This evening, I was sworn in as a school board member.

I'm deeply grateful for the community support, and thrilled to work with this diligent group on behalf of Albany's kids.

And big congratulations to our new president, Tabetha Wilson, vice-president Sridar Chittur, and secretary Hassan Elminyawi! 🙏🏿

Happy Juneteenth everyone! Here is a short video I produced years ago on the meaning of Juneteenth, freedom day.

Polls open 7am-9pm Tuesday, May 19. Time to vote! 🙌🏿

✅ Tomorrow, voters will head to the polls to approve school budgets, school boards, and, in Albany, library trustees and the library's budget!

I wanted to share a brief note as to why I’m supporting Serena White-Lake for Albany School Board and Kayli McTague for Albany Library Board Trustee in tomorrow’s election:

Serena White-Lake is an attorney, adjunct professor, and longtime community servant with an extensive legal and service background focused on improving outcomes for underserved youth. Serena is deeply committed to Albany’s children and to working to provide them with an excellent education and endless opportunities.

Kayli McTague is my Chief of Staff, a proud K-12 graduate of Albany Schools, and a government and political professional with extensive experience in Library & Education policy and funding. Kayli has a demonstrated track record of working to improve equity and opportunities for underrepresented New Yorkers, and she’s all in on the strength and sustainability of Albany and our libraries.

Both of these women are more than deserving of your vote tomorrow. Polls are open in Albany from 7am to 9pm, make sure to make a plan to vote!

Congratulations to the Class of 2026 at Albany Law School's 175th Commencement! It was a pleasure to celebrate with the graduates, and encourage some of my students who will now launch into preparing for the bar exam.
Cheers once again! 🙌🏿🌠
