Thank you to the great people of New York’s 9th Congressional District for entrusting me with an 11th term as our community’s federal representative in Washington, DC! Brooklyn has always been, and will always be, my home. To serve the many decent, diverse, and spirited peoples
Once again, Donald Trump has proven the safest election is the one farthest from his reach.
Always remember that your vote is yours alone — no matter what he, or the so-called “election monitors” infiltrating our communities and intimidating our neighbors have to say about it.
It's Election Day in New York and across the nation, folks! Make your voice loud, make it clear, and make it heard by casting your ballot, today!
Neighbors — please find your poll site at https://VOTE.NYC, and remember that polls close at 9PM.
Thank you to the great people of New York’s 9th Congressional District for entrusting me with an 11th term as our community’s federal representative in Washington, DC! Brooklyn has always been, and will always be, my home. To serve the many decent, diverse, and spirited peoples of our borough, whom I am privileged to call my neighbors, is both a blessing and the honor of my life. When I return to the upcoming Congress, I pledge to continue the work of advancing our progressive agenda, standing firm against oppressive actions and regressive ideologies, and upholding the highest ideals of those who helped build Brooklyn into the beautiful, vibrant community we are proud to call home.

Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder was a tragedy, and anyone who says otherwise has no place in public service.
However, I will not pretend to respect the harmful ideologies he proudly held, nor will I honor a man who built a career out of dishonoring Americans like me.
I voted no.
Jimmy Kimmel’s firing was an absurd abuse of power – that’s why I joined with @repfrankpallone to demand an FCC Oversight hearing IMMEDIATELY so we can have an opportunity to hold Chairman Brendan Carr accountable for weaponizing the FCC against free speech and expression.
Trump is hellbent on whitewashing the African American experiences in this country. No matter how many signs or exhibits this administration removes from our nation’s museums or national parks, our history will not be silenced.
The American people have a right to know history in its entirety: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — and we have it all. History will record the fact that, on the orders of Donald Trump in the year 2025, all these historical artifacts were removed to distort the past to appease denialists.
As we mark the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join me in celebrating our beloved Latino neighbors!
Now more than ever, they deserve to know how deeply we value their cultures and contributions.
Now more than ever, they deserve to know we will always stand with them.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party are determined to drag this country back to a time when Black voices were shut out of the democratic process.
We will not allow it.
The stakes are far too high.
And this fight is far from over.
As we pause today to remember the lives lost on #September11th – a day that forever changed our city, our nation, and the way we live – join me in honoring the first responders, families, and communities who experienced unimaginable loss.
Like all proud daughters of New York City, I will never forget where I was on that fateful day, and the countless stories of bravery and unity that emerged from such a dark moment in time.
Wishing all of our city’s students, parents, teachers, and faculty a very happy First Day of School!
Another year, another special West Indian Day Parade alongside our dear friends and neighbors from across the diaspora!
Our cultures and communities are unlike any others, and that is why I am truly blessed to call myself a woman of Caribbean descent.
One Love, everybody!
