Our community strongly rejects ICE moving into the Hudson Valley. It’s shameful, un-American, and the exact opposite of everything we stand for. When Trump tried to build a facility in Chester, we rallied with one voice to stop it – and we’re ready to do the same thing again.

Veterans & their families make massive sacrifices for our country. Just like they have our backs, we’ve got to have theirs. I want to congratulate the Montrose VA on opening their newest Fisher House, providing families with housing while they care for their veteran loved ones.

Representing my alma mater @WestPoint_USMA in Congress is one of the best parts of this incredible job. Extra special to spend some time with NY-18 cadets I nominated for the Academy when I was there for Board of Visitors last week!

Throughout the second Trump Administration, the President has waged targeted political attacks on New York. When he cut this counterterrorism funding, New Yorkers across the state fought back & won. Now, a year later, we’re demanding Trump deliver the rest of what’s rightly ours.

As Trump’s war with Iran continues, Americans want and deserve to feel safe. Now is the absolute last time to be cutting security funding. The need is especially stark following the grim 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks – the tragedy that changed our state forever and inspired these vital preparedness programs in the first place.

It was great to join the Middletown Fire Department for their annual firehouse inspection day last week! Always so impressed by our local firehouses & the exceptional firefighters hard at work everyday to keep our communities safe.

The Hudson Valley is fighting back against Trump’s immigration overreach. We won't stand by and let ICE terrorize our neighbors & make us all less safe. Proud to work alongside an amazing coalition of local activists fighting for Liberty & Justice for ALL.

The Hudson is more than a river – it’s the lifeblood and the heartbeat of our community. For far too long, big corporations have polluted our drinking water and put our precious River at risk in pursuit of profits. But not anymore.

On Friday, we celebrated the years of effort by every single member of our Hudson Valley community. I especially want to thank my partners at Riverkeeper and Scenic Hudson for their tireless work and commitment to protecting the Hudson.

Never again will big corporations be able to turn our River into a parking lot for dangerous barges, polluting the drinking water for 100,000 of our neighbors. This victory proves that when the Hudson Valley stands up with one voice to demand change, we can accomplish anything. patryan.house.gov/media/pres…

Across New York State, we’re united in putting our community ahead of corporate profits. From our town boards, to the Governor’s nation-leading moratorium, to urgently needed federal action, we’re fighting to ensure that we, the people, get a seat at the table.
New Yorkers are worried about what massive data centers could mean for their utility bills, their communities, and the reliability of our energy grid. I hear those concerns, and I’m not going to sit back and wait for problems to happen. I’m proud to stand with @AOC and @RepPatRyanNY to act now. My job isn’t to protect billion-dollar AI companies. It’s to protect New Yorkers.

We’re not going to let a bunch of billionaire tech oligarchs come into the Hudson Valley to poison our water, drive up our utility bills, and build this powerful technology that even they acknowledge could have devastating impacts for humankind.

Trump & spineless rubber-stamp Republicans in Congress cut $1 trillion from your health care to fund a tax cut for billionaires. It’s straight-up un-American. On behalf of the 450,000 New Yorkers – and 15,000 #NY18 neighbors – kicked off their insurance, we’re fighting back.

On Monday, I hosted local restaurant owners for a roundtable on how corporate consolidation is raising costs in the Hudson Valley. The FTC must protect the independent restaurants that make our community special, & block the proposed $29.1 billion Sysco-Restaurant Depot merger.

Keeping prices competitive is essential to the success of these restaurants, which is why we’re going to fight with everything we’ve got to make sure the FTC blocks this harmful deal and protects the independent businesses that keep our Hudson Valley communities thriving.
