I’m proud to formally recognize and thank the Vietnam War veterans in our community for their service and sacrifice as part of the Vietnam War Commemoration. If you know a veteran who deserves this long-overdue recognition, please RSVP and join us for our March 10 ceremony.

Today, many in our community begin the season of Lent with Ash Wednesday, a time of reflection, humility, and renewal. Lent reminds us of the power of service, sacrifice, and caring for those most in need. Wishing all who observe a meaningful and peaceful season.

As Ramadan begins, I extend my warmest wishes to families celebrating in Rochester and across our nation. May this holy month be a time of reflection, renewal, and peace. Ramadan Mubarak.

Donald Trump is trying to shake the confidence of American voters, nationalize elections, and take them for his own. We're not going to tolerate it.

Today we celebrate Lunar New Year and the rich traditions that strengthen our communities. Here’s to new beginnings, good fortune, and a year of opportunity!

Today, I joined Reju, Mayor Evans, and community partners to celebrate a $390 million investment that will strengthen our regional economy and position Rochester as a leader in next-generation textile recycling. This is how we grow good-paying jobs and build long-term opportunity.

Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to the unfinished work of our democracy. He expanded opportunity, advanced civil rights, and fought to protect the sacred right to vote. His moral clarity and courage moved our nation forward. We must honor his legacy by continuing that work.

On Presidents’ Day, we reflect on the leaders who have shaped our nation, and the enduring responsibility to strengthen our democracy for the next generation. Hear about what this day means and the work ahead ⬇️

Susan B. Anthony cast her ballot in Rochester in 1872, and was arrested for it. She believed in a simple but powerful truth: every voice deserves to be heard. On her birthday, we recommit to protecting the right to vote for every eligible American.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 15(source)

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud or non-citizen voting in America. The SAVE America Act claims to fix a problem that doesn’t exist, while putting the voting rights of millions of eligible Americans at risk.

On Valentine’s Day, we celebrate love, and that includes love for our neighbors, our community, and the values that bring us together. Today, I’m especially grateful for this incredible community. From my family to yours, Happy Valentine’s Day!

We had the honor of delivering Valentine’s cards to the Veterans Outreach Center, a small token of appreciation for the men and women who have served our country. Thank you to everyone who participated in my office’s Valentine’s for Veterans program and helped make this possible.

Frederick Douglass chose Rochester as the home of The North Star, a place where he lead the fight for freedom. Today, we honor his courage by continuing his mission: defending democracy, expanding opportunity, and protecting equal rights for all.

We need to put an end to individual stock trading by members of Congress, the president, and the vice president. My discharge petition would bring a real stock trading ban to the House floor and help restore trust in our government.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 13(source)

Mr. President, read the Constitution. Elections belong to the American people. Not you.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 13(source)

Thank you to all the local Rochester leaders who joined my Constituent Coffee Hour in Washington this week!

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 13(source)

Grateful for the opportunity to meet with Monroe Community College in Washington. MCC opens doors for thousands of students across our region. They're expanding access to affordable education and creating pathways to good-paying jobs right here in Rochester.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 13(source)

Proud to welcome Rochester’s UAW representatives to Washington. Their advocacy helps ensure working families have a seat at the table and I'm committed to working with them to continue fighting for fair wages, safe workplaces, and a strong manufacturing future for our community.

Congressional Republicans are afraid to tell the truth: Donald Trump lost in 2020. This is just one more attempt to rewrite history.
