Yonkers Insider: Statement from New York State Assemblyman Nader Sayegh 90th District.

Friends,

As we near the end of legislative session, my colleagues and I have spent long, tireless hours advancing meaningful legislation to uplift and protect our communities and our state. I’m happy to announce the passage of my Bill A7802-A, which requires harness racetrack locations, like Yonkers MGM Raceway, awarded a gaming facility license to maintain live racing activity. Additionally, the passage of my legislation A4713, will allow utility companies to maintain an 800 toll number for customers to contact in the event of power outages. Outside the chamber, I’ve continued showing up across the district—joining Pride celebrations, honoring Puerto Rican and Hispanic heritage, and standing alongside advocates at events supporting survivors of domestic violence and those with special needs and disabilities.

These past two weeks, I was proud to introduce resolutions recognizing Ukrainian American Heritage Day on August 24, 2025, and Meditation Day on December 21, 2025. I also supported several important measures that passed in the Assembly Chamber, including resolutions recognizing September as Urological Health Awareness Month, June 12, 2025, as Women Veterans Recognition Day, December 3, 2025, as International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Dystonia Awareness Month, November 8, 2025, as Lung Cancer Screening Awareness Day, August 11–17, 2025, as Puerto Rican Heritage Week, November 3, 2025, as Panamanian Independence Day, September 2025 as Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month, and July 20, 2025, as Colombian Independence Day.

As always, please feel free to reach out to my office with any concerns or questions.

Nader J. Sayegh

Gun violence affects us in so many ways homicide, domestic violence, mass shootings, and suicide. Perhaps the most underreported truth is that unsecured guns cause a lot of these deaths. And my story, like so many others, starts with loss.

Take a walk back with me.

My godson, Ka'Saun O'Shane Cain, was killed on the streets of Mount Vernon, New York, in 2009. It was a senseless loss. Then, on February 2, 2012, my student Ramarley Graham was shot by the NYPD inside his apartment in front of his grandmother and six-year-old brother. He was unarmed. The officer stated he had seen the "butt of a gun," but no weapon was ever found.

Ramarley was a quiet, gentle soul. I knew his mother, Constance "Lilmiss" Malcolm, from my time working at Young Scholars Academy. All of that was erased in that one instant. It reminded me that violence was all around on the streets, in our homes, and even in the hands of those who are meant to protect us.

I began attending meetings as a member of Moms Demand Action after Sandy Hook in 2012 and Ramarley's murder. I sat along with Mayor Ernie Davis and other mothers like me who had lost children to violence. What I heard was stories of cold cases, silence, and pain. It pushed me to do even more. The only thing that connected each tragedy? Guns.

Moms Demand Action is pushing for common-sense gun safety laws. Here are some demands:

(1) Hold Glock Responsible for enabling illegal machine gun distribution through their conversion device, the "Glock switch."

(2) Implement Merchant Category Codes for gun stores to detect suspicious gun and ammunition sales.

(3) Educate the Public about New York's safe storage of firearms law through NYSED materials.

(4) Implement the SAVE Act to fund anti-violence education in schools.

(5) Expand Ghost Gun Regulation and eliminate loopholes that exempt 3D-printed and homemade weapons from regulation.

(6) Reform Lockdown Drills in schools by reducing frequency and mandating trauma-informed training for teachers.

Thank You Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund for your endorsement.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mike Khader Receives Endorsement from Westchester Putnam Building & Construction Trades Council:

Yonkers, NY - The campaign for Yonkers City Council President candidate Mike Khader is proud to announce the endorsement of the Westchester Putnam Building & Construction Trades Council, which represents over 31,000 union members across both counties.

This endorsement comes on the heels of support from the Hispanic Democrats of Westchester, marking the only two political and labor organizations to endorse Khader in this race - a powerful signal that key voices who understand the needs of everyday Yonkers residents are standing with him.

“Our endorsement of Mike Khader reflects his proven track record of advocating for safe, well-paid middle-class jobs and his commitment to ensuring that the voice of the construction industry is heard at the city level,” said the Westchester Putnam Building & Construction Trades Council.

Khader’s campaign continues to gain momentum from grassroots organizations and local leaders who believe in his vision for a fairer, safer, and more inclusive Yonkers.

“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the Westchester Putnam Building & Construction Trades Council,” said Khader. “These are the men and women who build our city from the ground up. I’ve always stood with organized labor, and as City Council President, I’ll make sure Yonkers invests in good-paying union jobs and gives hard working families the voice they deserve.”

Khader, the former City Council President and a lifelong Yonkers resident, is running on a platform of transparency, community investment, and leadership that puts people over politics and fighting the cost of living crisis.

Early voting begins this Saturday, June 14th, and Election Day is Tuesday, June 24th.
