Career politicians who are more focused on winning their next election than doing right by the folks at home. Policy set by the corporate PACs and whoever’s the highest bidder. Everyone knows it - Washington is corrupt as hell. My Drain the Swamp Act changes things: term

When Washington politicians slashed Medicaid to give billionaires another tax break, they left rural clinics like the Groton Community Health Care Center hanging on by a thread. Today I sat down with the staff at Groton and heard firsthand about the challenges they’re facing as

While foreign-owned utility companies like NYSEG & Central Hudson are raking in record profits and sending millions overseas, folks in Upstate New York are rationing medicine and picking up a second job or extra shifts just to keep the lights on. It’s robbery. I pressed

The deck is stacked against working people, and it’s stacked in favor of the corporations and special interests who buy influence with politicians in Washington. For a dairy farmer in Valatie or a family living on Birdsall Street who don’t have armies of lobbyists or corporate

When workers vote to form a union, they deserve a fair shot at a fair contract — not months or years of corporate delay. That is exactly what my bill with @DonaldNorcross, the Faster Labor Contracts Act, takes on. And it just passed the House. This bill helps workers secure the

NY-19 is home to some of the best farmers markets in the country. I’m proud that the Farm Bill reauthorizes the Seniors’ Farmers Market Nutrition Program to make sure that everyone in our community has access to nutritious, locally-grown food.

I grew up keeping score at B-Mets games, and it took me years to realize most people eat hot dogs at the ballpark and not spiedies. Tonight I'm taking that 607 pride to the Congressional Baseball Game, where I couldn't be more thrilled to represent @RumblePoniesBB and all of

There's a direct line between the corruption in Washington and the tough conversations families are having at kitchen tables all across Upstate New York. Soaring utility bills. Healthcare costs out of control. The economy is rigged in favor of powerful special interests who buy

The entire Copake community is united in the fight to stop the Shepherd’s Run industrial solar project – and I’m proud to stand with them. I refuse to let a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in Albany overrule our neighbors and hand over beautiful Upstate farmland to out-of-state

I came to Congress to take on the corrupt political establishment and to fix the system that has been rigged against Upstate New York for far too long. I’m excited to introduce the Drain the Swamp Act with @RepGregLandsman to ban corporate PACs, end insider trading, establish

Trump said he would drain the swamp. Instead, he’s been the most corrupt president in American history. So, we’re stepping up with @RepRileyNY – offering Congress and the country the most comprehensive anti-corruption bill ever…the Drain the Swamp Act.

Nothing beats a summer day with the kids by the lake, and there’s nothing worse than showing up to find swimming closed because of harmful algae blooms. With algae levels breaking records on Cayuga Lake, I made sure that this year’s Farm Bill prioritizes research into how we can

If you put your life on the line for our country, you deserve every penny of the benefits you earned. But right now, a Washington loophole is taxing our wounded warriors out of their retirement pay. That’s why I’m fighting to force a vote on the Major Richard Star Act, which
