Friend --
With Antonio Delgado leading efforts in Congress to protect the health and financial security of all families, we want to make sure you have access to critical news, resources, and services.
Antonio recently did a number of interviews to discuss what the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES ACT) will do to help New Yorkers during this crisis that you can listen to and share below:
Prior to the pandemic, Antonio held 35 in-person town halls across New York's 19th District, making him one of the most accessible Members of Congress in the entire country.
Instead of holding in-person town halls, Antonio is conducting telephone town halls so all residents in the district can stay connected and get the latest updates without having to leave their homes.
If you missed Friday's telephone town hall, HudsonValley 360 has a recap you can read and share with your friends.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has launched a comprehensive website for residents to have the most accurate and up-to-date information about COVID-19 and the state's response, which you can visit by clicking here.
