WHAT'S NEW IN NY-02 Honoring Our Fallen Officers This week, the Suffolk County Police Department held a memorial ceremony at its headquarters in Yaphank in honor of those officers who have given their lives in the line of duty. The ceremony was co-hosted by the Suffolk County Superior Officers Association, the Suffolk County PBA, and the Suffolk County Detectives Association.

CASEWORK HIGHLIGHT: Securing Medicare Coverage of Claim A Blue Point resident contacted Andrew's office after Medicare denied his claim following an accident. Andrew’s Medicare Liaison reached out to Medicare and the hospital in question, cleared up the discrepancy, and had the medical bills resubmitted so Medicare could cover and pay the claim. 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 government. If you need help dealing with a federal agency, contact our office and our team will get to work on your case.

Andrew Urges Biden Administration To Act on Border Crisis March was the 37th straight month where monthly illegal immigrant encounters have been higher than even the highest month seen under the previous Administration. That's why this week, Andrew voted in favor of Rep. Tony Gonzales’ legislation, H. Res. 1112, condemning President Biden and his Administration for their disastrous open border policies that have created the worst border crisis in U.S. history, and urging the Biden Administration to take immediate action to end this national security threat. We must secure our border and put an end to unfettered illegal immigration. Thanks for reading! Do you know someone who might like to receive these updates?
