I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings as you celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Gazette.

For more than two decades, Queens residents from over 45 communities have turned to the reliable pages of the Gazette for their news. The quality and trustworthy news coverage you provide is invaluable, and has played a vital role in fostering the development of greater local and political awareness throughout the borough.

I am pleased to take this opportunity to recognize Tony Barsamian and all those who have contributed to making the Gazette one of the most dependable in New York. Your commitment to providing residents with a city-oriented view of the news and promoting a more informed community is truly commendable.

Congratulations on this special milestone, and best wishes for many more years of continued success!
Sincerely,
Nydia M. Velázquez
United States Congress, 12th District
