Reliable weather forecasts save lives. As extreme weather becomes more frequent, we must ensure NOAA and the National Weather Service have the resources they need to keep communities safe. Tune in as we discuss what’s at stake:

Angie Pérez-Delgado joined me at the State of the Union to represent the communities who are too often left out. Her reflection is powerful, personal, and necessary. Read her words:

Hypocrisy, that's what you get with Donald Trump. Mail-in voting is secure and I'll continue to fight to protect it for American voters.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 24(source)

In three weeks, Trump has spent nearly $25 billion on his war in Iran. That's a lot of money that could have been used here at home to support American families.

Instead of accepting the bipartisan agreement that would restore funding for TSA, President Trump wants to tie this issue to his desire to make it harder for Americans to vote. It's clear voter supression is his number one priority, not advancing the interests of the American people.

Congratulations to our local breweries who took home medals at the 2026 NYS Craft Beer Competition! Rochester is proud to have hosted the event and be home to so many innovative brewers paving the way in the industry.

Voting by mail is safe and secure; we know this, and evidently, so does President Trump!

Trump just voted by a method he calls ‘mail-in cheating’

The president’s decision to vote by mail comes as he pushes a sweeping bill to reform balloting nationwide, including restrictions on mail-in voting.

Join me live tonight around 5:30 pm on CNN'S The Lead to talk about about the SAVE America Act and Republicans’ attempted takeover of elections.

We cannot let the president's unhinged conspiracy theories stop the verdict of the American people. Donald Trump doesn't trust American voters and will do anything to undermine free and fair elections.

The crash at LaGuardia this morning is devastating. I'm praying for the victims and their families, and I'm grateful to the first responders who put themselves at risk to save others.

Despite what Donald Trump may want you to think, voting is a fundamental right. It's not a privilege to be handed out.

In what universe does this make sense? A MAGA crazed, election-denier is neglecting his duty to fight crime to ‘hand count ’ the already audited results of California’s last election. We know Trump can’t accept 2020 but please get the mental health you need. And spare the rest of us.

It's National Rosie the Riveter Day! Last year, I had the honor of recognizing Mary Masciangelo, one of Rochester's own Rosies. Today, we celebrate women like Mary who stepped up to strengthen our nation and break barriers in the workforce during WWII.

On this day in 1965, the Selma-to-Montgomery march for voting rights began. This moment in history calls on all of us. The right to vote must never be taken for granted. As the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I’m fighting to protect our elections for every American.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 20(source)

The SAVE America Act is not about voter ID. It's about giving your private information to the Department of Homeland Security, purging voters, and making it harder to vote. We will not allow that.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 20(source)

Everyone deserves the chance to thrive. Thanks to the work of the Mary Cariola Center, we’re helping make that a reality in Rochester. I’m grateful to Governor Hochul for providing funding to support this expansion. I look forward to seeing the new campus very soon.
