When Bruce Blakeman promises to bring “Trump-style leadership to Albany,” we know exactly what that means for NY: higher costs, more guns on our streets, and communities at risk.

New Yorkers have a choice this November between proven leadership in Governor Kathy Hochul that looks for ways to put money back in New Yorkers’ pockets every day, and an out-of-touch MAGA failure of a County Executive.

Voters are smart, and they'll make the right choice on #ElectionDay.

A fantastic day stepping back in time at the Ravena-Coeymans America 250th Anniversary event! 🥁🇺🇸

History came alive today at Coeymans Landing, from the traditional fife and drum music to the 2nd Regiment Albany County Militia re-enactors, black-smithing demonstrations, and even Revolutionary

War-era bateaux floating on the Hudson. Milestones like our nation’s semi-quincentennial give us a perfect chance to reflect on the deep local roots that shaped our country.

Thank you to the organizers and volunteers who put together such an incredible three-day weekend for our families!#US250 #LocalHistory #HudsonRiver #CapitalRegionNY #FifeAndDrum #NY20 by @paultonko

Aloha from the Veterans & Community Housing Coalition’s "Red, White, and Luau!" 🌺

Always an honor to spend time with the incredible team at VCHC and support their mission of providing housing and essential support services to our veterans.

Thank you to everyone who came out to make this event a success—our veterans stepped up for us, and it’s our duty to ensure they have a safe, stable place to call home. 🇺🇸🌴 #SupportOurVeterans #NY20 #CommunityFirst #VCHC by @paultonko

More fun from the fourth in Schenectady and Clifton Park! Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated the potential that we have to be a nation where our most vulnerable are cared for and commonsense policy in DC is aimed at making life better for all - not just the already wealthy and well-connected. #fourthofjuly taken in Schenectady, New York by @paultonko

At Albany County’s July Honor-a-Vet ceremony, we celebrated the life of Clark “Bill” Henry, a Navy veteran, longtime U.S. Postal Service letter carrier, crossing guard, devoted family man, and proud Albany resident.

Bill served his country in the U.S. Naval Reserve before returning home to spend decades serving his neighbors. Whether delivering mail, helping children cross the street safely, or greeting friends from his porch on Ramsey Place, Bill embodied what it means to care for your community. He earned the nickname “Mayor of Ramsey Place” because he was a familiar face, a trusted neighbor, and someone who made people feel seen.

Service takes many forms, and Bill lived that truth every day. taken in Albany, New York by @paultonko

New York voters showed up last week and selected an incredible slate of progressive leaders in the primary elections, including Sarah Rogerson for New York's State Senate! Huge congratulations, Sarah!

Learn more about Sarah's vision here ➡️ sarahfornysenate.com

I am deeply inspired by last week’s energy and am ready work with Sarah to keep this momentum rolling into the fall. Together, we are going to work tirelessly to engage our communities, flip this critical seat blue, and ensure the Capital Region has a state senator completely dedicated to public service.

Let’s deliver a win this November. 💙 #NYPolitics #DemocracyInAction #NYSenate #NY20 by @paultonko

What a spectacular day celebrating the vibrant culture, rich heritage, and enduring spirit of our Filipino-American community! 🇵🇭✨

It was wonderful to catch up with so many friends and community leaders throughout the day, and an honor to speak to everyone from the main stage about the vital contributions Filipino-Americans make to our region every single day.

Thank you to the Kalayaan Council 1521 and all the volunteers who poured their hearts into organizing such a joyous, meaningful celebration. Salamat!

Among them was Blake Gendebien for the North Country! Congratulations!

An incredible day traveling across the Capital Region to celebrate Juneteenth! ✨

Started the day in Saratoga Springs connecting with wonderful community members at the Saratoga Senior Center and the YMCA. From catching up over local history and shared stories to seeing the pure energy in the room, it was the perfect way to kick off the celebrations.

Next up, I headed down to Albany for a fantastic outdoor celebration packed with great music, community booths, and an amazing crowd coming together in the park

We wrapped up the afternoon surrounded by unmatched energy in Troy, packed houses, and fantastic conversations with friends old and new

Thank you to everyone who organized, participated, and welcomed me today. Happy Juneteenth! 🇺🇸❤️💛💚
