Holding China Accountable
I was proudly appointed to the House China Task Force. China needs to be held accountable for their cover-up of the initial spread of COVID-19, and I’m focused on leading the U.S. to counter the Chinese Communist Party.
Cuomo’s COVID-19 Nursing Home Failure
I led the bipartisan call for an independent federal investigation into Cuomo’s fatal nursing home policy during COVID-19. I have spoken with several families who lost loved ones due to Cuomo’s failed nursing home policy, and I will continue to fight to hold Cuomo accountable for his actions and get answers for grieving New York […]
Hospital Pandemic Relief
I worked to secure over $165 million in funding for our North Country hospitals, including $44 million for Glens Falls Hospital. I have proudly fought to ensure that our hospitals continue to have the resources they need to care for our North Country families.
Funding Local Healthcare Facilities
I was honored to secure over $100,000 in relief for the Irongate Family Practice in Glens Falls.

Lowering Healthcare Costs

Employer-sponsored coverage is an effective and affordable option for many hardworking families in the North Country, and I will continue to work to increase access to quality, […]

Taking Care of Our First Responders
We must take care of our brave first responders, which is why I was so proud to work with the entire New York delegation to pass into law a measure that ensures those brave men and women who worked at Ground Zero following 9/11 will have the medical care they need for illnesses related to […]
