Dear Friends,
Since starting my term as your Assembly Member in January 2023 focusing on the needs of our community remains my top priority. Our Community Office is open and here to serve you.
Working closely with our community partners Team JZ was very busy this summer! Let me share the hard work being done throughout the 80th Assembly District.
Tour of Jacobi Hospital
I met with the amazing team of healthcare professionals at Jacobi Hospital to see firsthand the lifesaving work they do for patients throughout our communities everyday.
I will continue to support policies that will deliver the highest quality of care for New Yorkers and advocate for staff wellness so the needs of our dedicated healthcare professionals are met.
Bronx Chamber of Commerce 2023 Chairman's Legislative Breakfast
I joined my colleagues in government for The Bronx Chamber of Commerce 2023 Chairman's Legislative Breakfast at the New York Botanical Garden.
Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. I was proud to discuss various ways local stakeholders in the Bronx business community can work together with lawmakers to champion the greatest Borough in the City of New York!
SUV Standing Up to Violence
I also met with the team at SUV Stand Up To Violence to discuss their ongoing efforts to curb gun violence and develop violence prevention initiatives #inThe80thDistrict.
SUV Stand Up to Violence's work is an important tool in our collective efforts to stop gun violence in our communities and ensure survivors and their families are provided with the help they need to heal.
Meetings in our Community Office
Whether in Albany or in the Bronx I regularly meet with constituents and organizations and our Community Office is busy! I met with members of the Pelham Parkway Neighborhood Association, the Morris Park Community and the Van Nest Neighborhood Association.
Their input is invaluable to myself and my team as we work our hardest to serve all those who live #inThe80thDistrict.
And last but certainly not least I had the pleasure of meeting with NYPD Transit Bureau District 12 Commanding Officer, Captain Muhammad Ashraf and Community Affairs Officer Cepeda-Chavez to discuss the state of public safety in and around our subway stations.
We had a productive conversation and I will continue to work with our partners in law enforcement to address all issues impacting public safety in our communities.
National Night Out Against Crime 2023
Our Community Office was proud to join members of the NYPD's 49th Precinct and 52nd Precinct for National Night Out Against Crime 2023.
This annual event promotes public safety and the importance of building lasting relationships between our communities and law enforcement. It was great to see many local organizations and fellow Bronxites throughout the evening!
Events like National Night Out Against Crime highlight our dedication to keeping our communities safe. I will always support these efforts and our Community Office will continue to be a resource for all.
Bollywood in the Bronx
We celebrated Bollywood in The Bronx with Bharati Sukul Kemraj for an afternoon of community and culture! I was proud to present this year's honorees with a New York State Assembly Citation.
Mosholu Parkway Cleanup
Team JZ continued our community beautification initiative, working together with Friends of Mosholu Parkway and Partnership for Parks to host a cleanup of Mosholu Parkway.
In the end we collected over ten bags of trash and other pollutants along Mosholu Parkway and keeps our green spaces clean for all to enjoy!
