Matthew Peter for Albany

The 18th Annual Santa Speedo Sprint was a huge success this weekend! Legislator @mpeterforalbany and his team raised over $5,000 to support the @AlbanyDamienCtr. Shout-out to all supporters and the great local restaurants who joined in the delicious Chili and Chowder Fest.

Great piece by @WAMCNews’ @davelucas on my brother from another mother @mpeterforalbany, who really needs to stop doing things like this. wamc.org/news/2023-11-1…

@RichAzzopardi @WAMCNews @davelucas Admittedly I took the bit too far…

@imsarahughes @shugheswrites Happy bday!

I know this platform has gotten really awful, but could we blow up @shugheswrites’ replies with happy birthday wishes? He’s an amazing guy, just the best dad, a dogged reporter, and someone who I’ve had the privilege to know for years. I love you, Steve

Deputy Chair @Wanda4Albany, Deputy Majority Leader Lynne Lekakis, and Legislators @mpeterforalbany, @mattmiller4leg, @samfein518, and @Carolyn4Albany joined local partners to set forth a comprehensive approach to increasing access to mental health programs in Albany County (2/3)

The Inflation Reduction Act is the most sweeping legislation ever enacted to combat climate change - and can save you and your family thousands each year in incentives. This week we’re partnering with New York League of Conservation Voters and Congressman Paul D. Tonkoto spread the word.

ICYMI: Albany County Legislature Chairman @JoyceForAlbany, Legislator @mpeterforalbany and Legislator @LLekakis were thrilled to award local LGBTIA+ POC advocacy and resource organization, In Our Own Voices (@IOOV245) with a $25,000 grant.

🏳️‍🌈SEEN AT THIS YEARS’ PRIDE PARADE: Legislators @DustinReidy and @mpeterforalbany

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Albany always does Pride best! What a tremendous turnout today to celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride in the City of Albany. It was an honor to march with @IOOV245 as they celebrate their 25th anniversary providing services and support for our LGBTQIA+ BIPOC community.

We are partnering with our friends at RISSE and many stakeholders across Albany County to make something very clear — We are a welcoming community, and we’re going to support those fleeing poverty and despair to make a new life in our community. Please consider donating to our supply drive from now until June 20th.

One of the best public defenders & most joyous Lark St resident passed away on June 1. Don was a fighter and a great friend and had the most amazing laugh. I am completely broken by his passing and hope to keep his legacy alive in tenacious defense work. timesunion.com/news/article/a…

It’s official! The Albany County Office building is now lit up in honor of Pride Month which starts tomorrow.

What a wonderfully sunny Saturday + Sunday we had this past weekend. Thank you to @AlbanyDgs @mpeterforalbany @CentersquareCSA @HudsonParkNA @UTAlbany @CapitalPrideCtr @wearepintsized for the collaboration in keeping Ward 6 beautiful!

On behalf of the @AlbanyNYLeg, legislators @VPlotsky and @mpeterforalbany presented Damian Shin, PhD and Eric Molho, MD a proclamation about #ParkinsonsDisease, in honor of their years of work researching and treating the disease. #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth

Proud to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of @IOOV245, which has been deeply committed to serving & supporting people of color from the LGBTQA+ community. They have helped 600,000 individuals across 7 counties & I'm happy Albany County can be a partner to them. Congrats!

@IOOV245 kicked off its 25th anniversary celebration today! Legislator @mpeterforalbany was proud to join the celebration with local officials and present a proclamation on behalf of the Legislature, recognizing the advocacy efforts of IOOV for the LGBT people of color community.
