Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting Wilson Elementary School to recognize three outstanding educators who are retiring after decades of dedicated service to our students and community.

Nominated by Principal Wilkie, these remarkable teachers have made a lasting impact on countless young lives through their commitment, compassion, and passion for education. It was an honor to present each of them with a New York State Assembly Citation in recognition of their careers and contributions.

Congratulations to Pam, Jen and Kim on your retirement, and best wishes in this exciting new chapter!

It was an honor to serve as the keynote speaker at this year’s Pendleton Memorial Day Ceremony.

Memorial Day is a time to pause and reflect on the tremendous sacrifices made by the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their courage and dedication are the reason we are able to enjoy the freedoms we hold dear today.

Thank you to the Town of Pendleton and everyone who helped organize such a meaningful and respectful ceremony. It is always a privilege to stand alongside our community in remembering and honoring our fallen heroes.

Recently, I had the honor of joining my colleagues at the Niagara Orleans Labor Council Workers’ Memorial Day Ceremony.

This important annual observance is a time to remember and honor the workers who have lost their lives on the job, and to reaffirm our commitment to improving workplace safety for all who go to work each day.

Thank you to the Niagara-Orleans Labor Council and the UAW Local 686 Veterans Committee for organizing the ceremony and for raising the flags in remembrance of those we have lost. Their efforts ensure that these workers are never forgotten.

I had the opportunity to stop by Howell Motor Ford to visit Mike Landers and drop off New York State Assembly citations for presentation at his annual Hockey Hall of Fame event.

Mike continues to do an outstanding job bringing together athletes, families, and community members to celebrate the game of hockey and recognize those who have made lasting contributions both on and off the ice. Events like this highlight the strong tradition of hockey in our region and the people who help keep that tradition alive.

Thank you to Mike for his continued efforts in organizing such a meaningful event each year.

On Saturday evening, I had the privilege of joining Senator Ortt to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the Friends of the NRA Banquet.

Thank you to the organizers, it was great to see so many members of our community come together, connect with one another, and celebrate our shared appreciation for our nation's freedoms and traditions.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. While we are forever grateful to all of our fallen heroes, having the opportunity to honor my friend Andrew Byers is especially meaningful to me. Andrew and I went to school together, and remembering his life, service, and sacrifice is a powerful reminder of the true meaning of this day. May we never forget Andrew and all those who gave everything for our country.

Today, we were proud to officially dedicate a portion of Sheridan Drive in honor of Major Andrew Byers — a true American hero whose legacy of service, courage, and humility will never be forgotten.

Having gone to school with Andrew, I remember the kind of person he was long before he became a decorated officer and hero: someone grounded in integrity, humility, and an unwavering sense of duty. Major Byers represented the very best of Clarence and of our country, and as a father myself, I can only imagine both the pride his family felt in his service and the profound loss they continue to carry every day.

By dedicating this stretch of highway in his name, we are ensuring that Andrew’s legacy lives on for generations to come. Every person who passes this memorial will be reminded not only of his sacrifice, but of the values he embodied and the deep gratitude our community will always have for him.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today to honor Major Byers and his extraordinary life of service.

Here's a wild idea....before we go ahead and mandate the electrification of homes, car and school busses, maybe we upgrade our grid capacity so we're not all sitting in the dark!

Its always great to have students and young leaders from the district visit in Albany. The Niagara County 4-H Program is a tremendous opportunity and program for students of all ages to get involved in the community and to learn about agriculture and farming. I'm so proud to be a strong supporter of this organization and look forward to continuing to advocate for and support educational opportunities for agriculture in New York state.
