Thank you to the Kirkland Democratic Committee for hosting today’s Spring Meet-and-Greet at Kirkland Town Park.

I was grateful for the opportunity to attend, meet residents, and speak with neighbors about the issues that matter most to Central New York families — affordability, accountability, against data centers and making sure local communities have a stronger voice in Albany.

Events like this remind us how important it is to stay connected, listen, and work together for a better future for our towns, families, and communities.

Thank you again to everyone who helped organize this event and to all who came out to support local candidates.

Thank you, Town of New Hartford, for such a wonderful Memorial Day Parade and an incredible turnout.

It was great to see so many families, veterans, first responders, community groups, and neighbors come together to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Memorial Day is a reminder that freedom comes at a cost, and we are forever grateful to those who served and gave everything for our nation. Thank you to Congressman John W. Mannion for joining us for the parade.

I was proud to be part of today’s parade and to spend time with so many members of the community. Thank you to everyone who helped organize this meaningful event and to all who came out to show their support.

It was a profound honor to kick off Memorial Day weekend at the Oneida Memorial Day Ceremony and Parade yesterday.

There is nothing more important than coming together as a community to honor our fallen heroes and reflect on the sacrifices made to protect our freedoms. Standing with the residents of Oneida in remembrance was a powerful reminder of the strength and heart of the 122nd District.

From the moving ceremony to the parade through our streets, it was a privilege to connect with so many neighbors and share in this day of gratitude. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and to all who came out to pay their respects.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend as we continue to honor those who gave everything for our country.

Happy Vyshyvanka Day! 🇺🇦

Today, my family and I are proud to celebrate Vyshyvanka Day and honor the beauty, history, and resilience of Ukrainian culture.

The vyshyvanka is more than traditional clothing. It represents family, heritage, faith, freedom, and the strength passed down from one generation to the next.

As a Ukrainian American running for the New York State Assembly in the 122nd District, this day is personal to me. It reminds me of where my family comes from and the values that guide me every day: hard work, service, community, accountability, and hope for a better future.

I am proud to celebrate my Ukrainian heritage here in Central New York and to share these traditions with my family and community.

Слава Україні!
Happy Vyshyvanka Day! 🇺🇦

A special thank you as well to@ Michael Brown, Candidate for Oneida County Clerk, for showcasing your impressive restoration skills and remarkable attention to detail. That level of precision and dedication is certainly a valuable skill set for the role of Oneida County Clerk.

It was a fantastic evening in Oneida! We had the chance to sit down with the City of Oneida Democratic Committee to share our vision for the future of the 122nd District and give an update on our campaign’s progress.

The momentum is building every day as we talk to neighbors about the issues that matter most: making life more affordable for our families, creating better job opportunities, and ensuring our community gets the resources it deserves. Connecting with local leaders and hearing directly from the people who keep our district moving forward is what this campaign is all about.

We’re feeling more energized than ever to keep working for Central New York. Thank you to everyone in Oneida for the warm welcome and the great conversation!
