"This year alone, I passed over 30 bills. It's hard to choose just one - whether it's S5320 expanding tuition assistance for students experiencing homelessness, S3121 protecting tenants from unfair rent fees, or S2126 uplifting underrepresented educators. With the Ignazio Giacalone Act, S1165A, we honor families of sanitation workers lost after 9/11. And with S8181, we protect first responders' health and dignity. Each bill reflects equity, fairness, and sacrifice - together, building a stronger, more just New York."
"I fight for equity in every arena - securing $26 billion in school aid, banning hidden rent fees, expanding housing access, and extending TAP to homeless students. As chair of Civil Service & Pensions, I champion workers' rights. Beyond Albany, I help tenants organize, cut through red tape, and press agencies to deliver. My work is rooted in one belief: government must not just promise justice - it must practice it."
