Just finished joining the David Bellavia show on WBEN NewsRadio with special guest host Joe Beamer to talk about all sorts of matters, from ErieNet to my plans for the future and much more. Thanks for having me on Joe!

The level of corruption coming from Trump and his cronies is staggering. The defending of it by average Americans is downright baffling. Too many of our fellow citizens think this is normal. No, it is not. 99.999% of public servants serve honorably. Trump and his crew are the anomaly... 1/2

I'm sure our Founding Fathers would be very proud to know our president celebrated the 250th birthday of our nation with - (checks notes) - a cage fight on the White House's lawn. Someday in the future people will look back and shake their heads asking "what the heck happened to the US back then?"

On behalf of myself and our @eriecounty.bsky.social team, I wish all a blessed Eid al-Adha to all celebrating in Erie County, throughout WNY, and elsewhere. #EidAdhaMubarak #EidMubarak

Donald Trump has billions for his golden ballroom, a brand new UFC arena outside the White House, his MAGA criminal allies, and his war with Iran. He has nothing for healthcare.

I recently joined David Lombardo on his "Dispatches from Planet Albany" podcast to discuss my work with NDCO and creation of @boostingleaders.bsky.social. Taking back our country starts at the ground level by supporting great candidates for important offices. capitolpressroom.org/2026/05/26/m...

Let us never forget the true meaning of today: to honor the brave men and women who gave the full measure of devotion in service to our country, including all who were recently killed in the War with Iran. We must never forget their sacrifice. I wish all a peaceful and reflective Memorial Day.

A neighbor doesn't like my sign that reminds everyone to love thy neighbor. I previously found it thrown away in the bushes, across the street, and now it was stepped on in attempt to destroy it. However, no matter what you do,I will keep putting it up, even if it has a few rips and... 1/2

The new Highmark Stadium is the largest infrastructure project in Erie County history, and let me tell you, it is incredible. Our team had the opportunity to tour the stadium recently. This project represents years of work and a major investment in keeping the Bills right here in Buffalo. 1/2

Earlier today, I joined @eriecountydpw.bsky.social Deputy Commissioner for Highways Karen Hoak to review the progress of the reconstruction of McKinley Parkway in Hamburg from Southwestern Boulevard to Quinby Drive. 1/3

Great morning in Hamburg at the Penn Dixie Fossil Park as we broke ground on its new Visitor Center and Bathroom complex. Penn Dixie is world-reknowned as a site for Devonian era fossils, and this new complex will make it a better. Finding a 380 million year old fossil of a shell added to the day!

Since 2016, we have invested more than $370 million in our road and bridge infrastructure, repairing on average 100 miles of road each year, more than 1,000 miles of roads combined. That's enough roadway to drive from Buffalo to St. Louis and back! #InfrastructureWeek

What a great turnout in support of my Deputy County Executive Lisa Chimera tonight! Thank you to everyone who came out to support her as she prepares for the future.

It is pretty much impossible for a president to affect gas prices, unless you begin a war in the Persian Gulf, especially one that results in the Strait of Hormuz being closed. There is a reason why EVERY president dating back to Reagan never started a war with Iran. Donald Trump did this 👇

Thank you to the Buffalo Sabres for an incredible season and a playoff run that gave Erie County and our residents so much to be proud of. The future is bright for this team and for hockey in Buffalo.

The grift and corruption of Trump and his allies knows no bounds. It is truly the worst. There is no way the traitors who stormed the Capitol should receive one penny from our country. They should still be serving their time. apnews.com/article/trum...

It's #InfrastructureWeek and we are highlighting our investment in the infrastructure that keeps our county running. Did you know that one of the largest infrastructure investments in our history is going on right now in Hamburg? Yes, at our Southtowns Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility. 1/2

It's #InfrastructureWeek and all this week we will be highlighting many projects we are undertaking in 2026. First is a DPW project: the Cold In-Place Recycle Project of Bullis Road in the Town of Marilla, which continues today. It's all part of our $50+ million road investment program for 2026.

When they went down 3-1 tonight I wondered if they would run for the bus or play with heart until the end. 6 unanswered goals later and the Sabres have proved they have more heart and soul than any team we have seen in decades. What a comeback! #LetsGoBuffalo !

Two fun events for you and the family to enjoy in your @Erie County Parks today! First, it's DPW Day at Como Lake Park. From 10 am to 2 pm, bring the kids, touch a truck, and learn more about our great Erie County Department of Public Works team. Then... 1/2

Today is the anniversary of one of the most somber days in our community's history. 4 years ago, the lives of 10 beautiful people were brutally cut short during the horrific mass shooting at the Tops Markets on Jefferson, three others were seriously injured, and untold pain was caused for all. 1/4

As a reminder, just like in the Town of Allegany, you are not allowed to shoot cannons in Erie County as well. www.wgrz.com/article/news...

Today is Tonawanda Supervisor Joe Emminger's last day in office. I've had the pleasure to work with Joe throughout his tenure. He has always been a strong and steady hand and a voice of reason on many issues. The town and county have benefited from his leadership. I wish him well in his retirement.

Thank you to the Legislature for unanimously passing our proposed 2026 bond package, which will allow us to ramp up our 2026 road repair program, as well as the budget balancing amendments for the 2025 fiscal year. 1/2
