This week, the Town of Brookhaven and the Division of Senior Citizen Affairs held their Annual Senior Citizens' Picnic. Over 1,000 seniors came out for the annual event where they had a community lunch, heard from local government officials, and enjoyed other activities. While Andrew was in Washington, D.C. for votes, members of his team attended to speak with constituents, hear their concerns, and share resources and information.

A constituent was seeking Pre-Need Determination of Eligibility for Burial in a VA National Cemetery following 28 years of Army Reserve service. After submitting the appropriate paperwork, and waiting for a response, he learned that the form had been updated and feared his previous application had been discarded. The constituent resubmitted the paperwork but after several months still hadn't received a response. Andrew's casework team was able to contact the United States National Cemetery's Eligibility Verification Division and confirm that the constituent and his wife were entitle for burial in the National Cemetery. 



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, the House Committee on Homeland Security held a hearing entitled “An Unbearable Price: The Devastating Human Costs of the Biden-Mayorkas Border Crisis.” Andrew questioned witnesses about the impact of the Biden Administration's border policies, including how they have damaged border patrol's ability to manage the crisis and the devastation caused by drug cartels and the fentanyl flooding into American communities. Watch his full line of questioning here.

This week, Andrew voted to pass the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act to block Biden’s EPA from issuing waivers for regulations that ban the sale or use of new motor vehicles with internal combustion engines. Following states like New York and California taking action to ban gas cars, this legislation seeks to preserve consumer choice, maintain competition in the automotive markets, and ensure families have access to reliable and affordable vehicles.
