ICE's plan for a detention facility in the Hudson Valley is un-American & against everything we stand for. Hudson Valley Patriots are making our voices heard, demanding justice, accountability, & humanity for every member of our community. Add your voice: smplu.link/hEGlv

I risked my life in combat to protect fundamental American freedoms. That includes a woman’s right to choose. Proud to stand alongside my colleagues & @NewYorkStateAG to make clear to women in New York seeking reproductive care & the doctors providing it: we’ve got your back.

These deeply personal and private medical decisions should be made by women, their health care providers, and their families, not by extremist judges or politicians. Overturning Roe v. Wade wasn’t enough for Republicans. Now, the Trump Administration is trying everything they can to restrict access to abortion, including going after doctors right here in our own community, but we’re fighting back.

10 years ago, 49 lives were viciously taken in the Pulse Night Club shooting. This Pride & Gun Violence Awareness Month, my message to the LGBTQ community is this: You are loved. You belong. And I will always fight to protect your rights and freedoms as Americans.

The Equal Pay Act was passed 62 years ago today, yet for the second time in a row, the gender pay gap WIDENED this year. That’s why I’m fighting to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to end the gender wage gap once & for all.

If you need help navigating federal programs, contacting the IRS, or accessing your benefits, stop by one of my team’s C.A.R.E.S. Van stops! Tomorrow, we’ll be in Rhinebeck with the Dutchess County Office for Aging. Hope to see you there!

82 years ago this weekend, Allied forces bravely stormed the beaches at Normandy to fight for freedom and defend democracy. As we commemorate D-Day, let us remember the heroes of that day and honor the sacrifices they made for our country.

The Hudson Valley is home to a rich history of American heroes who signed up to serve because they believed in the Patriot cause. Wappinger Chief Daniel Nimham is one of those heroes, giving his life in the Revolutionary War so that we may all be free.

I’ve been fighting alongside our Wappingers community, especially Fishkill Supervisor Ozzy Albra, to ensure that Chief Nimham receives the long-overdue recognition he deserves for his sacrifice to our country.

The Purple Heart is our military’s highest honor. It would help honor Chief Nimham’s extraordinary service, courage, and ultimate sacrifice, while ensuring that future generations understand the indispensable role Native Americans played in securing our nation’s freedom. patryan.house.gov/media/pres…

June is #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth. Too many lives have been cut short, families torn apart & communities left reeling from the tragic toll of the gun violence epidemic. It’s time to end the gun violence epidemic once and for all – for my kids & for yours.

The frost this spring was absolutely devastating to our Hudson Valley farmers & growers. Hearing & seeing the damage firsthand makes clear we need urgent action. One of our apple growers told me they lost close to 90% of their crop. USDA needs to step up and do their job – now.

An official Disaster Designation would unlock millions of dollars in emergency grants and resources to help farmers and growers begin to recover from the estimated $30 million loss. I am fighting tooth and nail to make sure Secretary Rollins understands the on-the-ground impacts and acts with urgency. patryan.house.gov/media/pres…

The people trust us to be responsible stewards of their taxpayer dollars. Spending 100 billion of their hard-earned dollars on this war is not a good enough reason to spend $100 billion more. Americans deserve better. Not a single dollar more for Trump's reckless, illegal war.

So grateful for the heroic efforts of the firefighters and first responders from across the Hudson Valley working together and through the night to battle this fire. I’m closely coordinating with Dutchess County Emergency Management leaders and stand ready to support.

This vote to end the war in Iran is a huge deal. This was not an easy fight. Since the start of Trump’s illegal, reckless war, Republicans have used every procedural trick in the book to stop us and let this vote fail three separate times. But yesterday, the People’s House spoke with the People’s voice.

I’m so proud of every patriot in our community who spoke out and stood strong because it was your voice that made this vote possible. This is a major victory – only Congress has the authority to declare war, not the president, and we made that clear.

But our troops are still in harm’s way and gas prices continue to climb, and we will keep fighting until President Trump does the right thing and ends this war. patryan.house.gov/media/pres…
