U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand visited the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse on Monday to mark Pride Day and New Americans Day.
The senator toured pavilions and booths, visited the I Love NY Pride installation and met with groups working on LGBTQ+ equity, health care access and community support.
Gillibrand also stopped at the newly renamed Haudenosaunee Village to meet community leaders and vendors. Her visit included recognition from the Green Standard Alliance for work on cannabis policy.
Gillibrand used the appearance to continue a statewide tour focused on rising gas and grocery prices, saying higher household costs have made fair trips more expensive for New Yorkers.
