Albany never stops inspiring. On Friday, September 26 at Lark Hall, we get to celebrate an incredible milestone, the album release party of Lulu Grey, just 10 years old, sharing the stage with Erin Harkes and HARK!

Last night’s meet and greet at Curry House was such a privilege. I want to thank our generous hosts, Councilman Zabed Manir, Ashif Mashud, Mohiddun Manik, and Jamal Chowdhury, for opening the doors and creating space for this conversation. #DorceyForMayor #NewPathForward

Wishing a sweet and joyful Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate. May this new year be filled with peace, health, and hope. Shana Tova!

What a joy to celebrate the release of Oh Brother! I’m a Big Brother at the book signing with Daley Publishing Co. Books like this matter. They give our kids the chance to see themselves in stories, and to feel the magic of reading. #DorceyForMayor #NewPathForward

Week after week, our incredible volunteers and supporters are out hitting the streets, and the energy is contagious. I’m grateful for this team and for the people of Albany who continue to share their hopes and vision for our future. #DorceyForMayor #NewPathForward

Last night’s September Splendor at the Washington Park Lake House is a beautiful example of how much Albany treasures its history and community. I am grateful to the Washington Park Conservancy for their dedication to our City! #DorceyForMayor #NewPathForward

I want to thank @peoplefor.bsky.social for standing with us. For believing, like I do, that protecting democracy starts on the ground, in our neighborhoods, in the way we serve, listen, and fight for one another. #DorceyForMayor #NewPathForward

Kicked off Sunday at the Ice Cream Social at Buckingham Lake, model kits, heron sightings & free ice cream! Then stopped by RISSE Albany’s Citizenship Day Celebration. Grateful to witness the strength of the community who make Albany better every day. #DorceyForMayor

It was a great turnout this past Saturday at Mt. Zion Baptist Church for the community block party hosted by Councilmember Rev. Jahmel Robinson. We had hotdogs, the Regional Food Bank gave out bags of groceries, and people from across the neighborhood came together to celebrate.

Today, we pause to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless families forever changed. We remember the first responders whose courage carried us through tragedy, and we reflect on the resilience that defines us as a nation. May this day remind us of our shared humanity.

Always on the grind…and this morning had a great meeting at Albany’s one and only The Daily Grind! You can’t go wrong with a pumpkin cappuccino and good conversation! Love me some Albany ❤️

Our ever-growing team is back out canvassing, and the energy is inspiring. Hearing directly from residents across Albany, from every party has been truly an honor. The positivity and hope we’re hearing fuels our fight to move Albany on a new path forward. #DorceyForMayor #NewPathForward

Today I stood in solidarity with fellow leaders and neighbors in Albany as a united community committed to rooting out hatred in all its forms. Strong neighborhoods are built on compassion and connection.

I had a great time at the Michael L. Burns Labor Day Celebration at Lanthier’s Grove. Grateful to the Capital District Area Labor Federation, the Labor Day Parade Committee, and the Greater Capital Region Building and Construction Trades for keeping this tradition alive.

On Labor Day, I honor the workers who keep Albany, and many other communities moving forward. From classrooms to construction sites, your dedication is the backbone of our city. I’ll keep fighting for fair wages, safe workplaces, and opportunities that strengthen our families.

Yesterday, I was elated to witness history in the making…the long-awaited demolition of the Central Warehouse. For decades, this building has been a symbol of blight and decline. Now, thanks to millions invested by Governor Kathy Hochul and the leadership of Daniel McCoy Albany County Executive.

I had a wonderful time with the Ida Yarbrough Tenant Association neighbors at their BBQ over the weekend. The strength of this community remind me of why investing in our neighborhoods is extremely important!

You’ve got to love the Palace Theatre Community Block Party! From live music and art to kids’ activities, food, and free backpacks for families, the energy on Clinton Ave and Pearl St was incredible. I want to thank Kevin Johnson, the Palace team and all of the partners who made this possible!

I was honored to attend the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists Region 1 Annual Conference. The theme, “Unbought, Unbossed, Unstoppable,” speaks to the resilience of our labor movement. Coming from a family of workers, I know unions give voice to the unheard & fight for fairness, equity & opportunity

Friday I stopped by the Free Back to School Bash at Metropolitan NTM Baptist Church. Kids got free backpacks & haircuts, families shared food & laughs, and neighbors connected to resources. Grateful to see our community come together. Thanks to Sweet Pilgrim MBC & MVP!

We had a great time at the Sheridan Hollow Neighborhood Night Out! Thank you to the organizers and all of the vendors and community members who helped to make it a success!

Today!

On top of the issues Albany residents are currently facing, from housing to public safety, we also have to be ready for what’s coming. Trump has his eyes on cities like Albany, and ICE is already here. We need a mayor who will stand up to his agenda and protect our people.

Albany, we’re in the home stretch! Every conversation counts. Whether you’re knocking on doors, making calls, or showing up at the polls, there’s a role for you in this movement. Click to volunteer here: www.mobilize.us/dorceyformay... #DorceyForMayor #NewPathForward

The time is now!

Thank you to the New York State Young Democrats for your endorsement. I’m honored to have your support as we work to build a stronger, more inclusive Albany. #DorceyForMayor #NewPathForward
