I met with leaders from the Rochester Black Nurses Association to discuss the importance of expanding access to quality health care, supporting the next generation of nurses, and improving health outcomes across our community.   Grateful for their advocacy, leadership, and commitment to care.
She is exactly the kind of person any of us should value as a neighbor. I am relieved a federal judge ordered ICE to return her to New York, where our community can continue to advocate for her.
As we near the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, I was grateful for the opportunity to honor five leaders in our local Jewish community who go above and beyond. Their dedication to serving others and improving the lives of everyone who calls Rochester home is inspiring.
Interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy? Join Senator Gillibrand and me for an information night tomorrow night in Rochester to learn more about the admissions and congressional nomination process. Students and families are encouraged to attend.
Today, we honor the Americans who gave what President Lincoln called “the last full measure of devotion” in defense of our nation & democracy. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we enjoy. May we remember them with a commitment to the values they fought to protect.
Rochester did not ask for these detention cells. We have shared our concerns and demanded transparency from the Trump Administration. We have been summarily ignored. They picked the wrong community for that. We will fight back.
The people of Rochester understand that the Trump Administration is only working to bring fear into the lives of everyday citizens in our country. We see the pattern, and we won't stand for it.
Instead, House Republicans added radical, divisive, and partisan amendments. We'll keep fighting for the original bipartisan bill that ensures women’s stories are told fully, truthfully, and on the National Mall.
The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum is long overdue, and it deserves a place on the National Mall. We had a bipartisan bill that would have ensured women’s history is properly told.
I led the defeat of Republicans’ partisan bill that would have handed Donald Trump unprecedented control over the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum.   Women’s history belongs to the American people—not Donald Trump and his loyal followers.
Donald Trump likes to talk about public safety, but there's nothing safe about making an entire community terrified of its own government and dropping detention cells into a downtown building our community uses to access public services every day.
The Trump administration tried to push this project into downtown Rochester without listening to the people who live and work here. That’s wrong. My legislation ensures communities have a seat at the table before these decisions move forward.
Rochester cannot be silenced. Today, I introduced the Respect Our Communities (ROC) Act to stop the federal government from forcing immigration detention facilities into communities without transparency, public input, or local approval.
The fact that FBI Director Kash Patel used government dollars to go on a juvenile snorkeling expedition in Pearl Harbor is disgraceful.   These are sacred waters where we honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion to this country.
The president issued a blanket pardon to violent criminals who stormed the Capitol on January 6th, now he wants to pay them taxpayer dollars for their behavior?   It's ridiculous.
On this day in 1919, Congress passed the 19th Amendment—a milestone won by generations of women who refused to let their voices be silenced. We're carrying on that fight today as efforts like the SAVE Act and SCOTUS' Voting Rights Act ruling threaten access for millions.
