ICYMI: I sat down with Claudine Ewing at WGRZ to discuss my vision for a healthy, housed, & affordable Western New York. Since joining the race in October, our core belief has resonated across the 149th: the rich must pay their fair share, so our communities can thrive. www.wgrz.com/article/news...

I would make some "Campaign Day 1 vs. Day 100" joke, but the truth is just that WNY winters demand a beard!

It's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven by GY!BE, and I'm going an extra 48 just because I might not have each of the 87 minutes, 21 seconds memorized

I was honored to join Claudine Ewing on WGRZ today to speak about our campaign and highlight our goals for the district, and also statewide. One major correction I would make: Kevin and I STARTED this race in October; we are not only just joining in now.

The legend of Madame la Guillotine grows

Great walk off video @nynurses.bsky.social posted to other networks

I stand with the nurses!

3. HOURS. LEFT. 😤🏈 Help push our tushes over this fundraising goal line: bojakforassembly.com/donate

we can’t fire joe brady, but a change we CAN make? sending buffalo twitter/bsky real one @bojangles.bsky.social to the state assembly. i’ll stop doing bad, shoehorned segues if YOU 🫵 donate by 11:59 tonight

Hey friends, this is our campaign's first fundraising deadline, and we need YOU. Every single donation matters, so if you can spare even just $5, please chip in! (Reminder that in-district donations are matched by the state up to 12x!)

I hope the Bills win.

Good morning. Go Bills. I expect you to say it back

It's okay - when they win the Stanley Cup this year, he'll get a ring and we'll allow him to walk behind the team float in the parade

I've said it before, and I'll say it again until my throat is raw: "Abolish ICE" is now the compromise position. This MUST end with the present-day equivalent of the Nuremberg Trials - and, if we're historically honest, go even further than those did.

It's long past time for the rich to pay their fair share. We are fighting for universal programs, but if they are not funded properly, they will fail. If you support universal programs statewide and want to ensure I can fight for them in Albany, please donate today: www.bojakforassembly.com/donate

I said it when agents caused chaos in Elmwood Village, and I’ll say it again: abolishing ICE is the compromise position.

I find it very troubling that Wegman's and other retailers are using facial recognition and other biometric technology to collect data on its customers. I have directed my team to begin the process to pass a local law to prohibit such collecting of data and retaining it. Full statement:

When we fight, we win!

Congratulations to Buffalo School Board President Dr. Kathy Evans-Brown, and the new Vice Presidents, Janita Everhart and Adrianna Zullich - as well as the four new Board members: Stephon Wright, Talia Rodriguez, Erik Bohen, and Lewis Hawkins!

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

Said goodbye to an old friend yesterday. Sat closer than I ever have before (second picture: we know too much about professional athletes now!), and had the experience of a lifetime.

This feels like a culmination of several deep pathologies: congressional passivity, executive aggrandizement, national security exceptionalism, politics as theater, war as theater.

This attack on Venezuela/kidnapping of Maduro is insanely illegal, and offensive in every possible way. I am horrified that this was allowed to happen, and I DEMAND that the opposition in Congress steps up and does everything in its power to right this wrong and remove Donald Trump.

Our campaign will be a part of that transformative change: to ensure that Mayor Ryan has every resource necessary to dig Buffalo out of its current financial hole, and to help Mayor Mamdani pass his affordability agenda not only for NYCers, but ALL New Yorkers. Let's do this!

I was honored to attend yesterday's inauguration of Sean Ryan as the new Mayor of the City of Buffalo, while also watching from afar as Zohran Mamdani officially took his place as Mayor of NYC. Better things ARE possible in New York, and that all starts NOW.

Big year up ahead. Let’s win a better WNY together!

Hey friends, There is still time to help us hit our $11,000 by 1/1 fundraising goal! Support this people-powered movement by donating to our campaign here: bojakforassembly.com/donate

Every time I think I have heard every possible landlord story, something like this comes along and slaps me upside the head. Just endlessly (and NEEDLESSLY) frustrating.

"The Buffalo Sabres". More and more people are saying it these days

This campaign is the silliest and most important thing I've ever been a part of, and I'm so damn proud every day (and thankful my team puts up with me). Please give today and help us reach our goal (so that they don't hate me forever)!

IT’S THE FIRST INTERMISSION. you have time. you might have money. if you can, pls donate to @bojangles.bsky.social / @bojak4assembly.bsky.social — a guy who is so unbelievably loyal to the crest, you know he’ll be loyal to the needs of working-class western new yorkers bojakforassembly.com/donate

'Tis the season for giving... so how about a donation to our people-powered movement? Every single dollar matters, and we can't win this without you. Help us hit our goal! bojakforassembly.com/donate

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! In the spirit of the season: what is that special something you watch every year, as tradition? For me, it's "The Snowman," an animated short from my childhood. Beautifully drawn, heart-achingly scored (the piano from the title theme lives rent-free in my head).

NYSNA New York City private sector nurses announced that they voted overwhelming – 97% – to authorize a strike! Nurses don't want to strike but are willing to do whatever it takes to win fair contracts.

What would it cost to end extreme poverty? "We estimate that reducing the poverty rate to 1% ... would cost $170B nominal per year." "The results correspond to a cost of (approximately) ending extreme poverty of roughly 0.3% of global GDP."

This is the parity the NHL has desperately wanted, and I have to admit: the idea is 100% overrated. When everyone is "good", actually nobody is

Oh great. Now, in addition to "what is a catch," Gene Steratore gets to explain to us "what is a toe-tap"

I mean, I guess it's LITERALLY possible that he goes back on the field

Chip in now to help our people-powered movement!

Hey everyone, reminder that our campaign is holding a volunteer happy hour this evening at Mint! Come on out to get in some hangs before we all get way, way too busy for a couple weeks.

Come join us make a difference in WNY!

Happy Hanukkah 🕎 Though our hearts are heavy after the tragedy in Sydney, Australia, we send our solidarity and warm holiday wishes to all those celebrating the first night of Hanukkah this evening. May the holiday season renew our calls for peace across the world.

I think the answer to these questions boils down to one simple truth: every non-Donald Trump MAGA person of any significant stature knows they don't have nearly the same amount of juice. Why push out the king and be saddled with the burden of ruling, rather than propping him up to do your bidding?

Want to get involved with the campaign, but don't know where to start? Join us @ Mint Mojito Bar next Thursday for a volunteer happy hour! No donation required; RSVP at bit.ly/MINT149 to let us know you'll be there!

Check out the date on this meme I posted to Facebook. The more things change...

We had almost 20 (!) people go out and knock doors yesterday to talk to neighbors about the Bojak For Assembly campaign! Buffalo is truly the City of Good Neighbors, and people are excited to get this thing going.

All I want for Christmas is the current Buffalo Sabres, but with league-average goaltending and ST coaching

SATURDAY 12/6 at 10am: Join us at our canvass launch with endorsed candidate, @bojak4assembly.bsky.social RSVP for more info: actionnetwork.org/events/canva...

I'm no expert, but I feel like you should probably reach out to the player you claim off waivers ahead of time to confirm he won't refuse to play for you, costing you a decent depth DB in the process
