Summer nights are even better when our downtowns are filled with live music, great food, and neighbors coming together. It was a joy to join everyone in Downtown White Plains for another Rock the Block Wednesday.

Such incredible energy yesterday for Cait Conley. NY-17 is fired up and ready to bring new leadership that will deliver, and with Cait, NY-17 will have leadership that will never back down from a fight. Leadership that will unite instead of divide, and clean up corruption in Washington.

It was a pleasure to celebrate the 141st Anniversary of Bethel Baptist Church alongside its congregation and community. For 141 years, Bethel Baptist Church has been a place of worship, fellowship, and service, making a lasting difference in the lives of so many.

A powerful moment in White Plains as the community gathered for a Revolutionary 250 reenactment of the reading of the Declaration of Independence. Hearing those words read aloud was a reminder that Westchester played an important role in the founding of our nation.

Nothing beats spending time with people who care about their community. Thank you to the Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus – Mount Vernon Chapter and Diane Atkins for hosting another fantastic Annual Fish Fry.

One of the best parts of public service is recognizing the people who serve alongside us every day. It was wonderful to join CSEA Unit 9200 at Glen Island Park for Family Fun Day and celebrate the hardworking employees and families who make Westchester County stronger.

Another big win for Yonkers and Westchester County. I was proud to join Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Mike Spano to celebrate a $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative award that will help continue Yonkers’ remarkable transformation.

Westchester’s story is America’s story. It was an honor to unveil Westchester County’s Holt Broadside, a rare 18th-century edition of the Declaration of Independence that connects our community directly to the birth of our nation.

It was a pleasure to celebrate with Town of Mamaroneck Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney, Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Sharon Torres, and so many community members at the Mamaroneck Firefighters Parade and Carnival.

As we celebrate the United States of America’s 250th anniversary, we are reminded that our nation’s remarkable history did not happen by accident. It was built through courage, sacrifice, and an enduring commitment to the ideals of freedom and democracy.

One of the best parts of the Fourth of July is seeing our communities come together. I was glad to celebrate with Harrison Town Supervisor Tom Scappaticci and the Harrison community as we enjoyed another wonderful Independence Day tradition.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make the groundbreaking of 70 Westchester Avenue a reality. This exciting mixed-use development is another important investment in the future of White Plains and Westchester County.

It was a pleasure to join the American Irish Association of Westchester for its Annual Irish Heritage Day at Ridge Road Park. Westchester’s Irish community has made lasting contributions to our County, and it was wonderful to celebrate the history and culture that continue to bring people together.

Yesterday, I had the honor of joining Juneteenth celebrations in Mamaroneck, Cortlandt, Bedford and Pound Ridge, Pelham, New Rochelle, and Ardsley as communities across Westchester came together to commemorate this important day in our nation’s history.
