Andrew was glad to have such a great group of interns in his Patchogue office this summer where they assisted his district staff with casework, community outreach, and other essential duties in support of New York's 2nd District. Andrew recently thanked them for all of their hard work this summer as their internship came to a close.

Andrew was proud to support the Ambassadors of Compassion Kick Off Classic at East Islip High School this week. Ambassadors of Compassion is an innovative emotional resiliency building program that helps students work through real-life issues and equips them with the critical skills needed to navigate and succeed through life’s inevitable challenges. Over 1,000 kids from across this district participated in the kick off and Andrew's office attended to meet with members of the community and show their support for this local effort to help our children.

A Brentwood resident lost his Medicare coverage after he was asked to pay a lump sum he could not afford. A family member helped him complete the payment, but his coverage still had not been reinstated 7 months later and he was unable to see his doctor. After he contacted our office last Friday, Andrew's caseworkers reached out to Medicare on his behalf and on Monday morning the constituent received a call from Medicare that his insurance was reinstated. 



Andrew knows how frustrating dealing with bureaucracy can be. That is why he has an entire team dedicated to helping constituents get what they need from the federal government. If you need help dealing with a federal agency, contact our office and our team will get to work on your case. 

This week, Andrew joined with Rep. Mike Lawler and 30 of their colleagues to demand President Biden abandon any consideration of plea deals for 9/11 terrorists that take the death penalty off the table. As we approach the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the ramifications of that horrific day are still being felt - including by the families of the 2,977 innocent people who were killed and the thousands of survivors and first responders who continue to fall ill from 9/11-related illnesses. Andrew is adamant that 9/11 families deserve justice and these terrorists deserve to face the most severe consequence possible for their murderous actions. Learn more here.

This week, Andrew joined with Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24), to reintroduce the Local Law Enforcement Protection Act, which protects qualified immunity for police officers serving at the state and local levels nationwide. In a statement announcing the bill Andrew said, "The Left’s assault on essential police protections is inexcusable and only makes it harder for law enforcement officers to do their jobs keeping our communities safe and criminals off the street. For years, qualified immunity has served as legal protection for law enforcement officers from being sued for lawful actions undertaken as part of their official duties. At a time when police recruitment and retention is at staggering lows and crime remains at record highs, I am proud to co-lead this legislation to discourage state and local governments from taking harmful policy action against our law enforcement community."

This week, Andrew joined the 4th Texas Energy Forum to discuss the importance of restoring American energy independence to reduce oil and gas costs for American families, end our reliance on foreign nations for fuel, combat the rising influence of nations like Russia and China, and reduce global emissions. In a speech during the forum, Andrew highlighted the efforts House Republicans have already taken to Combat the Biden administration's anti-American energy agenda, including with permitting reforms in the the Fiscal Responsibility Act and with legislation to prevent the President from taking unilateral executive action that could harm America's ability to produce energy here at home.
