He’s brought in profits for himself, while looting the pockets of hard-working families.

This was really One Big Ugly Bill to make life harder for working families while making life easier for billionaire CEOs and corporate special interests.

Trump and Republicans traded basic needs for billionaire greed.

Well-maintained infrastructure is critical to increase safety, improve the flow of traffic, and enhance mobility. This project is a win for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, and all of Westchester.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law we passed is paving the way for safer roads and more jobs in Westchester County! I am thrilled to be announcing that Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow will receive $25 million in federal funding to…

198,000 New York families, kids, and seniors across Western New York depend on SNAP to put food on the table. But last year, Republicans passed the largest cut to SNAP in history, forcing Western New York counties and their taxpayers to…

A Republican Farm Bill that abandons hungry families is not a serious proposal. I urge Republicans, especially New York House Republicans, to come back to the table and write a Farm Bill that actually meets the moment: supporting farmers…

That’s why I’m here today to announce that I will NOT support a Farm Bill that does not at least provide more time for states and counties to prepare to shoulder the cost of SNAP.

Now, Republicans want to move forward with a Farm Bill that would do nothing for hungry families or the counties. The Republicans’ plan will immediately blow a $250,000 bill in the Orleans County budget, and counties across the country…

135,000 New York families, kids, and seniors across the Rochester-Finger Lakes region depend on SNAP to put food on the table. But last year, Republicans passed the largest cut to SNAP in history, forcing Rochester-Finger Lakes counties…

Because so many DoD civilian employees are veterans themselves, ending collective bargaining at the department effectively leaves a workforce that previously served in uniform with fewer tools to advocate for fair treatment in their…

I will be fighting nonstop for my legislation in this year’s NDAA to roll back President Trump’s executive order and to restore and protect our federal workforce’s right to collectively bargain.

Stripping these devoted civil servants of their collective bargaining rights undermines not only their workplace protections, but also the stability and morale of the civilian workforce that underpins our national defense.

Attacking union rights is a slap in the face to hardworking civilian employees here in the Mohawk Valley DFAS and AFRL and across New York.

This legislation will provide vital new investment to bring manufacturing in critical industries like microelectronics and batteries back from overseas to communities like the Southern Tier, creating new jobs and helping prevent cost…

That’s why I’m proud to announce my new legislation—the Make More in America Act—to expand American manufacturing capacity in critical industries that China is trying to control.

With well over $100 billion in new major chip projects starting across Upstate New York, it’s more important than ever for students to receive hands-on training for jobs in the semiconductor industry.

Pride Month is a time to celebrate and remember all the activists and trailblazers who have fought for LGBTQ+ rights and the progress we have made.

I’m looking forward to building on my work meeting with business leaders in Japan to strengthen existing partnerships, attract new investment and continue promoting Illinois on a global stage.

I’ve seen firsthand how these investments help create jobs, support farmers and grow our economy back home.

With our existing investments and strong leadership at the state level, Illinois is as strong as ever and the perfect place for more investments and international business expansion from our partners in Asia.

Thanks to the chaos and confusion from the Trump Administration, there’s a lot of uncertainty abroad in about investing in America’s economy right now—I’m traveling to Japan to provide another perspective.

Article I of the Constitution vests the power of the purse in Congress, which Congress has historically exercised by appropriating taxpayer dollars through federal grants to fund critical programs, including to protect public safety…

Ultimately, these changes will make it harder for grant recipients to apply for and manage federal funds – undermining public safety, public health, economic competitiveness, and the government’s ability to address rising costs.
