U.S. House of Representatives

You are the newest members of that noble tradition.

Let me be clear: these attacks have no place in America.

The blessing of citizenship is one that comes with responsibilities.

To all of you who are about to take the oath of citizenship, it is an honor to be one of the first to say to you: Hello, my fellow Americans!

We urge you to help farmers confronting this affordability crisis by addressing this long-standing issue of better aligning crop insurance premiums with risk, which would have the effect of cutting premium costs for thousands of farmers.

As most farm groups have repeatedly said, crop insurance is the most important risk management tool.

We also request that once an adjustment has been made, that USDA consider refunds to those farmers for the current crop year, and make the full correction at once to avoid prolonging this overcharging.

Farmers face record costs for farm inputs, including diesel, fertilizer, seed, and equipment.

But what was one of his first decisions in the aftermath of this historic election? To choose Stephen Miller, architect of this Administration’s cruel mass deportation campaign, as his new chief of staff.

As fortunate as Tuesday was, it was only the first step. Americans made it clear they demand change, and it is up to those in Washington to give it to them.

Those results are unsurprising for anyone who has had a chance to speak to Illinois families over the past two years, who have all too often faced the brunt of the cruelty, chaos, and corruption of this Administration.

Americans, from one end of this nation to the other, exercised their right to vote last Tuesday, and in doing so, they changed the course of America and its politics for years to come.

The proposed federal cuts and the removal of key Head Start requirements would significantly weaken our program quality, reduce safety and eliminate the individualized comprehensive support services.

I’m proud to deliver this $1.2 million in federal funding in honor of our nation’s 250th anniversary so that these national treasures have the resources they need to continue attracting visitors to Upstate New York and teaching them about…

This substantial $5 million in federal funding is a win-win for our top-notch workforce and local businesses critical to our national security.

This is a major step forward toward putting into place effective measures that will reduce life-threatening collisions in high-risk areas.

I’m proud to deliver this award from my Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law to finally move forward the safety upgrades needed for the notorious Roaring Brook Road crossing in New Castle.

A whopping $107 million in federal funding is on track to make major safety improvements in Westchester County in New Castle and Chappaqua!

We must right this wrong, and I will lead the way to protect our hospitals and make health care more affordable for New Yorkers.

This is a gut punch to Western New York and Southern Tier health care, as this bill will drive up costs for consumers and hurt so many seniors, families, and children who rely on Medicaid just to survive.

When coverage disappears, people put off care, skip medications, and end up in the emergency room.

It’s cruel, un-American, and the exact opposite of everything our community stands for.

The ‘Big, Ugly Bill’ has been a disaster that has left New York families sicker, poorer, and less safe.

America’s next era of chip manufacturing is underway here in Upstate, and I can confidently say New York’s best days are ahead.
