Great to stop by Flo’s Diner and to present a New York State Senate Empire Award to Sue Brown and the Madison County business. The beloved diner - the home of 10-cent coffee - has been a landmark and a classic roadside stop along Oneida Lake since 1976.

Last night’s annual fundraiser dinner hosted by the Bosnian American Community Association was a great celebration of Bosnian heritage and culture. The Bosnian people have made many contributions to Utica, Oneida County and the Mohawk Valley.

I am pleased that the governor has signed this legislation into law. After New Hartford Fire Department members approached Assemblyman Brian Miller and I regarding this initiative, we worked diligently to move this bill through the legislative process. nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-…

It was a pleasure to attend the Mohawk Valley Latino Association’s annual gala yesterday evening. The event is held each year to celebrate Hispanic heritage and to honor local community and small business members.

Good chatting w/ @uticauniversity Pres. Dr. Stephanie Nesbitt. As the ranking member of the Senate’s Higher Ed Committee, I understand the importance of ensuring that institutions like UU can thrive. I’ll keep working w/ President Nesbitt & her team to achieve this objective.

This morning in Chittenango they cut a ribbon for the new creek walk at the Erie Canal Museum at Chittenango Landing. Thanks to everyone involved with this project, which will provide more recreational opportunities for residents and visitors and will enhance the community.

Congrats, again, on this tremendous accomplishment! It was great to visit @HamiltonCollege earlier this year to recognize the national champion men’s hockey team. The team’s hard work, resilience, and dedication all season truly paid off.
The banner is up, and the rings are on! 🏆 Hamilton celebrated its 2026 NCAA Division III men’s hockey national champions during Homecoming Weekend, bringing the team and its supporters back together to mark a season that made history. #ContinentalArmy Video by: Zack Stanek

I enjoyed attending the Clinton Community Fall Fest on the Village Green. Sponsored by Hamilton College and local partners, the event showcased local vendors and featured harvest-inspired food, goods and activities.
