I’ve fought for years to improve access to mental health and addiction treatment – and I’ve seen what happens when we fail to provide help. That’s why I’m leading the charge in Congress to tackle the rise of problem gambling in America. Read more here:

Livestreaming executions is what dictatorships and terrorist groups do.
It has no place in America. Secretary Hegseth and the Pentagon must reverse this grotesque decision at once.
Great to be at Hudson Valley Community College with @reprileyny.bsky.social yesterday to speak with the Rensselaer County Chamber of Commerce and to stop by HVCC’s Career Jam event!
Republicans’ latest cuts to SNAP are making life even harder for American families already struggling with rising grocery costs. Read my latest newsletter to learn more about these cuts and what I’m doing to stop them:

Proud to be part of the successful push to restore this lifesaving support line!
So grateful to all who joined us in this effort to ensure our LGBTQ+ youth have the resources they need and deserve.
Trump: “We have the BEST FINANCIAL NUMBERS EVER”
Meanwhile, gas and diesel prices:
When we return to Washington, Congress must be armed with a plan of action to meaningfully respond to this cost-of-living crisis and to deliver for the American people. Read my latest newsletter for more on my push to do just that.

New Yorkers are being forced to pay over $5,500 more for necessities since Trump took office.
From cutting massively to Medicaid, to imposing reckless tariffs, to a 7 month war with Iran—Trump's actions are making life harder and more expensive for Americans.
I’m ready to get back to work, Speaker Johnson. Are you?
My visit to ICE's detention center in Batavia last month left me with more questions than answers about the treatment of detainees & operations.
That's why I sent a letter to ICE and facility leadership demanding information, transparency, and a halt to the recently announced center expansion.
I’m proud to announce that the 2026 NY20 Congressional App Challenge is now open! The Challenge is open to middle and high school students in NY-20 with all levels of coding experience. If you or someone you know is interested, click below to learn more! #Congress4CS

While Republicans sent us home early from Washington claiming a job well done, countless Americans continue to struggle with rising costs.
I’ll keep fighting to address the affordability crisis, including taking action to lower energy costs. Read more here:

Access to safe, clean drinking water is a necessity, not a luxury.
Yet, EPA is considering rolling back more safety standards that protect people from cancer-causing PFAS, known as ‘forever chemicals.’ It's shameful.
I stood with advocates to fight this move and protect our drinking water.
Investing in people & workers always pays off. That’s why I introduced the Good Energy Jobs Act this week, a bill that establishes strong labor standards & drives community development.
Proud to be joined by Sen. Heinrich, Rep. Budzinski, and many labor & environmental groups pushing for this bill.
Congress shouldn’t go home until we rein in AI.
We can’t afford to wait for a disaster caused by AI before we do something. Trump, House Speaker Johnson, and Republican leadership can’t just bury their heads in the sand and ignore this issue as a so-called ‘hoax.’ We need action now.
Tick season is getting worse each year, & with it, tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease.
Congress just took action to address this threat by passing the Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act, legislation I co-led in the House that funds research & protects public health against tick-borne diseases.
Tonight, landmarks across the world will glow green for International Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness Day. Myotonic dystrophy is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, and I’ve been proud to support the UAlbany RNA Institute’s efforts to develop treatments.
Trump's illegal attempt to restrict mail-in-voting FAILED.
While this administration continues to attack the fundamental right to vote, it is more important than ever to make your voice heard in our elections.
Each year, I have the honor of nominating a group of exceptional students from our Capital Region to serve our country by attending one of our nation’s service academies. Today, I’m proud to announce that this year’s academy nomination process is now open!
Across our Capital Region, communities are stepping up to support each other in challenging times – from expanding mental health services and improving access to care to honoring the spirit of service that brings us together. Read more here:
