For me, Juneteenth means three things: Celebration, mourning, and reflection. This is a day to celebrate freedom, when 2 ½ years after the Emancipation Proclamation, word of their freedom finally made its way to the people enslaved in Galveston. 1/3

Summit Has Pride!! 🏳️‍🌈

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave Happy Flag Day!

THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆 For the first time since 1973, the kings of basketball reside in New York City.

What a time to be alive. Knicks in five.

Bad weather but great conversation!

Welcomed @rebeccabennettforcongress.com to an amazing event in Summit! In a week filled with attacks from dark money GOP PACs and a fellow Dem candidate, Rebecca has maintained the kind of grace under pressure you’d expect from a Navy test pilot. Proud to be Team Rebecca as we head into June 2!

My time in EMS shaped my life and the people I served with are now my family. This EMS week should be a reminder that this amazing group of people will be there for anyone at anytime. Thanks to those who care for others in the most vulnerable moments. #emsweek

Nothing I love more than knocking on doors! Rebecca won the support of my neighbors. Remember to vote in the primary by June 2!

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Meg is out of town. So I’m on a date with myself. ✅steak 🥩 ✅ wine 🍷 ✅ @gothamfc.bsky.social ⚽️ #everyonewatcheswomenssports

Because Summit is a Type 1 school district, the Mayor holds enormous power and responsibility in appointing the Board of Education. Here are my thoughts on how appointments should be made.

Glad everyone at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is safe and thankful for the first responders. The shooting should be justification for stronger gun laws - not a ballroom.

Peter Kleinschmidt took many photos of me, other city officials, graduates, athletes, families, and all about town in Summit. I will always remember the way he screamed MEGAN! MEGAN! And how that made me smile the last time I sat for a portrait. This We will miss you, Peter.

It is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. We remember the 1.5 million Armenians lost and honor the survivors. We need to elect leaders who respect the truth, are not afraid to use the word genocide, and are committed to education about the Armenian Genocide to prevent other atrocities.

My workout buddy George and I finished the Summit Y mini-triathlon this morning! It was a 10 min swim, 30 min bike, and 20 min run. And it was a lot more fun than I expected!

Celebrate Earth Day every day! 🌎 🌳

Daffodil date with my lady!! 50,000 daffodils in the bowl at the Arboretum! And in the 11 years we’ve been together this is the first time Megan and I visited and saw the daffodils together! Gorgeous.

Proud to support my friend Mayor Quinton Law for re-election! He is delivering results for the town he loves and inspiring other young people that leadership is about service. Keep up the great work!

BTS at the Community Food Bank of NJ this morning when the TV news crew captured the end of the 24 hour pack-a-thon. So weird that @megan.vartan kept going missing when Rooty the mascot showed up! I hope they’ll meet eventually!

A great Friday night “under the stars” celebrating 10 years of GRACE in Summit!

Happy 36th anniversary to my parents!

This is a threat to commit genocide. Remove him with the 25th amendment RIGHT NOW.

This is insane. Tom Kean Jr. and every Republican elected official who won’t do anything about this are complicit.

Happy Easter from Aunt Meg, Uncle Greg, and Ella!! 🐰 🐣

Good!

To my trans friends, I see you. I celebrate your bravery and strength. And I will fight alongside you for the safety and respect you deserve. 🏳️‍⚧️

No Kings Follow-up: 3 thoughts for marchers 1) Talk to family, friends, and neighbors. Millions attended rallies this weekend around the country. Millions more are angry, disappointed, or scared to speak out. It’s our job to speak to those in our circles and keep this movement growing.

NO KINGS.

You know what’s also a local issue: VOTING! Ask your local elected officials whether they agree with the hypocrite in the Oval Office on this.

This weekend the President of the United States celebrated the death of a dedicated public servant and said the Democratic Party is the enemy of America. 1/2

We’re in the house for the @gothamfc.bsky.social home opener! Return of the champions! #everyonewatcheswomenssports

It’s Women’s History Month. I am so proud to be represented by these amazing women on Summit Council!

War with Iran is illegal and dangerous. Thinking about the members of the US armed forces put in harm’s way. Congress must uphold the Constitution.

This bill is meaningless. Either Kean supports the construction of the concentration camp in the district or he’s too scared to stand up to Noem and Trump. Either way he’s gotta go. #flipNJ7

Good there’s still some checks and balances. However it’s little comfort to the average family that spent $1,000 more last year because of the tariffs.

“We must never surrender. America will get better and better. Keep hope alive. Keep hope alive. Keep hope alive.” -Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rest in power.

Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!! 😍

Congratulations @analiliafornj.bsky.social ! Time for the party to unite behind you!

Racism from the President of the United States emboldens racism across the country. Republican Mayors and Councilmembers must denounce it for the safety of their constituents.

Attended a candlelight vigil for justice and peace last night. One of the songs was “Beautiful City” and these lyrics stuck with me today When your trust is all but shattered When your faith is all but killed You can give up bitter and battered Or you can slowly start to build

Dr. Oz’s comments about the #Armenian community in CA are disgusting and unacceptable. This genocide denying snake-oil salesman proves that every accusation from this administration is really an admission. Fight fraud by looking in the mirror.
