District 10 Update: May 30, 2024

Fortunately, Monday's Memorial Day rains did not cause flooding in District 10, but flood mitigation continues to be a top priority for me — it was even before I was elected. Solving flooding issues typically involves collaboration between different government agencies, especially when it crosses municipalities, and I am pleased that my office has been able to help facilitate.

New Rochelle has announced a series of upcoming constituent meetings to discuss their progress and plans. I'm eager to hear more from the City and encourage you to attend as well. You may be affected by what's happening in a neighboring district and might want to attend those meetings too. For example, some Eastchester residents along the Hutchinson River Basin will likely be impacted by proposed remediations in District 6 in New Rochelle.

If you're unsure which meetings to attend, please feel free to reach out to my office and my staff will be happy to assist!

Queridos amigos y vecinos,

Afortunadamente, las lluvias del Día de los Caídos del lunes no causaron inundaciones en el Distrito 10, pero la mitigación de inundaciones sigue siendo una de mis principales prioridades, incluso antes de ser elegido. La solución de los problemas de inundación generalmente implica la colaboración entre diferentes agencias gubernamentales, especialmente cuando cruza municipios, y me complace que mi oficina haya podido ayudar a facilitarlo.

New Rochelle ha anunciado una serie de próximas reuniones con los constituyentes para discutir su progreso y planes. Estoy ansioso por escuchar más de la Ciudad y los animo a asistir también. Es posible que se vean afectados por lo que está sucediendo en un distrito vecino y quieran asistir a esas reuniones también. Por ejemplo, algunos residentes de Eastchester a lo largo de la Cuenca del Río Hutchinson probablemente se verán afectados por las remediaciones propuestas en el Distrito 6 en New Rochelle.

Si no está seguro de a qué reuniones asistir, no dude en comunicarse con mi oficina y mi personal estará encantado de ayudarle

Por favor, consulte mi actualización semanal a continuación para más noticias y eventos

Atentamente,

District 10 Update: August 7, 2025

Please take a moment to submit your comments to the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) and ask them to reject Con Edison's proposed electric and gas rate increases. Share how these hikes would affect you and your family. Submit your comments using the links below: Electric rate case – Case 25-E-0072 Gas rate case – Case 25-G-0073 The Westchester County Board of Legislators continues to hear from residents about the impact of Con Edison's repeated and aggressive rate hikes. Last week, the Board held a public session in Rye Brook to hear directly from the community, and next week we will announce our next hearing in Mount Kisco. While we are committed to raising these concerns locally, the final decision rests with the PSC. So far, just over 6,000 comments have been submitted on the electric case and about 4,500 on the gas case. Most appear to come from New York City. Westche...

District 10 Update: June 26, 2025

Click here to view this email in your browser  Last week, I joined a prayer vigil against hate in New Rochelle. Even in a city as diverse as New Rochelle moments like this remind us how much listening, respect, and mutual understanding still matter. We do not need to agree on everything, but we do need to care about how our words and actions affect those around us. Different communities carry different lived experiences. As an example, some turn to law enforcement any time they feel uneasy. Others hesitate because of long histories of profiling, discrimination, or being treated as outsiders. Language matters too. Words and slogans can carry pain, even if not intended. "The South will rise again" is recognized as a symbol of white supremacy and racial terror. Simila...

District 10 Update: March 28, 2025

  Government should make people's lives better and easier, not create barriers when they need help. That's why the Social Security Administration's decision to reject Westchester County's offer of county-owned space for the Hearing Office in White Plains is so disappointing. With White Plains set to close and the Newburgh office already shut down, there will soon be no Social Security Hearing Offices left in the Hudson Valley. People who need to resolve important issues -- like disability claims or benefit appeals -- will have to travel long distances just to be heard. Westchester County offered a simple, local solution, but instead of working with us, the federal government chose to walk away. I started the week joining community leaders and advoc...
