Of all the titles I’ve had, my favorite will always be Dad and Papa.

Today, I’m grateful for the time spent with family and the many blessings that come with being a father and grandfather.

Wishing all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures a very Happy Father’s Day!

Honored to attend the Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES Career and Technical Education Signing Day and celebrate the next generation of skilled workers as they take the step into the workforce.

As a former journeyman machinist, I know firsthand the value of learning a trade and building a career with your own two hands. These students have chosen a path critical to our economy and communities.

Congratulations to all of this year's graduates. Your hard work has paid off, and I wish you nothing but success as you begin this exciting new chapter.

The American flag means something different to everyone, but for me, it’s a reminder of the freedoms we enjoy and the sacrifices made to protect them.

On Flag Day, we honor the generations of service members, veterans, and patriots who have proudly stood beneath the Stars and Stripes. May we never take for granted the blessings of living in the greatest country in the world. 🇺🇸

Thank you to the Seneca County Chamber of Commerce for hosting yesterday’s Legislative Luncheon.

It was a great opportunity to hear directly from local business leaders, discuss the challenges they are facing, and provide an update on this year’s state budget and legislative session.

I appreciate the thoughtful questions and the important work the chamber does to support economic growth and strengthen Seneca County.

National Dairy Month is a reminder of just how important agriculture is to our region.

From the family farms that have been passed down through generations to the next generation of farmers carrying on that tradition, dairy farming remains at the heart of upstate New York.

Thank you to the hardworking men and women who work long hours and help keep this way of life strong. 🐄🥛🇺🇸

Over the past six years serving in the New York State Assembly, Gloria and Darnella have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep not only my office, but the entire State Capitol, clean and welcoming.

As the 2026 legislative session came to a close, I wanted to recognize these two incredible women. Their hard work, dedication, and friendly smiles never went unnoticed.

Thank you both for everything you have done over the years. It has truly been appreciated.

Democrats are trying to kill the words "mother" and "father" in New York State law, replacing them with woke terms like "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent." This is exactly the kind of out-of-touch nonsense that frustrates hardworking New Yorkers. Mothers are mothers. Fathers are fathers. No amount of political correctness or woke language is going to change that.

A “putative father” in paternity proceedings would now be defined as “an alleged parent” under the bill.

Nothing says summer in the Finger Lakes quite like an ice cream cone!

While visiting Union Springs, I had to stop by Pete's Treats, a local favorite and a great small business. If you're in the area this summer, be sure to stop by and support them!

Today, I joined Congressman Mike Lawler and my Assembly Republican colleagues to oppose any last-minute attempts by Albany Democrats to redraw New York’s congressional maps once again.

New York already underwent a mid-decade redistricting process in 2024. Now, just two years later, Democrats are reportedly looking for another way to redraw the lines and bypass the Independent Redistricting Commission that voters approved to prevent partisan gerrymandering.

This isn't about fair representation, it's about power. New Yorkers deserve an independent process, not another attempt by one-party rule to manipulate district lines for political advantage.

I always enjoy meeting young people who are interested in learning more about how their government works.

Last week, I had the pleasure of hosting three outstanding high school students at the Capitol who shadowed me for the day. It was a great opportunity to give them a behind-the-scenes look at state government, discuss the issues impacting our communities, and share how the legislative process works. Thank you for visiting Albany and taking an active interest in public service.
