Across New York, counties and communities are lighting up green to honor our veterans through Operation Green Light.  Shining a green light lets veterans know that they are seen, appreciated and supported. 

Thank you to the Ontario County Board of Supervisors, the Ontario County Veterans Service Agency, and all the counties across our state that took part in this meaningful tribute to our veterans and their families.

Hosted by The Second Impact Foundation to celebrate the courage and service of those who protect our families every day.

The event raised funds to support the Geneva Police & Fire Departments.

One of the most meaningful parts of my job is meeting face to face with the people I represent.

Joined municipal leaders to hear from farmers in the Genesee Valley. It was a great opportunity to speak with farmers, hear about modern farming practices, new innovations, and the unique opportunities that exist for family farms.
