I was fortunate this week to visit my sister in Hawaii to participate in my nephew's Bar Mitzvah ceremony. Upon my return, I had the honor and pleasure to attend the NYS Association of Counties conference where I was able to interact with other county officials, attend sessions to learn about upcoming trends, ideas, and priorities, and together with a group of my colleagues, represent Westchester with Governor Hochul at her mansion. While I was on the road, New Rochelle hosted a beautiful Flag Raising Ceremony where the African American community and Jewish community came together to celebrate together in unity as the Israeli Flag was exchanged with the Pan-African flag closing Black History Month. In parallel, Eastchester kicked off its celebration of Irish American culture with its Grand Marshall Meet & Greet, where we all had an opportunity to meet and greet the Grand Marshal and other honorees of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day Parade. Together with the celebration of Carnevale just behind us, what a wonderful way to highlight diversity and culture in District 10!

In the meantime, below are some upcoming events in the district that I want to share with you.

Tuve la suerte esta semana de visitar a mi hermana en Hawái para participar en la ceremonia de Bar Mitzvah de mi sobrino. A mi regreso, tuve el honor y el placer de asistir a la conferencia de la Asociación de Condados del Estado de Nueva York, donde pude interactuar con otros funcionarios del condado, asistir a sesiones para conocer las tendencias, ideas y prioridades próximas, y junto con un grupo de colegas, representar a Westchester con la Gobernadora Hochul en su mansión. Mientras estaba en camino, New Rochelle organizó una hermosa Ceremonia de Izamiento de la Bandera donde la comunidad afroamericana y la comunidad judía se unieron para celebrar en unidad mientras la Bandera de Israel fue intercambiada con la bandera panafricana para cerrar el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana. Paralelamente, Eastchester comenzó su celebración de la cultura irlandesa estadounidense con su Encuentro con el Gran Mariscal, donde todos tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer al Gran Mariscal y a otros homenajeados del próximo Desfile del Día de San Patricio. ¡Junto con la celebración de Carnevale justo detrás de nosotros, qué maravillosa manera de resaltar la diversidad y la cultura en el Distrito 10!

Mientras tanto, a continuación se encuentran algunos eventos próximos en el distrito que quiero compartir con ustedes.

Atentamente,

District 10 Update: September 13, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  This week, I attended the NYSAC conference, where my colleague Ben Boykin was installed as president. One session, "Conflict to Conversation: Must Disagreement Be Disagreeable?" left a lasting impression on me. The speaker made a powerful point: "There is no freedom of speech without a concurrent need to listen." As a country, we pride ourselves on free expression, but true progress begins when we listen. If no one is listening, our words lose value, and we go unheard and unresolved. Upon returning, I was deeply moved by the story of a front-line survivor from the October 7 tragedy, whose experience of trying to save others while fearing for her own life reminded me in some ways of the countless stories of heroism from 9/11. As I then commemorated 9/11 in Eastchester, New Rochelle, and at the Kensico Dam, I realized that our younge...

District 10 Update: August 29, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  This past weekend, I brought my youngest son back to SUNY Stony Brook University to begin his sophomore year. Like many parents, I felt the bittersweet mix of love and pride as he left the nest to venture into adulthood. This year, however, I found myself reflecting on the end of his last semester. While our son was fortunate enough not to be significantly impacted by the small but loud protests that took place at his school, some parents were not so lucky, as college students from District 10, Westchester County, and around the world were harassed, intimidated, or blocked from accessing their dorms, classrooms, and other school buildings due to disruptive actions by protestors. I deeply cherish our Constitutional First Amendment and the rights it provides for people to peacefully assemble and protest. However, it is crucial that protesters behave lawfully and not assault others (including verbal assault directed at an individual), vandalize ...

District 10 Update: September 5, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  While on vacation, I watched friends and family share photos and stories as they proudly and excitedly sent their children off to their first day of school, only to be stirred and heartbroken by the tragic and horrible school shooting in Winder, Georgia. I closely followed the news about the rescue of Qaid Farhan Alkadi , an Israeli Bedouin, which brought a glimmer of relief and hope for all of the remaining Hamas hostages in Gaza. But that hope was quickly shattered by the recovery of six Jewish Israeli hostages , including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who served as an icon of hope in the darkness. The recent execution of these hostages by their Hamas captors is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by terrorism -- not only to Israel, but to peace around the world, and even here at home. I'm grateful to our County Executive and other local officials for honoring Hersh by ordering their flags be flown at hal...
