A Mother’s Day Message from Latoya LeGrand
Happy Mother’s Day from Latoya LeGrand!
As a proud mother of five, I know firsthand the strength, patience, and boundless love it takes to raise and uplift our children.
Today, I honor all the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and caregivers who pour their hearts into their families and communities every single day.
You are the backbone, the nurturer, the protector, and the teacher — and you deserve to be celebrated not just today, but every day.
Wishing you a day filled with joy, peace, and all the love you so generously give to others.
Motherhood Shaping Leadership
For LeGrand, motherhood has profoundly shaped her approach to community leadership and her campaign platform, which emphasizes family support, education, and community safety.
“Being a mother has taught me that we must build a Queens where every family has the resources they need to thrive,” LeGrand shared during a recent community gathering. “From affordable childcare to quality schools and safe neighborhoods, these aren’t just campaign promises—they’re necessities I understand personally as a mother raising children in this district.”
LeGrand’s campaign has highlighted the disproportionate challenges faced by mothers in the community, particularly single mothers and those from historically underserved backgrounds.
