Democracy only works when voters know their voices will be heard.

I grew up in a union family where I saw firsthand how collective bargaining puts food on the table, creates dignity in the workplace, and paves a path for the next generation. This Labor Day, I proudly stand with our workers—because when unions are strong, America is strong.

We need strong early childhood education. It sets our students up for success at a young age and creates new opportunities for them. We cannot allow cuts from the Trump administration to take that away.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 30(source)

I'm proud to say, in just 8 months, my constituent services team has returned over $10 million that was rightly owed to members of our community. Reach out to my office today if you need assistance with a federal agency.

Trump's decision to shut down programs that resettle Afghan allies is cruel, shortsighted, and puts our future national security at risk. On the anniversary of the end of the War in Afghanistan, we remember the sacrifice of our troops and the Afghan allies who supported them.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 29(source)

We need to champion the early learning programs that support our community’s children. We cannot allow cuts to these programs to threaten the pathways families have to set their kids up for success.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 29(source)

If you're not one of Trump's billionaire friends, they don't care about you. Our number one priority must be advocating for our constituents; that's why I've always fought to expand access to healthcare, not rip it away from those who need it most.

Speaker Johnson pushed Medicaid cuts. His constituents worry about their own coverage

In Mike Johnson's district, not only could thousands of Louisianians lose coverage, health centers are bracing for a financial hit. They're hoping for additional funding to make up for Medicaid cuts.

President Trump cheats at golf, cheats on his taxes, and cheats his business partners. So of course he’s trying to cheat voters—he fears the people’s verdict.

Political loyalty can't fight pandemics; qualified public health experts can. RFK Jr. is putting politics first and our health second.

CDC left leaderless after new Director Dr. Susan Monarez is ousted and other key officials follow | CNN

Dr. Susan Monarez, who was sworn in as director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on July 31, has been removed from the position, the White House said Wednesday.

Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the Civil Rights March on Washington. The fight for equality did not end in 1963—it remains our responsibility today. As the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'll keep fighting to protect access to the ballot box for all American voters.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 27(source)

We need to tackle the very real concerns Americans have: Bring down the cost of living. Protect lifesaving resources. Defend our democracy.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 27(source)

I'm devastated by the lives taken and for the community forever scarred by this tragedy. These children should be enjoying their first week at school, not mourning their classmates. My prayers are with all those victimized by today's shooting.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
