It was an honor to join fellow Portuguese elected officials and community leaders for a productive lunch with Portugal's Secretary of State for the Portuguese Communities, Dr. Emídio Sousa. 🇵🇹🤝

These conversations strengthen the ties between our local Portuguese community and Portugal while celebrating the rich heritage that continues to shape Elizabeth.

A special thank you to Valenca Restaurant for the outstanding hospitality and authentic Portuguese cuisine. 🇵🇹🍽️

Nothing better than spending quality time with my youngest son, Adam, and cheering on the New York Knicks during Game 3 of the ! 🏀🗽

Even though the Knicks fell short to the San Antonio Spurs 115-111, we're still up 2-1 in the series. Win or lose, there's nowhere I'd rather be than watching our team with my son. These are the moments that matter the most! ❤️

Game 4 is Wednesday night at MSG. The Knicks will be better. Let's finish what we started — Let's go, Knicks! 🔵🟠

🇵🇹 Portugal Day is here! 🇵🇹

Kicking off today’s parade with the obligatory selfie, surrounded by royalty and Portuguese pride as we celebrate our heritage, culture, and community.

Even more special, four former queens are serving on the 2026 committee, helping ensure that our traditions continue to thrive for generations to come. Their dedication, along with the involvement of so many young people, is a testament to the strength and future of our Portuguese community.

Come on by, enjoy the festivities, and celebrate with us!

We head out at 2:00 p.m. from Union Square Plaza.

Viva Portugal! 🇵🇹❤️🎉
