Happy New Year, #NY22! Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and healthy 2021.
Last year, President Trump signed our bipartisan bill into law to repeal the Health Insurance Tax & bring costs down for seniors on Medicare Advantage.
#COVID19 made our mission to expand access to care even more urgent. I'll keep working to get it done. uticaod.com/news/20190828/an…
Big social media companies must be held accountable for graphic content on their platforms.
We introduced #BiancasLaw to ensure no family ever has to endure the trauma the Devins family did after Bianca’s death. I'll keep working to get it passed. uticaod.com/story/news/2020/…
Let's focus on the facts. The NDAA:
✅Gives our troops a pay raise
✅Strengthens protections against Russian/Chinese cyberattacks
✅Expands health care for our troops & Veterans
I will vote to override the President's veto today because our national security comes first.
Our broadband access survey showed that more than 80% of respondents were dissatisfied with their broadband service.
That’s why we’re working with the FCC to update their broadband maps and get more #NY22 schools, small businesses, and communities online. cnyhomepage.com/news/rep-bri…

It is a disgrace that on Christmas Eve an attempt to pass an increase to $2,000 for direct stimulus payments, as President Trump has called for, was blocked by House Republican leadership.

House Republicans shot down a Democratic bid to pass President Donald Trump’s longshot, end-of-session demand for $2,000 direct payments to most Americans. apne.ws/yG1Bfkd
Pay raises for our troops and our national defense should not be dragged into a petty partisan fight.
This veto threatens jobs in our area, our national security, the crucial work done at Rome Lab, and a much-deserved pay raise for our troops - right before the holidays.

BREAKING: President Trump has vetoed annual defense policy bill, potentially setting up first override vote of his presidency. The bill affirms 3% pay raises for U.S. troops and authorizes more than $740 billion in military programs and construction.

- A 3% pay raise for our troops
- $25 million for Rome Lab
- Funding for jobs building equipment in the Southern Tier
- Protections for the men and women at DFAS in Rome
- Support for Buy American provisions like the SPOONSS Act

Rome Lab and the Mohawk Valley play a crucial role in keeping our country safe. That’s why I worked with both parties to ensure our annual national defense legislation included a significant investment in Rome Lab and CNY’s defense industry. brindisi.house.gov/media/pre…
The hardworking union members in Ilion deserve a quality wage & their union-negotiated benefits.
New Remington’s attempts to bust the union & deny these men & women their benefits is unacceptable. @MineWorkers Local 717 have my full support in this fight.

We cannot lose focus, #NY22. COVID hospitalizations across New York State are at the highest level since May.
We can lower our case numbers by wearing masks, washing our hands, and getting tested for COVID as needed. We’re all in this together. binghamtonhomepage.com/news/…
