An Invite to Pride

Good morning fabulous committees of the 135th,

I am reaching out today on behalf of Assemblymember Jen Lunsford, who has asked me to extend an invitation to the kids of our district to join her as she marches in the Rochester Pride Parade on Saturday, July 15th. (Parents and adults are welcome to join their kids for the parade!) If you could share this invite with your membership, we’d be extremely appreciative!

Any participating children would need to arrange for their own transportation and plan to meet Assemblymember Lunsford at our designated area (TBD) and then they would march along the parade route together. Details will be provided upon RSVPing.

If you and your family are interested in joining the Assemblymember for Pride, kindly send your RSVP to rosenfelda@nyassembly.gov by Monday, June 17th.

If you or any of your members have questions, do not hesitate to reach out! We hope to see you at Pride 🙂

Statement from the Mendon Democratic Town Leader

Regarding the recent disturbing behavior from our District Attorney: This is not a political position I take. It transcends party lines.

I urge everyone to view the entire video (embedded above).

Our elected officials should be held to a higher standard, or at least the lawful standard required of us all. The excuse of having a bad day is not good enough. It undermines the authority of the office and of the police so many make lip-service to support.

Without detailing what is on the video, suffice to say, that her behavior is arrogant, insulting, and abusive. It is, in simplest terms, unacceptable and she should resign.

This behavior would not be tolerated coming from anyone else and should not be tolerated by her.

Best,
Terry Daniele

A Successful Arbor Day Festival

Thanks to Carol Barnett—the driver in the Rochester Lifestyle Institute—and Mendon Democrats. Also, thanks to Robert Withers and Byron Rubin for taking time to pass on information to the Honeoye falls community regarding a plant based diet and the positive impact it could have on our Mother Earth. Local events like our Arbor Day Festival build our grass-roots efforts. Thanks, everyone.
