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 cost-of-living crisis, secure our border, and give hardworking Long Islanders a middle-class tax cut by reinstating the full SALT tax deduction. These issues aren't political. The American people are counting on all of us to put our differences aside and work together to put money back in people's pockets and get things done. Madam Speaker, my constituents have been clear. They want problems solved and not political extremism on either side. I am honored to be their Congresswoman, and I look forward to working with anyone from any party who is serious about working productively to address the pressing issues that our working families face. ____________________
