Eating bagels in NY-12 since 1981, fighting Donald Trump since (before) 2016. Happy Election Day, New York.

Extra special Father’s Day this year. I was incredibly proud to cast my vote this morning alongside my incredible wife and our amazing kids. Above all else, this campaign is about building a better city and country for their future. Having them by my side throughout this journey has been the greatest gift of all.

Thank you for recognizing the importance of federal law. Speaking of which, Congress clarified that “no authorities exist” for these IAAs. ICYMI, see page 83 of the Joint Explanatory Statement for the FY 2026 Labor-HHS-ED appropriations law. 🔗docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…

NEW: Sen. John Liu says to me in a statement that class size law extension will NOT be in the budget (but is being finalized) “An extended timeframe for compliance with class-size limitations enacted in 2022 is being finalized and will be legislated apart from the state budget.”

We're excited to invite families across our early childhood community to ECE's first-ever End-of-Year Celebration! Date: Saturday, June 13 Time: 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM Location: New York Hall of Science in Queens

The risks of tech for public education are real but blanket bans would be disastrous because we need AI, used in a smart and safe way, to help us overcome intractable obstacles to student success, most importantly what I call the "Catch-up Crisis." the74million.org/article/americ…

Mayor Mamdani, Chancellor Samuels and City Council members are facing off with middle schoolers in a math competition to announce an expansion of NYC’s math and reading curriculum overhauls. “This is a Knicks comeback,” said @voteshekar as his team is down 4-1.

Thanks to @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor, New York is investing in the next generation.

GOOOOAAAALLL! ⚽️ More @NYCSchools students will soon have access to brand-new soccer pitches in school communities across the city! Thank you to the U.S. Soccer Foundation, the NY/NJ 2026 World Cup Host Committee, and Airbnb for making this possible for our school communities.

thank you @GovKathyHochul for protecting schools and other sensitive locations from ICE. Schools need to be safe places for learning. @Ed4Excellence

thank you @RepJahanaHayes for uplifting educators, celebrating their work, and calling for them to have more agency in shaping the future of their profession. #teacherappreciation #aweekisnotenough @Ed4Excellence

@NYstateED needs to get this right. Any students being locked out is unacceptable. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2026/0…

Congress has a simple job when @usedgov testifies today…. “Just say no. “

NEW: My office analyzed NYC’s urban forest—more than 7 million trees across our streets, parks, and private land. We found that neighborhoods with the least tree canopy tend to have the highest heat vulnerability, and also have the highest rates of childhood asthma. Trees are essential infrastructure. They are about public health, flood prevention, economic development, and equity. NYC’s goal is 30% canopy cover. Achieving it will require sustained planting, and also stronger maintenance, better protection of existing trees, and long-term funding. Read our full report, "NYC’s Living Infrastructure: Funding and Managing NYC’s Urban Forest and Tree Canopy". Link below.

I introduced a bill to repeal the federal school voucher program. America's public schools helped build the middle class, but universal school vouchers drain school funding and hurt students. Arizona is living it right now. Our kids and our country deserve better.
