The Public Record
Chuck Schumer is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from New York since 1999. A member of the Democratic Party, he has held the position of Senate Majority Leader since January 2021, making him one of the most prominent figures in the U.S. Senate. Schumer previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999, representing New York's 9th congressional district. Throughout his career, he has focused on issues such as healthcare, infrastructure, and economic development, often advocating for policies that benefit working families and promote social justice.

While Rochester families deal with the impacts of a trade war he started, President Trump is playing games with a map.
This is a major win that will strengthen the base’s energy security, protect our Army from grid failures, and reduce strain on the local power grid.
Trump’s disastrous war in Iran has accomplished nothing but the depletion of American stockpiles and the weakening of our military standing. That’s what I call an abject failure.
Inflation increasing. The Iran war raging on with no end in sight. A trade war with Canada. And what does Trump want? To rename Lake Ontario.
That is why Fort Drum is perfectly poised to lead the next frontier in nuclear power, and I commend the Army for recognizing this and selecting Fort Drum.
As a steadfast supporter and fierce advocate of Fort Drum, I’m proud to announce that the Army heeded my call, selecting Fort Drum to spearhead the deployment of nuclear microreactor technology in the North Country.
It’s a pathetic attempt at distraction, and it’s working families who are paying the price.
He’s escalating his reckless tariff war with our closest trading partner and ally, which will continue to drive up costs for Upstate New York families, seniors and small businesses.
Instead of lowering costs and cancelling his damaging tariffs, Trump is doubling down on a juvenile effort to rename one of the Great Lakes.
The goal of our task force is to ensure that every vote counts, and every American can participate in our democracy without coercion, intimidation or threats from Donald Trump or anyone else.
I’m proud to announce that USDA has heeded my call to purchase Concord grape juice. This is a win for Upstate farmers, families, and New York’s economy. I’ll keep fighting for our growers and a stronger domestic food supply chain.
Today, because of my CHIPS and Science Law, Upstate New York is beaming and boasting that the ‘Best is Yet to Come.’ Optimism, confidence, a growing population, home appreciation, and jobs-jobs-jobs. Having a chance to achieve this dream…
The CHIPS and Science Act is giving Upstate New York the opportunity to do what no single community could accomplish alone. By working together with our partners across Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, we are creating opportunities for…
By the end of the decade, it is estimated that one in four U.S.-made chips will be produced within 350 miles of Upstate New York’s Semiconductor Superhighway—more than any other region in the country.
For too long, America watched manufacturing move overseas, weakening our supply chains and leaving Upstate communities behind. That’s why I fought to pass my CHIPS & Science Act into Law with Upstate New York as my north star—because I…
Everyone knows the best Concord grapes come from Upstate New York. But when Refresco cancelled contracts with many grape farmers earlier this year, growers were left in a lurch with nowhere to sell their harvests. That’s why, last week, I…
It's a disgrace that the highest court in the nation is allowing Trump to put a dagger into the heart of our democracy.
From the classroom to the clinic, this innovative healthcare program will strengthen the regional healthcare system and help address critical staffing shortages," said Senator Schumer.
Trump’s chaotic trade wars are bleeding the American people dry, and now he’s coming back for more. This nonsense with Canada should have never gone into effect. It must end now.
Not even Donald Trump's self-proclaimed close friend Kim Jong-un respects him anymore
Senate Democrats will never allow the SAVE Act to pass this chamber.
I’ll keep fighting to make sure Upstate New York’s craft beverage businesses have the federal support they need to navigate these challenges and continue to strengthen local economies.
