Since childhood, I have cherished every Thanksgiving dinner with my family, and I want everyone in my district to be able to do the same because my constituents are like family to me.After distributing turkeys to everyone in a line at my office stretching for blocks on Friday, I immediately got to work procuring even more turkeys. As far as I am concerned, I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner for the entire 38th Assembly District, and I will not allow any of my guests to go hungry.”
