Yesterday, I was proud to attend the first steel beam signing ceremony for the future Ronald McDonald House Long Island in Stony Brook!

This project represents an incredible investment in our community and will provide a welcoming home away from home for families with children receiving medical care. By offering families a place to stay close to their loved ones during difficult times, Ronald McDonald House Long Island provides comfort, support, and peace of mind when it matters most.

Thank you to Matt Campo and the entire Ronald McDonald House Long Island team, along with Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine, our healthcare partners, and everyone whose dedication is making this project possible.

I look forward to seeing this facility come to life and the lasting difference it will make for families across Long Island.

I was happy to attend “A Taste of Italy” today at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge, celebrating Italian heritage and the many contributions Italian Americans have made to our nation over the past 250 years.

Hosted by Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine in partnership with the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America and the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Community Engagement, this event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Italian culture, traditions, and the lasting impact of the Italian American community on our country.

Thank you to everyone who helped organize this special event and continues to preserve and celebrate Italian American heritage!

Last night, I was proud to attend the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Matthew Frank Gravano of East Islip, celebrating his achievement of Scouting’s highest rank.

Matthew’s dedication and hard work are evident in his 27 merit badges, leadership roles with Troop 205, and community service project at the Town of Islip Gun Range. His commitment to helping younger Scouts and giving back to the community is commendable.

Congratulations to Matthew on this outstanding accomplishment! I also want to recognize his family, Scoutmaster Mark Businski, and everyone involved in supporting Matthew throughout his Scouting journey. I wish him continued success in all his future endeavors!

I recently had the honor of recognizing Brian Shea as the 2026 10th Legislative District Volunteer Firefighter of the Year!

It was a pleasure to join representatives from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island, based right here in Islandia, as they were honored for their outstanding work supporting children and families across our community.

It was a pleasure to attend the MacArthur Business Alliance’s Big Reveal at Long Island MacArthur Airport and learn more about the findings of the new Economic Impact Study.

The study highlights just how important the MacArthur Hub is to our region, supporting more than 80,000 jobs and nearly 6% of Long Island’s total economy. It also identifies important opportunities for continued growth, including infrastructure, transportation, sewer expansion and strategic development.

Congratulations to the MacArthur Business Alliance and everyone who helped make this important study possible!
