- I grew up keeping score at B-Mets games, and it took me years to realize most people eat hot dogs at the ballpark and not spiedies. Tonight I'm taking that 607 pride to the Congressional Baseball Game, where I couldn't be more thrilled to represent @RumblePoniesBB and all of
- There's a direct line between the corruption in Washington and the tough conversations families are having at kitchen tables all across Upstate New York. Soaring utility bills. Healthcare costs out of control. The economy is rigged in favor of powerful special interests who buy
00:00 - The entire Copake community is united in the fight to stop the Shepherd’s Run industrial solar project – and I’m proud to stand with them. I refuse to let a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in Albany overrule our neighbors and hand over beautiful Upstate farmland to out-of-state

The 16 reforms in our Drain the Swamp Act will end corruption in Washington. This one bill will clean up the federal government once and for all.
00:00 - I came to Congress to take on the corrupt political establishment and to fix the system that has been rigged against Upstate New York for far too long. I’m excited to introduce the Drain the Swamp Act with @RepGregLandsman to ban corporate PACs, end insider trading, establishTrump said he would drain the swamp.

- Our families shouldn't have to worry about crumbling rail bridges when they drive down Water or State Street. Norfolk Southern made a promise to the City of Binghamton to make these critical repairs, and it’s time for them to deliver. I'm standing with Senators Gillibrand and
- Out-of-state corporate developers shouldn’t get to steamroll our small towns and pave over beautiful Upstate farmland. The entire Copake community is united to fight the Shepherd’s Run industrial solar project, but unelected Albany bureaucrats are trying to overrule them and push
00:00 - Upstate New Yorkers can’t afford to foot the bill for another forever-war in the Middle East while they’re already getting crushed by the cost of groceries, gas, housing, and electricity - and they shouldn’t have to. Bring our troops home.
- There’s nothing more Upstate New York than our apples and apple growers, but a severe spring frost has put even iconic operations like Saunderskill Farms in Accord at risk of losing half their crop. If an 11th-generation family farm is feeling the pain, every grower is. That’s
00:00 - If we want to keep Upstate agriculture strong, we need to invest in the next generation of farmers. I’m proud that my bipartisan Future Farmers Act passed the House as part of the Farm Bill to make it easier for new and beginning farmers to access financial support, jumpstart
