From Lake George to the Saint Lawrence Seaway to the pristine waters of Lake Champlain and all of the beautiful mountains and maple trees that run between, my district is home to many ecological treasures. Many of these natural wonders…

There was no coherent strategy toward Syria, and I think that is clearly still the case today.

Last year my district was the home of a manhunt that captured the attention of the entire Nation. For almost a month, local, State, and Federal law enforcement agents and corrections officers made Franklin County, New York, their home as…

It is incredibly important as policy makers to reach out to our female constituents.

We need to change that as an institution. I am, you know, very concerned that unfortunately we will not have the best and brightest wanting to run for office at the local, state, or federal level.

It is not only the national debt which is going to be a huge challenge for my generation, but it is also our savings crisis.

I think greater transparency in the job opportunities after you graduate, what the median income over the next 5 or 10 years, or even a lifetime would be, I think we would have Millennials looking into to pursue higher education degrees…

I also think we need to rethink how we provide higher education today.

I think our national debt and our budget crisis in this country is a generational issue.

There is no doubt that the issue of our national debt will rest on our generation's shoulders.

One of the bills I have introduced is Flexible Pell, year-round Pell so that you not only can apply as a student for fall and spring funding, but that crucial summertime where you may want to continue pursuing your education so that you…

Can security cooperation be a substitute for U.S. forces? And the reason I am asking that question is I am concerned that some may assume that security cooperation can replace U.S. forces as a justification for the further drawdown.

When the NDAA comes before the President's desk, I hope he realizes a veto threat could threaten the safety of our Nation's servicemembers and our country's defense. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting and voting for the NDAA.

This mandate takes away the ability for employees to choose coverage that best meets their needs.

Just getting access, getting connectivity remains a real issue.

Just this past Monday the Iraqi Government declared that it was beginning a major military operation to retake western Anbar province from ISIS. This area of operation, including major cities of Ramadi and Fallujah, is the same region…

As Americans across the country know, my district was the unfortunate home of a recent manhunt that captured the attention of our country. For more than 3 weeks, two killers remained at large in our north country community after escaping…

I strongly support H.R. 160, the Protect Medical Innovation Act introduced by Mr. Paulsen, and in March I was proud to lead a bipartisan letter by 43 freshman lawmakers to Speaker Boehner calling for a vote to repeal the medical device…

While I will support this en bloc package, I stand in opposition to the provision to delay the transfer of Apaches from the National Guard to the Active Army. In committee, Chairman Wilson of South Carolina and I worked very closely to…

I would like to thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Dent) and his staff for allowing this important discussion of an east coast missile defense site, as well as the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner) for his continued efforts and…

I represent Fort Drum, which is in New York's 21st District in northern New York in Jefferson County, and our health care is provided off post to our service men and women.

I agree with your concerns about sequestration. I have been a strong voice against the sequester in terms of the long-term impact on our readiness. And frankly, I believe it puts our troops' lives at risk.
