“I’m proud to endorse friend & colleague JGR for NYS Senate. Time & again, she has stood up for our community—from health care for our immigrant neighbors, to combating hate against our LGBTQ+ community, to supporting our public spaces. JGR is the partner I need in Albany” - Council Member Krishnan

It was an honor to address the members of the @nycfairhousing & discuss our shared agenda to ensure affordability & protect tenants’ rights. I stand w an org fighting for housing for people, not profit. Together, we can keep every New Yorker in NY—& make housing a human right✊🏽

“JGR is a leader with a heart & a backbone. She has good judgement, an unwavering moral compass & a strong record of winning for her community. She will never sacrifice her values for political points. JGR is the fighter Queens deserves in the State Senate.” - @tiffany_caban 🎉

Honored to earn the endorsement of @MaketheRoadAct as I run for State Senate! Together we’ve fought for Coverage for All, defended our neighbors from ICE, & stood with LGBTQIA+ immigrants. Excited to keep building the future our communities deserve. 🧵 t.co/yslgr5c6J9

Andrew Cuomo is Donald Trump and the ultra rich’s choice for mayor. Zohran Mamdani is the peoples’ choice.

Proud to back @tiffany_caban’s Delivery Protection Act 🚚 Amazon has the most Unfair Labor Practice allegations in NYC—yet still keeps drivers at arm’s length while controlling their jobs. Enough is enough. Protect workers, safe streets & ensure corporate accountability!

Last Thursday, at 26 Federal Plaza, I was arrested w colleagues for demanding ICE be held accountable for inhumane conditions. I held Dino—our beloved neighbor & restaurant worker, deported & torn from his wife & 3 kids—in my heart. NY must pass #NY4All & NYC must pass the Trust Act

Thank you to @JimmyVanBramer, Dan Hendrick & @amitsinghbagga for hosting a beautiful backyard fundraiser. As we resist Trump’s attacks, we need leaders who build coalitions across city, state & federal gov’t to deliver for Queens. Support our people-powered campaign! bit.ly/jgr2026

Jackson Heights showed up for @ZohranKMamdani! We launched a canvas at Travers Park w Congresswoman @PramilaJayapal, a true fighter 4 justice. In 2014, she & I got arrested in a DC civil disobedience for immigrant women’s rights—today we fight again…this time for Zohran for NYC

✨ This Sunday! Join me + Caribbean Americans United in Support of @ZohranKMamdani for Mayor for our Virtual Rally & Kick-Off w/ @JumaaneWilliams, @TishJames, @MoniqueForNY, @DRichardsQNS & so many elected leaders! 🗓️ Sept 14 ⏰ 7PM 📍 Zoom: 853 5928 8341 | Pass: CAUISOMM

Every year on 9/11, I post this photo I took on September 10, 2001, the day before these NYC icons were destroyed, alongside the lives of 2,996 people. 🧵

🍎 Big win for NY: Universal School Meals are in effect statewide! No child should learn on an empty stomach & no parent should choose between rent + lunch. Grateful to my partners @SenatorHinchey, the entire Healthy School Meals for All Coalition & @nysut for leading the fight

First day of school in NYC! 🎒📚 Thrilled to welcome parents, kids & the PS 148Q community in East Elmhurst. As a parent, I know the mix of nerves & excitement—wishing all our neighborhood’s children a joyful, bright school year ahead! 🌟

What an amazing day! 🎉 Proud to partner with Bobby Coba aka @SleepyDaBarber & the Jackson Heights Day crew to host a Back-to-School BBQ & Giveback Block Party in Jackson Heights. Thanks to all who donated food, backpacks & more—while Queens’ best DJs kept the energy high! 🎶✨

Honored to join my friend Fahad Solaiman at the Bangladesh Heritage Celebration last night at Queens Palace in Woodside! 🇧🇩 The Bangladeshi community in Queens is a force — contributing to the rich cultural fabric of our neighborhoods and building the political power that shapes our city.

Heartbroken by the tragic loss of a 19-year-old in our community last night on 93rd St. We must address the root causes of violence with more youth programs, community resources & prevention efforts. My office is in touch w/ the 115th Precinct as the investigation continues.

Heartbroken by the tragic loss of East Elmhurst’s own Kevin Mares, a LaGuardia Community College student whose bright future was cut short far too soon in Puerto Rico. My thoughts are with his loved ones during this unimaginable time.

Honored to join @ApichaCHC’s Community Health Fair & to celebrate my friend Juttana “Moo” Rimreartwate’s leadership. As Trump attacks healthcare, I’ll fight like hell to protect community health centers—lifelines serving ALL regardless of gender, sexuality or immigration status.

Back to school means…. FREE BACKPACKS! Entrega de mochilas con mi hermana @votejgr.bsky.social on 8/19! One backpack per child! 🎒📚📕 This is just one of THREE free backpack events we’re doing this back to school season, so stay tuned if you can’t make this one.

This morning, I rallied with neighbors, fellow elected leaders & climate activists to say: NO to Trump’s dirty pipelines. We’ve stopped them before, we’ll stop them again. Our future is clean energy, not fossil fuel deals. 🌱✊🏽#NoTrumpPipelines

Last week, I launched my State Senate campaign with 200+ neighbors, friends & community leaders. I’m proud of the coalition we’re building—rooted in unwavering values of equity, dignity & justice. Donate today to help us win! ➡️ bit.ly/jgr2026 (Link in Bio)

New York has become one of the slowest states in the country to pay unemployment benefits. Several state lawmakers told New York Focus that constituents frequently call their offices because they need help with their claim or to complain about delays. @votejgr.bsky.social:

It was a joy to sit down w Pastor Young of the First Baptist Church in East Elmhurst. The church is more than a house of worship—it’s a vital hub for food security, mental health support & services for our older adults. I am grateful for all the powerful work his congregation does for our community.

Hope! @votejgr.bsky.social campaign launch for State Senate District 13 was 🔥🔥🔥 (The best organizers across Queens & the rest of NYC were there, & although there were too many friends for me to snap 📸 with, I still maxxed out on the number that I could tag 🥹🫠) #ABetterWorldIsPossible

Last night, @votejgr.bsky.social (who's challenging @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social) kicked off her state Senate campaign with a fundraiser in Jackson Heights attended by NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, Queens BP Donovan Richards and other high-profile endorsers: www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

I stood with UAW Region 9 & @alaa_uaw2325 legal service workers demanding a fair contract. These frontline defenders of justice deserve dignity, respect & pay that matches their mission. NYC must protect them as they protect our most vulnerable. ✊🏽

UPDATED with statements from @votejgr.bsky.social and from @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social's chief of staff/campaign manager: www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

Join us for the @votejgr.bsky.social State Senate Campaign launch! Your generosity will support the "Better Jessica" as she begins her campaign for the NYS Senate District 13 seat 🙏🏼🫶🏽 Click here to make your contribution secure.actblue.com/donate/jgr2026 📰 www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

It was a joy to join @benmax.bsky.social and Eli Valentín to discuss the Mayor’s race, Latino vote, and shifts in generational ideologies amongst the diverse Latino communities in NYC. 🎧 Listen to snippet below and the whole episode here: bit.ly/4lOcN61

No NYer should suffer bc they can’t afford the medicine they need to breathe. I proudly passed my bill w @NYSenatorRivera to require insurance plans to cover inhalers without out-of-pocket costs. This is more than a policy win—it’s a victory for health & environmental justice. Bit.ly/QNSJGR

CONGRATS @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 🎉

We out here with @votejgr.bsky.social and CUFFH for @alexaforcouncil.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you @NickReisman @politico for this important piece and for including my voice as an advocate, a legislator, a survivor and as someone looking for a mayor who is not a scandal-ridden perv besieged in lawsuits. Read the full piece ⬇️ www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Great to see the @mta.info continuing to deliver in very meaningful ways on the bike-access bill we worked to craft with @votejgr.bsky.social, @biaggi4ny.bsky.social, and @bikenewyork.bsky.social's @jonorcutt.bsky.social a few years back. gothamist.com/news/mta-add...

As a longtime leader on healthcare, racial justice, immigration reform and LGBTQ+ issues, @votejgr.bsky.social has been an inspiration and a treasured colleague. Especially during Pride, I’m honored to receive her endorsement!

Using the military to quash protestors isn’t leadership—it’s fascism. Trump deployed the National Guard & Marines to LA over anti‑ICE demonstrations. If we stay silent, next it’s coming to New York. Stand with immigrant families & defend our democracy. qns.com/2025/06/gonz...

🎉 Proud to endorse @bradlander, @ZohranKMamdani, @AdrienneEAdams & @zellnor4ny for NYC’s 2025 Mayoral elections. Brad & Zohran bring bold, transformative leadership—rank them at the top. All four are fighters for justice, equity & the future our city deserves. #DontRankCuomo

This morning, I joined American Legion Post 1836 & Boulevard Gardens for their 68th Annual Memorial Day Ceremony in Woodside. A beautiful & solemn tribute to those who gave their lives for our freedom. Thank you to Post Commander Alan Feuer for your leadership. 🇺🇸#MemorialDay

We stood w/ survivors to call for the #CREEPAct (A3226/S3394)—my bill w @Sen_Gounardes to let stalking victims get a Civil Order of Protection before violence happens. 43 states already allow this. NY should too. Thank you @cagoldberglaw + all the survivor justice advocates!

📣Thrilled to announce that Melina Grisales is my new Chief of Staff! A brilliant colleague since the launch of my campaign in 2019, Melina grew up in the district & brings deep community roots, gov experience & policy know-how. Excited to keep building w her for equity & justice

Let’s celebrate #EarthDay with a solution to the #ClimateCrisis. I’m calling on my colleagues in the Assembly and Senate to pass the #NYHEATAct so we can have lower utility bills and cleaner energy. #RenewableHeatNow #OffFossilFuels

After 4.5 years of dedicated & tireless service, my COS Brian Romero is moving on to a new role in the State Legislature after May 2. He’s been an advocate for justice & our communities, always in service of District 34 neighbors. I'm grateful for his leadership, heart & hustle.

This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, we acknowledge a dark reality: Black birthing people in NYC are 5x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white people. With 13+ years in repro justice & as a legislator, I’ve worked to address this—but there’s more to do. #BMHW25

Last night was so much fun at the LGBTQ Center Gala! 🌈 It was great to meet Kesha, celebrate her and the other honorees. Our work to love and support each other is more important now than ever!

ICYMI: @msfchoice.bsky.social published a @timesunion.com op-ed on my bill A2581 to establish a NYS Dept of Health Education and Outreach Program on reproductive health services. As the fed gov deletes resources we must keep New Yorkers informed of ours. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Astoria’s own Bartunek Hardware just hit 100 years in business! We dedicated the corner of 23rd Ave & 28th St in their honor—a tribute to a multigenerational, family-run gem. Thanks Councilmember Cabán & Senator Gianaris for partnering on this! #Astoria

I joined @governor.ny.gov today for the signing of 3 pieces of gun control legislation. The bills will expand consumer warnings, regulate pistol converters, and strengthen ammo sales rules. Keeping New Yorkers safe is our first priority.

On #AutismAwarenessDay, I stand in solidarity with the autism community and reaffirm my commitment to building a more inclusive and accessible New York for individuals with autism and all disabilities. 🧩

NEW: Last night on @lastweektonight.com John Oliver discussed “Excited Delirium” - a debunked diagnosis by several professional associations - and why it should be banned from use. Watch here ⤵️

“Right now, Hochul’s budget tells human services workers that they don’t matter.” ⏰ But it's not too late, writes HSC’s Executive Director Michelle Jackson. @governor.ny.gov can still live up to the right values by investing 7.8% in human services! #JustPay www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...
