🎥 More sights & sounds from last weekend’s helmet fitting and distribution event that my office held with NYC DOT!

Celebrating the start of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the #Bronx !

Read our joint statement regarding the potential sale of the Joel E. Smillow Clubhouse at the Madison Square Boys & Girls Club. 🏡 Together with Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson, Ritchie Torres, Chantel Jackson, LMSW, and Rafael Salamanca, Jr, we are committed to safeguarding our community's future. 🌟 #thebronxsenator

🗓️ Please join us on Saturday, May 18th, as we honor #Bronxhero Albert “Al” Quiñones with a Park re-naming ceremony.

Immediately following will be a Salsa concert by #PuertoRicanPower , courtesy of Acacia Network!

👇Throwback to the announcement of allocations of $100 million and $40 million to the Hunts Point Produce Market as part of the Hunts Point Forward Plan.

🙏 Thank you Mayor Eric Adams for the consistent support you’ve shown to #Bronx food markets!

📢 Too-often City housing repairs are overlooked and put on the back-burner — enough is enough.

Every New Yorker deserves the right to safe living conditions. I call on NYCHA to immediately address the hazardous sidewalk conditions at Forest Houses.

✅Local Law 141 of 2023, sponsored by Rafael Salamanca, Jr., is now in effect.

It requires City employees who can issue summons to provide a pre-printed, handwritten, or electronic business card with identifying information upon request when interacting with members of the public.

💡Friday Spotlight: Last year’s newly-installed lights at the Julio Carballo Fields in action!

👉 My office continued investment in #Bronx NYC Parks w/an allocation of $1,986,000 for the installation of lights so our youth can enjoy outdoor recreational activities after sundown.

“We brought this to the attention of NYCHA, they are pointing the finger at NYC DOT - but you cannot ignore this safety issue.

It’s totally unacceptable.”
