Fourth of July across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes!

I am grateful to take this opportunity to wish the communities, and the citizens and families of New York's 58th Senate District a safe and a meaningful Fourth of July weekend.

With so many challenges facing our local commmunities, our state and our nation at home and abroad -- and always remembering the enormous sacrifices made by America's military around the world to protect the ideal of the United States that we celebrate over the coming days -- I hope that each and every one of us will take a moment to remember the foundations that have helped our nation persevere and prosper throughout the past 249 years and that can still show the way to a strong future!

My very best wishes to all of you and your families, friends and neighbors for a safe, meaningful, memorable and enjoyable kickoff to the season of summer across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions!
