Proud grandfather, Democrat, and Congressman representing NY25. Ranking Member Committee on House Administration, Vice Ranking Member House Appropriations Committee. Black belt. Go Cardinals.
We may be out of the government shutdown, but Republicans in Congress are still refusing to make progress.

House Democrats keep showing up, ready to work for the families we represent.

Once again, Donald Trump's priorities are aligned with his own interests, not the good of the American people.
Trump pardons major drug traffickers despite his anti-drug rhetoric
The president has granted clemency to about 100 people accused of drug-related crimes during his two terms in office, a Post analysis shows.

Rural families and small businesses deserve the high-speed internet access modern life requires.

Today, I was proud to join County Executive Bello, Spectrum, our government partners, and local businesses to announce a new investment to help expand connectivity for our rural neighbors.

Hardworking families are paying the price of corruption in our government and the cost is too high.

Leader Jeffries said it on Pod Save America, it's time to make DC work for Americans, not the other way around.

Today I joined staff and students at Vertus High School for a tour of their school and to discuss the work they're doing to prepare the next generation for success.

Education gives young people in our community the opportunity to thrive, and I'm proud to support their work.

In a matter of days, millions of Americans will face increased health insurance premiums that could price them out of coverage.

Republicans don't seem to be concerned about this, but it should be our top priority.

Today is the 84th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

We honor and remember those who paid the ultimate price in defense of our nation that day. May we never forget their courage, their honor, or their sacrifice.

Grateful to this year's distinguished interview panel for our service academy nomination process.

It is my honor to nominate students from our community each year for entry to our prestigious military service academies.

Today, in 2019, the House passed the Voting Rights Advancement Act.

The Senate failed to pass this key legislation and today, we're still seeing attacks on our electoral system. As top Dem on the Committee on House Administration, I'm fighting to protect every eligible voter's fundamental right.

Donald Trump's decision to cut cancer research funding is unacceptable.

We should be investing in lifesaving research, and positioning the United States as a leader, not running from a day when we could actually be free of cancer.

Today, we recognize the 70th anniversary of the start of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and honor the legacy & courage of these activists.

As top Dem on the Committee on House Administration, I know our fight for justice is not over, and I'll keep fighting to ensure equitable access to the ballot box.

Reckless tariffs have had a profound impact throughout upstate New York, including in Rochester.

I talked about how this is hurting our community on @meidastouch.com

This is the most corrupt administration we have seen in United States History.

Our government is meant to serve the people, not billionaire campaign donors.

Costs continue to rise, and more and more hardworking families are unable to make ends meet.

Tackling the affordability crisis has to be our top priority. We need to bring down daily costs and protect access to affordable healthcare, and it can't wait.

The Trump administration has not been transparent about their strikes on boats in the Caribbean.

President Trump claims to be focused on combating drug trafficking; instead, he's chosen to pardon a convicted drug lord.

It was great to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our outstanding DC fall interns today.

Many years ago, I began my career in public service as an intern—it is a valuable and rewarding experience. I know these talented students will go on to do extraordinary things!

How could a president who continues to profit millions of dollars off his elected office possibly understand the affordability crisis Americans are facing?

Donald Trump can't.

The most important title in a democracy isn't President or Congressman—it's citizen.

It's on all of us to stay engaged and stand up for the future we want to see.

As Frederick Douglass said, "The life of a nation is secure only when the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous."

My priority is bringing those values back to our government.

On Rosa Parks Day, we remember the courage of a civil rights icon who fought tirelessly to ensure an America for all.

As Ranking Member of the Committee on House Administration, I'm working to carry on that fight by protecting every eligible voter's access to the ballot box.
