight gets delayed or canceled, airlines now have to refund you automatically in CASH.
Refunds cover:
- Delayed flights (3+hrs domestic, 6+ hrs int’l)
- Airport changes
- Added connections
- Service class downgrade
- Accessibility changes
Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.
Thank you to

As elected officials, our job is to be a bridge for all races and ethnicities. As a dad of two Afro-Latino boys, I am deeply committed to uniting our diverse communities. We must reject divisive rhetoric and work together for a brighter, better New York.

“We will take our seat back” AM Inez Dickens said about Rep. Adriano Espaillat’s

“to become a Black seat.” He is Dominican, but it “was carved out to be represented by a Black. Not a person of color. But a Black.”
New chapter in the ongoing Espaillat-Wright Harlem rivalry.
A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit west of Manhattan and has been felt throughout New York.
My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day.

I want to say thank you to all the board of election workers and poll workers that worked today’s Special Elections. Y’all braved the bad weather to ensure our election process ran smoothly. Thank You.
@GaleBrewerNYC
gave me the biggest hug congratulating me on being sworn in to the NYS Assembly. She has known me for over 20 years and she was beaming with pride. Gale is one of the best to ever serve NY!
Victory for Staten Island nurses & patients! Nurses reached a tentative agreement with SIUH/Northwell, averting a strike! The agreement improves safe staffing and nurses' wages, so more nurses can stay in Staten Island caring for their community. When we fight, we win!
@JoeBriggsEsq
I can’t believe this happened.
The company that owns that ship is DONE. Prayers to anyone on the bridge, Im hoping because it occurred at 2am there was fewer drivers on the bridge.
The cross walks at my polling site were clogged with wet heavy snow. I cleared them out so seniors in my district like Ms. Johnson wouldn’t have any issues getting to her polling site. She was excited to meet me in person!
Last week we held our launch event, NYC Her Future Begins. We want to give a special shoutout to the speakers that made last week so successful. This includes Assemblymember Landon Dais, Council member Farah Louis, Dr. Jawana Johnson, & more!

@NEWStrongWomen
Thank you for having me as a guest and allowing me to speak on the importance of training women for good paying union jobs in the construction industry.
Today was a busy day. Thank you to my
#Morehouse
Brothers for supporting tonight’s virtual campaign fundraiser. It was awesome celebrating with friends from our freshman year supporting my efforts. Tonight was just awesome.
I want the Jets to go all offense in the draft! However there is a deep FS market in free agency and I’d love the Jets to solidify the safety position on the defense. A ball hawking safety brings this defense to another level.
May I please get 2 followers to copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening 💯

Ironically I live right by Norman. Norman is a good guy that cares about his community and has raised three children who have all earned sport scholarships to college.
I will be working with Norman as he represents a large building in the district, and more importantly he cares

The amazing Hon. Ruth Thompson gave me the biggest hug today at the New York State Museum. It was the first time she saw me since being sworn into the NYS Assembly. She was beaming with pride while looking at my Assembly pin.

The Bronx has the real Little Italy. I didn’t even have time to take a picture of the tiramisu or the cannoli donuts because we devoured them all.
Check out San Gennaro on Arthur Ave. They have great Italian food.
