I rise today to condemn the Iranian regime as it threatens the United States and our ally Israel. Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terror, bankrolling the heinous terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. The regime…

I’ve made my position clear from the start and it has not changed: Zohran Mamdani’s policies are not the right direction for New York.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani is too extreme to lead New York City.

I just didn’t think that New York would elect someone who is a self-proclaimed socialist to lead the city that is the global epicenter of capitalism. So, I was very surprised.

I rise today to raise the alarm on Senate Republicans' plan to rip Medicaid from 1.5 million New Yorkers, including children, seniors, and veterans on Long Island. Mr. Speaker, Medicaid is not a luxury. It is a lifeline. In Nassau County…

I rise today to address the cruel rescission package that passed the House strictly on partisan lines. Let me be clear: This legislation is a shameful, backwards attempt to cancel $9.8 billion in funding that had already been passed into…

I rise today to honor Nancy Rosen Stern on what would have been her 60th birthday. Nancy was a proud Long Islander who lived on the south shore her entire life. She graduated from Lawrence High School and raised her family in Hewlett, just…

In recognition of National Police Week, and on behalf of New York's Fourth Congressional District, I am proud to stand here today to honor our brave men and women in law enforcement. Every day, our officers are on the front lines of the…

I rise to demand that Congress restore the full State and local tax deduction which would cut taxes for Nassau County residents. On Long Island, we pay some of the highest taxes in the country, and we send far more to Washington than we…

This number is nothing short of insulting to hardworking Long Islanders.

Today, I rise to address the unfair double taxation that my constituents are facing due to the State and local tax deduction cap. Hardworking families across Long Island and across our State and many other States already face some of the…

Today, I am so proud to honor Isaac Samuelson, a young leader from Long Island and a member of Boy Scout Troop 613 based in West Hempstead. Isaac spearheaded a project to preserve over 20 years' worth of religious texts, prayer books, and…

Across our country, women of color continue to experience devastating maternal healthcare inequities. As a proud mother of four children, I know firsthand how critical access to quality healthcare is for expectant mothers. However, far too…

I have the privilege of representing thousands of 9/11 first responders and survivors who live in New York's Fourth Congressional District. For years, they have fought to get access to the healthcare that they desperately need and…

Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 40. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Murphy). The question is on the passage of the bill. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appeared to have…

In the 2 years since the Dobbs decision, we have seen nothing short of an all-out assault on our reproductive rights and our reproductive freedoms, including a steady march to pass a national abortion ban coupled with efforts to roll back…

It is an honor to speak on the House floor today representing New York's Fourth Congressional District, and I am ready to get to work to deliver solutions for the issues that matter most to Long Island. We need to address the…

In my letter to Biden, I said that New Yorkers should be reimbursed for the costs we've had to expend to clothe and feed and house people who are sent here.

I criticized the Biden administration when 40,000 migrants were bused to New York and our mayor was asking for help, and they said they were going to send guidance. We didn't need guidance. We needed resources.
