Last year, President Trump signed our bipartisan bill into law to repeal the Health Insurance Tax & bring costs down for seniors on Medicare Advantage.
#COVID19 made our mission to expand access to care even more urgent. I'll keep working to get it done. uticaod.com/news/20190828/

Big social media companies must be held accountable for graphic content on their platforms.
We introduced #BiancasLaw to ensure no family ever has to endure the trauma the Devins family did after Bianca’s death. I'll keep working to get it passed.

$600 is not enough to help the millions of Americans who are suffering. That's why I’m supporting the CASH Act to increase direct payments to $2,000.
Members of both parties & the President support $2,000 payments. Leader McConnell must pass this bill & help the American people.

Let's focus on the facts. The NDAA:
✅Gives our troops a pay raise
✅Strengthens protections against Russian/Chinese cyberattacks
✅Expands health care for our troops & Veterans
I will vote to override the President's veto today because our national security comes first.

On Monday, I will be back in Washington to vote for the CASH Act to send higher direct stimulus payments to working families.
Hopefully, the President can convince House and Senate Republican leaders to get on board.

It is a disgrace that on Christmas Eve an attempt to pass an increase to $2,000 for direct stimulus payments, as President Trump has called for, was blocked by House Republican leadership.

Pay raises for our troops and our national defense should not be dragged into a petty partisan fight.
This veto threatens jobs in our area, our national security, the crucial work done at Rome Lab, and a much-deserved pay raise for our troops - right before the holidays.

I supported the bipartisan coronavirus relief bill, but we must do more. Our state & local govts cannot be forced to bear the brunt of this pandemic. Any future relief package must include state & local aid so our communities can rebuild from COVID-19.

When Sherrill Veteran Chuck Osier passed away in 2015, he was not eligible for VA burial benefits because he chose to be cremated.
This week, the House passed our Chuck Osier Burial Benefits Act to change that VA policy & honor Veterans like Chuck.
