Demand for food assistance is higher now than during the pandemic, and President Trump has cut programs that support our farmers, food banks, and school meals. We must protect the programs and organizations, like Food Bank of Central New York, that help feed everyone in our community.

A great day - and a brighter future - in the Mohawk Valley! Chobani's $1.2 billion investment to build a state-of-the-art food production facility at Griffiss will be felt throughout NY-22 with 1,000 new jobs and a major boost to local dairy producers.

Great to spend time with former Rep. Matthew Cartwright at his alma mater Hamilton College where he's helping a new generation understand how to make the world a better place. The primary topic students wanted to discuss was how all Americans can work together to uphold the constitution.

Elon Musk calls Social Security a 'Ponzi Scheme." He's wrong - it's a critical program that we pay into for financial security, and I'm committed to protecting it. Did you know that in NY-22, over 175,000 people receive benefits - including seniors, children, and people with disabilities?

Families caring for someone with a disability often have to cut back on work or leave the workforce entirely. That means lower household income and greater reliance on support systems like SNAP—not out of choice, but out of necessity. My remarks at today’s House Committee on Agriculture hearing:

The $7.25 federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 - the longest stretch in US history. I'm proud to co-sponsor the Raise the Wage Act of 2025 so we can give 22 million workers a much-needed raise by lifting the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $17 by 2030.

Trump’s EO stripping dedicated civil servants of collective bargaining rights is union-busting at the highest level. He’s targeting the people who send your tax refund and social security checks, who fight crime, and who provide services for veterans and farmers. Read my full statement here:

Women make just 75¢ for every dollar paid to a man. In a year, that adds up to $14,000 in lost wages. The wage gap hurts women’s ability to contribute to our economy and save for their future.
