Yonkers mourns the death of the 85-year-old resident who passed away as a result of yesterday’s devastating fire. Let us stand in solidarity with prayers for her son and the other tenants, and thank YFD for their swift action in getting the fire under control.

I think the Governor is spot on when it comes to New York State’s need for more affordable housing. This is an aggressive proposal and I’m looking forward to working with the Governor on this.

We will build the housing we need for our communities to thrive, for our economy to grow, and for our state to prosper. Housing is a human right. The New York Housing Compact is how we protect that right.

I applaud the Governor’s initiative to attack violent crime including a comprehensive look at our bail reform laws. I look forward to collaborating with her to reduce gun violence across the state and in our local communities.

My number one priority is keeping New Yorkers safe. While our historic investments in combating violent crime are beginning to work — we have more to do. That’s why we are doubling down on proven strategies to prevent crime & save lives.

We need to remove the stigma associated with mental health and help each other — our neighbors — our communities. With the Governor’s help, I support more mental health resources in urban areas across New York State including our great City of Yonkers.

I look forward to continuing to work with Governor Hochul to champion the progress that impacts our communities for generations to come.

Today's inauguration is nothing short of historic. Building on the foundation planted by suffragists in Seneca Falls, we celebrate New York's first elected female governor, in Kathy Hochul.

A new year is a fresh start -- a new chapter waiting to be written. Let's welcome 2023 with renewed hope and joy. Have a safe, healthy, and happy New Year!

May his eternal journey be accompanied by the prayers of our great City and may his spirit be at peace.

We all gathered together as Catholic faithful and witnessed His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI when he visited Yonkers in April 2008. It was spiritually uplifting. People were left inspired and filled with grace.

Snow-inundated Buffalo faces more challenges in the aftermath of storm that left 31 dead in area |...

Days into the deadly winter storm that bedeviled much of the country, the challenges are far from over for residents and authorities in Buffalo, New York.

I want to extend our prayers and assistance to my friend and colleague Mayor Byron Brown. Yonkers is here for you. If you need us, we will answer the call.

The City of Yonkers stands with the City of Buffalo. We are thinking of our friends and neighbors in upstate New York dealing with the devastating impact of this winter storm.

Along with new Chief Administrative Judge, Hon. Edwina G. Richardson-Mendelson, the NYS Court of Appeals will fight to increase access to justice for all New Yorkers. Congrats!

As families across Yonkers observe and celebrate Hanukkah’s traditions, let us also reflect upon the spirit of hope. Happy Hanukkah, may this festival bring joy and happiness to you and your loved ones!

She was a member of our African American Advisory Board, but more importantly, Gail was a friend. She will be will be missed. It is our responsibility to continue her legacy for our children and for future generations here in Yonkers.

The City has lost a tireless advocate for our children. Gail Baxter, a retired teacher from Yonkers Public Schools, was always fighting for the disenfranchised and a leader for change.

10 years ago on this day, 26 Sandy Hook Elementary School students and teachers were killed on account of a 20-year old with a semi-automatic rifle. Let’s continue to focus on ending gun violence and keeping our students’ mental health in check.

We promoted 10 of our finest fire officers in the City of Yonkers last week: 2 chiefs, 4 captains and 4 lieutenants. The Yonkers Fire Department is the best in the country, and I know each promotee will wear their new badge with great pride and integrity.

May God protect Frank on his final journey and watch over wife, Lisa and children Emily and Mark. Rest easy, Frank. You are Yonkers Strong.

Yonkers is a close tight-knit community and when we lose one member of our law enforcement community, we all feel a sense of grief. Frank is someone we all knew and loved. He was a friend and a family man -- the best of all us and the best of Yonkers.

Our hearts are heavy as the City of Yonkers has experienced an insurmountable loss. Sgt. Frank Gualdino was a cop’s cop and the epitome of Yonkers Finest.
