Political decisions like this will leave families with even higher utility bills. Cutting funding for tech that increases supply and lowers costs is pouring gas on the fire for so many already struggling to make ends meet.

In the face of such darkness, we must stand united against extremism in all its forms. May we never forget, and may we have the courage to build a safer and more just future.

We remember each life and each family shattered, and we stand in solidarity with all those who still carry the pain of that day. 47 hostages still remain in the hands of a terror group and we must press for them to be returned home.

Two years ago today over 1,200 lives — men, women and children — to include 46 Americans were taken in one of the most brutal terror attacks this world has seen.

Growing up around women like my Mom and Aunt taught me that leadership is about hard work and service to your community. They are the example of service that led me to West Point, and it's the same spirit I’ll bring to Congress.

My Aunt founded Fred Cook Septic with my Uncle Fred 50 years ago in Montrose. Together, they built an incredible small business that has served local families for decades—keeping homes, businesses, and towns healthy and safe.

I got family time this weekend at the Garrison Craft Fair with my Mom and Aunt. These two women have taught me what service to your community truly means.

Pound Ridge knows how to throw a party. So great to be at the Pound Ridge Harvest Festival with great people. Events like these are what make the Hudson Valley so special.

I'm humbled by the momentum this campaign is building. Together, we raised over $500,000 this past quarter from thousands of people across this district, state, and country ready to bring change to the Hudson Valley. We’ve got more work to do, but I’m honored to be in the fight with you all. LFG

If Congress doesn’t act, millions could see their healthcare premiums double. That’s a direct hit to families’ wallets and their economic security.

Meanwhile, Mike Lawler is too busy playing political games to fight for the people he represents.

The best part of the campaign trail is getting to spend quality time with leaders focused on delivering for their communities. I appreciate Councilwoman Joyce White’s leadership in Cortlandt and look forward to working together to deliver results for the Hudson Valley.

Trump has slashed funding for our police and local responders. Playing politics with our first responders will put every family in the Hudson Valley at risk. And Mike Lawler is just rolling over for this disaster.

The men and women in uniform know that. It’s tragic that our President and SECDEF don’t.

I served 16 years in the Army, deploying 6 times overseas serving under both Democrat and Republican Administrations. As a member of the military, your loyalty is to the constitution, not to a politician or political party.

What we saw yesterday from Hegseth and Trump was nothing short of political theater, a disgrace to the brave men and women who are fighting everyday for the safety and security of America.

I served in combat zones like Iraq and Afghanistan -- our own cities are not training grounds for our military. Every patriot and proud American must stand up against this.

I wore the uniform for 16 years, fighting to defend and protect America and everyone in it. This morning’s political stunt by Hegseth and Trump was an embarrassment to the strength of our Military and our country.

Trump: "San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles...That's a war too. It's a war from within...I told Pete, we should use some of these cities as training grounds for our military — national guard, but military. We're going into Chicago very soon."

Hey Mike Lawler - isn’t this the consulting firm you co-founded supporting Ciattarelli’s campaign?

The federal government being weaponized to illegally release an unredacted personnel file to political opponents is un-American.

Archives released too much of Mikie Sherrill's military record to ally of her opponent in N.J. governor's race

The National Archives admitted a technician had erred in releasing Rep. Mikie Sherill's "entire record."
