Proud to represent the Legislature on the @CCEMonroe Board of Directors at their annual meeting! Experiencing interactive ag education firsthand (like testing the calf delivery simulator) is a great reminder of CCE Monroe's impact across Monroe County.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Legislator Town Hall where we covered important County updates directly impacting Irondequoit. We talked Thomas Ave trees, investing in food waste diversion and EV stations, pedestrian safety, the zoo, & protecting our most vulnerable neighbors.

When government entities work together, our families win! I was glad to be on hand to celebrate a new accessible playground at Town Hall's backyard made possible with funds from NY State. Modern and accessible play spaces directly enhances the quality of life in Irondequoit.

Talking policy, community, and public service with @WestIrondequoit high schoolers. These future leaders offered thoughtful questions about my journey and Monroe County government. Thank you for having me!

It was a beautiful afternoon volunteering at registration for the @HelmerNature_WI Fall Festival! As an outdoor classroom for @WestIrondequoit schools, Helmer’s 45 acres depend on community support to help power local environmental education. Thanks to everyone who came out!

We paid our respects at the Civic Center Plaza memorial for the @monroesheriffny Wreath Laying Ceremony, honoring the brave deputies who made the ultimate sacrifice. We will never forget.

I joined neighbors on an excellent tour of the VanLare Water Resource Recovery Facility! Thanks to Director Mike Garland and Monroe County DES for showing how this county facility treats millions of gallons daily to protect our community and environment.

Thanks to my fellow @IronRotary members for the invitation to discuss Monroe County government, community initiatives, and the work I do as a Legislator representing Irondequoit. Grateful for a group so dedicated to service above self.

Joined first responders and local leaders at Gary Beikirch Memorial Park for the dedication of the new 9/11 First Responders Memorial. This powerful tribute honors the heroes who ran toward danger and all families forever altered. Monroe County will never forget.

Thanks to all the neighbors that stopped by to chat with me and Legislature President Roman at the Irondequoit Farmers Market about how the County Legislature works for you!

Cultivating crops and careers! It was great visiting Cornell Cooperative Extension- Monroe County to see the GROWS program in action. They’re not just growing fresh produce, they’re empowering participants with hands-on urban agriculture, job readiness, and real workforce skills.

Strong partnerships build safer communities. Had a blast with Irondequoit Rotary at National Night Out. Thank you to @irondequoit_ny, @IrondequoitPD, first responders, and local orgs for bringing Irondequoit together!

Great turnout at the first Countywide Active Transportation Implementation Plan (CATIP) open house! Lots of ideas on how we can make our roads safer, more accessible, and better connected. You can still provide your input by taking the online survey at publicinput.com/mcatip

It was a privilege to march alongside fellow local leaders and my family in our Independence Day parade. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us, and to @irondequoit_ny for hosting such an incredible celebration (and letting me pitch in as a sponsor!).

Traded the suit and tie for a hat and sunglasses as I laced up my sneakers again for the E.R.A.S.E. Irondequoit Juneteenth 5K. It was great seeing our community come together to celebrate - thank you to the organizers and everyone who turned out!

Proud to join Legislature colleagues in presenting a proclamation honoring the Monroe County Water Authority on their 75th anniversary. Thank you to the team at MCWA, past and present, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to protect our public health, environment, and economy.

I was impressed by the @WestIrondequoit seniors presenting their Seal of Civic Readiness capstone projects. They aren’t just learning about democracy, they’re practicing it. Proud of these future leaders!

Spent a beautiful afternoon volunteering at the CCE-Monroe Master Gardener Expo! It was great connecting with neighbors and helping out at their biggest annual fundraiser. Events like this are what make our community thrive! @ccecornell

Ms. Gottfried’s Crew at Iroquois Middle School pitched a thoughtful plan to me and @CountyExecBello that reduces trash polluting our local beaches, highlighting how young citizen advocacy and government cooperation can drive action. @WestIrondequoit

From the parade route to the memorial service, it was a privilege to spend Memorial Day weekend with my Irondequoit neighbors. Today and every day, we honor our fallen heroes. 🇺🇸
