RESULTS

In her four terms, Chairwoman Elise has delivered real results for her community. Her Bipartisan effort have led to jobs, better health care, veterans benefits, and protections for our rights.

Conservation Legislation to Protect Our Environment

I helped pass bipartisan legislation that permanently authorized the Land and Water Conservation Fund. I have been a consistent advocate for the Land and Water Conservation Fund since my first term in Congress,  and this bipartisan legislation will positively and significantly impact NY-21 for many years to come.

Protecting Our River Communities

Fighting for our River Communities on Water Issues

After my advocacy, the International Joint Commissioners addressed the significant water level concerns of our River communities and began an expedited review and additional study of Plan 2014. I have heard directly from constituents impacted by rising water levels and have had the opportunity to see the flooding firsthand, and I will continue to work with the IJC, local elected officials, stakeholders, and affected constituents to ensure that we address their concerns and provide them with the support that they need.

Cutting Through Government Bureaucracy

Cutting Through Government Bureaucracy

When I heard that the Jericho Rise Wind Farm was having a difficult time getting the necessary permits, my office went to work advocating on behalf of this great project. We were pleased to work with the Army Corps of Engineers and Jericho to secure their permits and break ground on this site, which will bring more renewable energy to our district.

Combating Lyme Disease

Combating Lyme Disease

When I am speaking to a large group of constituents, I often ask the question: How many of you know someone who has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease? Virtually every hand is raised. I worked to host a Lyme Disease information session with State Senators Betty Little, Kathy Marchione, and Assemblyman Dan Stec. I also worked with Congressman Chris Gibson to include language in the 21st Century Cures bill to develop a Lyme Disease Task Force. The legislation passed the House with an overwhelming bipartisan vote.

Supporting Our Acid Rain Monitoring Program in the Adirondacks

Supporting Our Acid Rain Monitoring Program in the Adirondacks

As our community knows well, acid rain has a major impact on our economy and environment. I pushed the EPA to provide an additional $250,000 in funding for the Adirondack Lake Survey Corporation, an agency in Ray Brook that studies the impact of acid rain on the Adirondacks. We can continue the fight to protect our environmental treasures with this additional funding.
