Here in Rochester, we know education is the very best investment we can make in our future.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 26(source)

As parents send their kids back to school, costs are already a strain. Trump’s tariffs only make it worse. We need to focus on lowering costs and helping families make ends meet.

Today, on Women's Equality Day, we celebrate the trailblazers in Rochester and across the country who fought for women's suffrage. As we honor those who came before us, we must recognize the leaders who carry on that work and continue the fight for full equality.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 25(source)

The Trump administration pushed through a budget that puts millions of Americans at risk, and his tariffs are driving up costs for families. His actions now are an attempt to distract from the issues that are truly affecting our community.

Thanks to the Greater Rochester Association of Realtors for stopping in to discuss their work in our community. They provide education, information, and tools to help their members serve families across our region.

From their plant in Rochester, Nortera is keeping food on Americans' tables and strengthening our community. Grateful to spend some time with their team to hear about their work and how we can better support them.

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

We're going to do whatever we can to fight back against Trump's redistricting plans—and we can't do it with one hand tied behind our back.

I'm proud to support agriculture in our community and across New York State. I met with local farmers to talk about the upcoming farm bill and hear their concerns. I'll keep working as Vice Ranking Member of the Appropriations Committee to support the agricultural industry here in New York.

Honored to join Judge Geraci for a naturalization ceremony. This process stands as a reminder of our nation’s ability to welcome people from all corners of the world and create the beautiful tapestry of cultures and perspectives that make us all uniquely American.

I'm always excited to spend time with my brothers and sisters in labor @1199seiu.org! As the son of a union family, I know just how life-changing union membership can be, and I'm proud to continue fighting for a future where everyone's voice is heard.

I’m heartbroken by today’s tragic tour bus crash. My prayers are with all those injured and the loved ones of those who lost their lives.

Had an inspiring visit at Homesteads for Hope—a local community farm where everyone, regardless of ability, can find a place to belong. Here, apprentices are building confidence and purpose in nature’s classroom. Proud to work alongside them to support our neighbors.

The President's suggestion to end mail-in voting is unconstitutional, it's unlawful, and it's unserious. We are going to fight it every step of the way.

These funds support teacher training, address learning gaps, and provide resources for students in crisis. As Vice Ranking Member of the House Committee on Appropriations, I’ll fight to protect Head Start, expand Universal Pre-K, and restore the Child Tax Credit.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 21(source)

We need an educated America, one where our children can succeed in a drastically changing world with AI and social media. In Rochester, we know this, and our community is stepping up to defend programs our students rely on that are facing cuts by the Trump administration.

Trump's attack on mail-in voting is a blatant lie. It has been secure and safe, and used in many states for decades without incident. This is nothing more than another attempt to hide from the American people he's scared of.
