I’m excited and honored to work for the people New York as Director of State Operations. I’ve spent my career serving New Yorkers and I want to thank
@GovKathyHochul
for the opportunity to continue that service. Now, let’s go get things done.

The NYCHA Trust will literally change lives for generations to come. BILLIONS of- long overdue- additional, stable, dollars for NYCHA and empowerment of tenants to have a say over how that money is used in their homes.

NEW: I just signed legislation unlocking billions of dollars in additional federal funds for @NYCHA developments. This historic funding will ensure New Yorkers across the city are able to live with the safety and dignity they deserve — because housing is a basic human right.

New Yorkers deserve- and can have- nice things. We've been sold a bill of goods on Penn so many times we've lost faith anything meaningful will ever happen. Gov Hochul brings the vision and tenacity to get it done. Let's get to work.

The era of neglecting Penn Station commuters & the neighboring community is over. We're investing in a Penn Station worthy of New York — one that puts New Yorkers first, invests in our future, & helps us build a more sustainable, livable city. nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope

Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul will break the glass ceiling by becoming New York’s first female governor. A historic moment for our state and for all the women and girls who will see themselves represented at the highest level for the first time.

Eliminate the bureaucratic nonsense. There is nothing more progressive than making government actually work—for everyone.

New York should do the same. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is about moving the the cost burden from the individual consumer to the companies who create the waste in the first place. The State legislature must get this done.
