    A bittersweet moment for me, as I announce the inclusion of a bill that means so much to NYers – Avonte’s Law— will finally receive a final passage vote by the House and Senate this week.

        I first introduced the bill in 2014, to honor Avonte Oquendo, a non-verbal boy with #autism, who bolted from his school in Queens. It felt like our whole city was looking for him, and we all mourned with his family when his body was found.

        As a result, I learned that bolting, elopement, & wandering are part of the everyday worries of caregivers & parents, and got to work looking for a way to provide voluntary GPS tracking devices to children or adults w/ developmental disorders, like Autism Spectrum Disorder.

        Just this month, we were again reminded of how critical Avonte's Law is after the heartbreaking disappearance of 14-year-old Trevyan Rowe in Rochester.

        Thanks to the work of Senator @klobucharoffice, “Kevin and Avonte’s Law” will become a reality & we’ll take a vital first step to ensuring lifesaving technology is available all across New York and the country.

        So, you've given up on DACA then?

        This is completely unrelated to DACA. Senators and lawmakers have multiple concerns to address, and talking about one of those doesn't mean he's given up on DACA.

        What about #DACA? Seems the #Dreamers will not have their day. Sad.

        That's a separate, unrelated issue. It's possible to support many causes/issues at once, and wanting to champion this doesn't mean abandonment of DACA.

        That line in the sand keeps moving. Dems need to take a stand!

        DACA's important, and Democrats do need to take a stand, but this string of tweets, which concern protecting children with cognitive difficulties, isn't the place to address it.

        The President should veto every bill you submit to him. What you are doing to the President is horrible and disrespectful!

        Why are you trying to get Americans to pay for a tunnel? If NY want a tunnel then you pay for it.

        1) if the tunnel is between states it's a federal issue, dude. anything going under the Hudson around NYC is a tunnel between New Jersey & New York, it's gotta be handled at the federal level 2) this is pretty tone-deaf to add to *this* string of tweets.
