Senator Kirsten Gillibrand says the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will require more heating assistance for families this winter.
New York’s other senator Kirsten Gillibrand says anyone who played any role in the violence must be held responsible.
The truth is we have to have accountability. All those who committed the violence and the riots have to be brought to justice.
