My statement on the third anniversary of October 7th:

10/07/2026

Housing solutions take teamwork. Hear from our partners at Cypress Hills LDC about what we’re doing together for Woodhaven homeowners and tenants. When government and community organizations join forces, families stay housed.

Today in Woodhaven, we brought housing help straight to the community. Homeowners fighting foreclosure, tenants facing eviction, seniors seeking subsidies, all getting real answers in my office. Government that shows up. Government that works.

Tomorrow, activists will rally outside City Hall under the slogan “glory to the martyrs, victory to the resistance, and what is coming is greater” to mark the October 7th terrorist attack, in which 1,200 people were murdered. Every innocent life lost since is a tragedy. Murdering civilians is not resistance.

The glorification of terrorism has gained a foothold in our country, and we cannot enable it. It must be abundantly clear that there is no place for it in our politics, or in civilized debate.

If we don’t speak up now, history will ask where we were.

The nor’easter blew away my office sign, and so many of you reached out with concern. Thank you. But I’m not leaving yet! Our brand new sign went up this weekend, and we’re still here, serving New York and our country for a lifetime more.

Storms knock down signs. They don’t knock down our mission. And we are just getting started.

I couldn’t put down McCullough’s 1776. George Washington lost nearly every battle. His troops had no shoes. Almost everyone thought the revolution was a lost cause.

But he never quit. Because of his persistence, America was born.

250 years later, what a story. What a reminder.

Right now! We are out in the rain at the annual Street Fair!

Rain or shine, shows up for Woodhaven. We are under the red tent on Jamaica Avenue, meeting neighbors, answering questions, and sharing resources from our office. Even our four-legged volunteer came dressed in his finest tuxedo for the occasion.

Days like this are the heart of serving the 38th District with neighbors coming together, small businesses on display, and a community that refuses to let a little weather slow it down.

Stop by the red tent and say hello to our team. We’re here all afternoon.

Tonight begins Simchat Torah, when Jewish communities finish the annual reading of the Torah and immediately begin again from the first verse. Three years ago, this day of dancing became a day of mourning. That joy returns to synagogues across New York tonight is itself a statement of resilience. I stand with our Jewish neighbors in celebration and in remembrance, and in the work of making sure every New Yorker can worship without fear.

The strength of New York has always been built in its neighborhoods, and few places tell that story like Neirs Tavern in Woodhaven.

Today we marked 197 years of this Woodhaven landmark, one of the oldest taverns in New York City and a living chronicle of Queens history. Its survival is a testament to Loycent Gordon, a trailblazing entrepreneur whose vision and perseverance preserved an institution for generations to come.

It was my privilege to honor some extraordinary individuals with New York State Assembly citations. Each embodies a profound commitment to our community and an unwavering dedication to their craft:
