Easter Egg Hunt with 45th & 49th Precincts





We had an egg-cellent time on Thursday sponsoring the Easter Egg Hunt with the 45th & 49th precincts!


Over 9,000 eggs were hidden and eagerly hunted by hundreds of excited kids and their families 🐣



A huge thank you to our NYPD partners for always going above and beyond for our community!


District 13, we hear you!



District 13, we heard you loud and clear: Last summer’s chaotic boat parties disrupted our waters, our summers, and our community!


Now, we have joined forces on Saturday, with NYPD Harbor Patrol, the Coast Guard, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the New York State Liquor Authority, and ‘White Boy’ himself, all of whom are dedicated to spreading the message: reckless boating and behavior will not be tolerated.


Our office, along with these dedicated agencies, is committed to ensuring our waters stay safe and peaceful for District 13!



Easter Festivities in District 13! 🐰


We kicked off Saturday with the Easter Bunny and our 

wonderful friends from Allerton Ave!


It was a lively and joyful start to the day, filled with 

community spirit and all the fun Easter festivities! From 

meeting the Easter Bunny to enjoying the cheerful 

atmosphere, everyone came together to make it a 

memorable morning 🐰 🐣.


Easter over at Pelham Parkway!



Our second stop on Saturday: Pelham Parkway! It’s always 

a true pleasure to visit our friends in this vibrant community 

and spend time with the neighbors who make this part of 

D13 so unique and special.


The warmth and spirit here are unmatched, and we're excited 

to keep the Easter celebrations going strong across the district 

throughout the weekend! It's moments like these that remind 

us of the incredible sense of togetherness that makes our 

community so wonderful.


Continuing the festivities in Throggs Neck!



Our third stop brought us to the wonderful Throggs Neck 

community at Ferry Point Park 🐰🐣. It’s always such a fun 

and lively event when we’re with our friends from the 

Throggs Neck Community Alliance and all our amazing 

community partners.


The energy and excitement here never disappoint, and it's a 

great reminder of how special this neighborhood truly is! 

We’re grateful for the chance to come together and celebrate 

the season with everyone!


Last stop: City Island!



Hoppin’ over to City Island was definitely an eggstra 

special stop on our Saturday tour! 🐣🐰 The vibrant 

energy and warm welcome we received made it a 

memorable part of our day.


From the beautiful views to the friendly faces, City Island 

brought its own unique charm to our Easter celebrations, 

and we couldn’t be happier to share the moment with such 

an amazing community!


Happy Easter! April 20th, 2025



We hope everyone had a joyful and blessed Easter! May this 

special time have brought peace, hope, and renewal to you 

and your loved ones.


As we reflected on the season of new beginnings, we cherished

the moments that brought us together and spread kindness 

throughout our community. Happy Easter to all! 🐰



Remembering Pope Francis April 21st, 2025



With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of Pope Francis—an 

extraordinary leader whose unwavering commitment to peace, 

dignity, and faith touched the lives of millions around the 

world. Throughout his life, he was a tireless advocate for 

justice, compassion, and unity, inspiring countless

individuals to live with kindness and humility.


His legacy will undoubtedly continue to guide and inspire 

future generations, reminding us all of the importance of 

love, tolerance, and understanding. May he now rest in peace, 

his memory forever etched in the hearts of those he so 

profoundly impacted.


Walk-through with Throggs Neck Houses 

and NYCHA



On Tuesday, we conducted a walk-through with Throggs 

Neck Houses and NYCHA. Taking accountability means 

showing up, listening to the concerns, and working hand 

in hand with the community.


Now that we’ve identified the issues, my office is dedicated 

to collaborating with city agencies to find real, lasting 

solutions. Our constituents deserve to live in safe, clean, 

and secure housing.


Earth Day! 🌎 April 22nd, 2025



Yesterday we celebrated Earth Day, and we thank NYS DOT 

for a community cleanup on Otis & Hollywood Ave.


It’s all about doing our part to protect the environment 

and maintain a clean, beautiful neighborhood.


Every action, no matter how small, contributes to making a 

positive impact! Let’s keep moving forward, together.
