Simcha Eichenstein

Starting this Friday, residents in @BrooklynCB12 with Saturday garbage pickup, can put out their trash bins on Friday starting at 3 pm. This has been made possible through the hard work of @SEichenstein and @SenatorSutton . Special recognition to @bspitzer who also worked on this.

For too long, New Yorkers faced a real struggle to pay for substantial utility rate increases. Incredibly proud that the State Assembly passed my bill today requiring @NYSDPS oversight on major utility rate increases. Grateful to Senator @LeroyComrie for sponsoring our bill in the Senate!

If the solution is to provide a private operator with a government subsidy, why not simply subsidize the bread and eggs at Key Food supermarkets? That would be significantly cheaper and simpler and it doesn’t involve constructing new buildings.

Attention Boro Park and Flatbush residents! We are thrilled to announce that I will once again be sponsoring a FREE Pesach Fun Family Extravaganza, together with Councilman @SimchaFelderNY. This event is open to everyone, and all rides, activities and entertainment will be absolutely free! This year’s Extravaganza promises to be bigger and better than ever. Join us and bring the family to experience this epic event happening right in your own neighborhood!

After Seder we took a stroll down Avenue J to catch up on some pre-pesach shopping. Not pictured: the rugelach we devoured. @GovKathyHochul @SEichenstein @SenatorSutton

Honored to join Yeshiva Flatbush for their Model Seder as they prepare for Passover! You could feel the joy of the Passover season in every corner of the community this week. Chag Pesach Sameach!

While the media framed the Michigan synagogue terrorist as a man simply 'driven by grief' after losing his brother in a Lebanon airstrike, we now learn that his brother was actually a Hezbollah terrorist commander. Will the facts be updated by mainstream media? Or will it be ignored because it doesn’t fit the narrative?

Mr. International Law Guy was silent as Iran slaughtered 10K+ of her own people. The regime isn't just a threat to its citizens—it has attacked U.S. forces through proxies in Iraq and Syria, targeted our embassies, armed and directed terror networks like Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The thousands of Americans whose family members were killed or taken hostage by Khamenei’s terrorist reign are welcoming the hoped end to the oppression. God Bless America 🇺🇸

Agreed. Matching funds is a waste of millions of taxpayer dollars. If we are serious about addressing the affordability crisis - this is an excellent place to start!

It’s quite meaningful to earn these endorsements from Jewish leaders at a moment when the Jewish community is under attack. I will always stand up against antisemitism and against all forms of hatred across New York.

I’m honored to be endorsed by @SenatorSutton and State Assemblyman @SEichenstein, two forceful advocates for their community who have been incredible partners. Together, we’ll continue this critical fight to create a New York that works for everyone.

Did I miss the memo that raising taxes on hardworking middle-class New Yorkers to maintain the current level of spending was part of the “affordability agenda”? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Socialism at its best: ‘Let’s hold bad landlords accountable,’ but conveniently exclude @NYCHA, NYC’s worst landlord! nypost.com/2026/02/15/us-…

Thank you to @SpeakerMenin and her leadership team for making the long trip to the Capitol and making it a priority to meet with Jewish elected officials. Antisemitism is a serious problem that demands serious solutions. I am grateful for their dedication, their willingness to listen, and their continued commitment to standing with our communities.

The qualification to head Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism? This⬇️

“If ‘Never Again’ is to mean anything in New York, it must mean that we must never again be silent.” Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, I spoke on the Assembly floor about the responsibility of government to stand against antisemitism and hate. We must ensure that history does not repeat itself. “When antisemitism is dismissed as ‘speech’ – including by our very own elected leaders – rather than confronted as a danger, we are failing the lessons of history.”

With the recovery of the final hostage, a heartbreaking chapter comes to a close. This war began more than two years ago when Hamas terrorists invaded a sovereign country, murdered innocent Israelis, and captured hundreds of civilian hostages. History will remember who recognized the truth and who refused to condemn the evil. Israel did what was necessary to defend its people. The world is now a little bit safer. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

Before you watch anything else, watch this. This is @PeterSantenello. He came into the Hasidic Jewish community with humility, curiosity, and genuine respect. He didn't come to provoke, expose, or score points. He came to learn. Because of that, doors opened. Conversations happened. Real people were seen as real people. That's why he was welcomed and treated like one of us. Now compare that to what we are watching today in Kiryas Joel. We are seeing someone arrive with a predetermined narrative, trying to paint Hasidic Jews in the worst possible light. Not to understand a private community, but to sensationalize it. Not to learn, but to virtue signal. As if Hasidic Jews are some dangerous group, despite having no history of violence or harming others. So watch this video and learn the difference. Learn the difference between genuine curiosity and bad intentions. Between storytelling and grifting. Between someone who wants to understand, and someone who wants clicks.

Today we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose vision and call for justice continue to guide us. As hate and division persist in our world, Dr. King reminds us that it is our shared responsibility to carry his dream forward by standing firmly against racism and bigotry.
