Hi everyone! I’m a NYC-based writer, recent VCFA grad, and proud wife/mother. Still figuring out my next chapter after 22 years as a registered dietitian, author/freelance writer and media spokesperson. Trying to live optimistically during these uncertain times. Look forward to connecting with you!

Republicans have also learned a hard lesson: my law firm and I fight hard for our clients. We never back down. And whether it’s on Democracy Docket’s website or before the Supreme Court, I will always stand by my four pillars, defending voting rights and free and fair elections.

@governor.ny.gov Hi! Tried to leave you a message at 15184748390, but it said there are delays of up to 90 minutes, and it wouldn’t allow me to leave a message. Will this be remedied soon? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

📝 Today’s Letter from an American reminds us: democracy isn’t lost in a grand coup. It’s bartered away in glittering rooms. If we don’t defend it—locally, nationally, globally—it will vanish like smoke through careless fingers.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.
