The Community Benefit Agreement we negotiated with @BuffaloBills and NYS contains very strong oversight, MWBE and living wage provisions and the largest NFL team financial commitment ever: more than $100 million.
It wasn't easy to get it but we did. 1/2

We are very sorry to share the news that Linda Berman, one of founding members, passed away recently after a long illness. We offer our deepest sympathies to her son, our friend and fellow member David Berman. May she rest in peace.
Fascists never admit defeat. Rather than admit defeat and promote democracy they would destroy our system.

Many of the candidates who promoted former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election lies were defeated in November but the efforts to cast doubts about the management and operation of the 2022 election are still festering in Arizona cnn.it/3gHMOkC

As a reminder to those wondering why Nevada and Arizona are still counting ballots, almost every state, NY included, are still counting mail-in/absentee ballots. It's not uncommon for those behind on E-Day night to win once all ballots are counted. It's not fraud, it's democracy.

Again and again, Lee Zeldin has failed to support working New Yorkers:
Lower drug costs? Zeldin voted no.
Good-paying jobs? Zeldin voted no.
Money to fix our roads and bridges? Zeldin voted no.
Fighting inflation? Zeldin voted no.
I refuse to let him drag us backward.

Lee Zeldin would repeal our commonsense gun laws, wants abortion outlawed without exceptions, and voted to overturn the 2020 election.
I know that’s not what we stand for — if you do too, make your voice heard and vote by November 8th.

Governor is one of us. Her family initially lived in a trailer in the 2nd Ward of Lackawanna before moving to Hamburg. She knows our community - the neighborhoods and people - because she has lived the same life we have. She is OUR governor.

We stand with Sean Ryan and his deserved endorsement by the Buffalo News.
Quote Tweet
"Ryan voted in support of gun restrictions after the May 14 shooting at Tops. Rath opposed them."
A stark difference. While Ed Rath voted to help criminals easily access guns, I've worked to strengthen gun safety laws to prevent more tragedy in our state.

The Albany and the are correct: In the race for governor, is the right person to lead NYS.
Furthermore, the NYTimes said it best in noting her opponent is "unfit for the office" for his beliefs and actions that are harming our democracy.

Everyone knows when you put your car in "R" you go in reverse and when you put it in "D" you go forward. That's why Democrats in Erie County are fired up and hitting the streets this morning to go forward with our great "D" ticket on Row A, led by our Governor !

"Parks, playgrounds, libraries and many other of the “extras” that make a community worth living in got special attention in Erie County’s 2023 budget, and that’s a good thing. That it happened in conjunction with a lower tax rate is even better."
Great job, CE !

Investing in the 'People's Mandates' - libraries, parks, arts and cultural institutions - has always been a key component of the budgets we propose, and I thank @TheBuffaloNews for recognizing their importance in our 2023 budget proposal.
