Saunderskill Farm in Accord is the oldest continuously operating farm in New York State, with roots dating back to before the American Revolution. It’s more than just a place to buy delicious local produce and fresh cider donuts. It’s part of Upstate New York history. But like

As a dad, keeping my boys safe matters more than anything else. I’m fighting to end America’s gun violence epidemic because our kids’ biggest worry should be their math test, not a school shooting. In Congress, I’m proud to support commonsense measures to strengthen background

For too long, big corporations have busted unions, stalled negotiations, and denied workers the fair contracts they’ve earned. My Faster Labor Contracts Act, which passed the House last week, would crack down on corporations that drag out negotiations, strengthen unions, and

If it didn't come from a cow, don't label it like it did. I just introduced a bipartisan bill to fix misleading dairy labels, because our Upstate farmers deserve a fair shot.

Seniors and people with disabilities shouldn’t be punished just for trying to save a little money. Right now, out-of-date Washington rules cut off vital SSI benefits if you have more than $2,000 in savings - a cap that hasn't changed since the 1980s. I’m working to fix this

Grandpa was raised on a dairy farm, served in the U.S. Army, then spent his career in the IBM factories. He passed his work ethic down to my dad, and my greatest hope is to pass it down to my boys, too. To all the dads out there, you’ll always be a father in my book, and here’s

Today, we mark the end of America’s darkest chapter. On June 19th, 1865, news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. 161 years later, let’s come together to celebrate freedom and continue the fight to build a more perfect union.

Upstate New Yorkers are already getting crushed by out-of-control utility bills, and now electricity is projected to hit record highs this summer. Meanwhile, the utility monopolies are raking in record profits. It’s BS. My plan: 🚫 Ban foreign ownership of utilities 🛑 Block CEO

No one should be punished for working hard and saving up. But right now, outdated SSI rules make it nearly impossible for seniors and folks with disabilities to get a job, build a cushion, and become more independent without losing their safety net. That’s completely backwards.

Growing up in Endicott, I saw firsthand what happens when politicians sell us out and put corporate interests over the needs of working families: plants close down, jobs get shipped overseas, and our communities suffer. It’s time to fix the corrupt political system that has been

In the richest country on earth, no one in our community should ever go hungry. It was great to speak with Bread for the World and advocates from across Upstate New York, and an honor to receive their Legislator of the Year Award. Let's keep working together to support our

For too long, big corporations have gotten away with dragging their feet in union negotiations and deploying delay tactics designed to wear workers down. This blatant union-busting needs to stop. My Faster Labor Contracts Act – which passed the House last week – would require

Upstate families are stretched to the breaking point and part of the reason our costs keep going up is because utility monopolies are sending more and more money to their corporate overlords sitting in boardrooms across the Atlantic. That’s money that should be staying in our
