Last week I met a man at Home Depot grabbing every extra shift he can just to cover rent, groceries, and crushing healthcare bills and he’s still falling behind.

This budget does nothing for him. I voted no because working people shouldn’t suffer while billionaires cash in.

House Republicans jammed through a spending bill that decimates rural hospitals and healthcare.

They refuse to work with Democrats to undo these cuts and are now dragging us towards a shutdown.

I'll work with anyone to keep our hospitals open and do right by Upstate New Yorkers.

The FCC strong-arming a private company to pull a comedian off the air is clearly unconstitutional, and the courts need to say so.

Foreign corporations who own our utility companies are raking in record profits while Upstate New Yorkers are getting crushed by utility bills.

Today I introduced the Keep The Lights Local Act to ban foreign corporations from owning our utility companies.

We're taking our power back–literally.

The system is rigged.

Utility monopolies like NYSEG & their foreign owners cash in.

Regulators roll over.

Families pay the price.

That’s why we’re fighting back.

Thank you to the American Economic Liberties Project for joining us in the fight.

GOP budget cuts would decimate rural hospitals and leave communities like ours without care, all so billionaires can get another handout. It's going to cost lives.

I’m fighting back with $500 million in emergency aid, because no family should have to drive hours for a doctor. Not now. Not ever.

In Upstate New York, we made the punchcards that turned the dream of Social Security into reality.

I'll be damned if we're going to let extremists in Washington tear that dream away now.

I'm proud to stand with @schumer.senate.gov and Broome County seniors to fight for every penny they're owed.

When corporations take advantage of a crisis by hiking prices, that's not the free market—it’s a shake-down.

Wall Street hates my bill to ban price gouging during emergencies, but I didn't come to Congress to protect their bottom line. I’m here to fight for Upstate New Yorkers.

Using a crisis to hike prices on food and medicine is the definition of a shake-down.

My legislation, the ‘Cracking Down on Price Gouging Act,’ strengthens existing law to create a national ban and finally holds bad actors accountable.

Gramps Gioffre represents the best of Upstate New York—he served his country, punched a clock, raised a family, and never asked for credit, but he deserves a lot of it. A WWII vet and lifelong Triple Cities resident, it was an honor to celebrate his 100th yesterday in Endicott.

Washington works great for billionaires and corporate PACs, but for people who can't afford an army of lobbyists, they're not getting a Square Deal in this bill.

I'll keep fighting for the faces Washington never sees and the voices it never hears in places like Upstate NY.

We're still fighting.

Here's a quick update on where things stand.

While Republicans scramble to find the votes for their Big Ugly Bill, I took a few minutes to answer the phones in our office and hear from folks across Upstate.

They’re scared about what this will mean—and they have every right to be.

I hear you, and I won’t stop fighting.

Don't tell me you give a shit about the middle class when all you do is shit on the middle class.

I'm voting hell no.
