Are you planning a visit to our nation's capital this summer? Contact our office for assistance in setting up tours of some of our nation's most historic landmarks! We are eager to help you schedule a tour of the United States Capitol, where you can explore the beautiful Rotunda, the Old Supreme Court Chamber, Statuary Hall, and more. This is a can't-miss experience when visiting our nation's capital. I recently had the privilege of giving the Baker family from Wayne County a tour of the Capitol, including a visit to the Speaker's Balcony overlooking the National Mall. To book your Capitol tour, please reach out to our office at least 21 days in advance. Our team can also assist in booking tours of the White House. Please provide up to 90 days' notice for White House tours. While availability is limited, our team is eager to help. During the East Wing tour, you'll see the stunning Vermeil Room, the Library, the China Room, and more rooms with profound significance to our nation's history. For a full list of services we provide to constituents visiting our nation's capital, visit our website or call our DC office. Are your summer travels taking you abroad instead of to our nation's capital? We can assist with your passport needs, whether you're updating a current passport or expediting a new one. International travel can be stressful, but our office is here to help make the process easier by ensuring your passport is ready to go.  From Capitol tours to passport assistance, our office is here to serve you! Advancing America's Energy Dominance through Nuclear Power President Trump has furthered his commitment to advancing American energy dominance by signing three pivotal Executive Orders (EOs) that bolster our nation’s nuclear power capabilities. The EO’s— Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security, Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy — will streamline unnecessary and duplicative regulations, overhaul archaic Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) practices, and pave the way for innovation in new nuclear technologies. Nuclear will play a crucial role in powering the next generation of American technological advancements. Department of Energy reports show that data centers alone could consume as much as 12% of all power generated in the United States by 2028. To remain ahead of our growing energy needs, it is vital that we have affordable and reliable baseload power. As constituents of NY-24 know full well, the energy output and consistency offered by nuclear technologies is immense. The three nuclear plants in my District— Nine Mile Point, James A. FitzPatrick, and Ginna— supply a whopping 22% of the entire state’s energy. In order for Americans to continue to have dependable, 24/7 energy, we must do everything we can to reverse the past decades of backward, alarmist Washington regulations that hindered this great industry. As your representative in Congress, my top priority is championing legislative initiatives that benefit you and your families. Each week, I review numerous bills and letters, engaging in thorough discussions with members of our community to determine which actions to support and address your needs. Below are a few bills I recently cosponsored. H.R.3325, the CHEERS Act: This bill supports local businesses, bars, and restaurants by expanding tax incentives for energy-efficient systems to include kegs and tap properties. Local restaurants and bars are the backbone of the Finger Lakes region, and during this time of high prices it has never been more imperative that we support our local establishments. H.Res.408, Censuring Representative LaMonica McIver of New Jersey: This resolution formally censures Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey for her disgraceful and illegal actions at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey. Rep. McIver unlawfully entered a secure federal facility, interfered with official proceedings, and compromised the safety of law enforcement personnel and others present. This type of behavior is beyond unacceptable for a sitter member of Congress. H.R. 3514 Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act: This bill establishes an electronic prior authorization process for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans and includes standardization processes that are more transparent. This expands beneficiary protections against fraud and clarifies timeline standards for prior authorizations and expedited determinations. Modernizing and improving our Medicare system in a way that decreases wait times and establishes more transparency for beneficiaries will safeguard this program for our future. Honoring our Servicemembers at the Fulton Fire Watch Thank you to everyone who joined us in Fulton for the annual Fire Watch ceremony to honor and remember our fallen servicemembers. It was a privilege to stand alongside County Clerk Terry Wilbur, the Fulton Fire Department, and other local leaders this Memorial Day weekend as we paid tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Our community stands with our servicemembers and will never forget their sacrifice. I also want to thank the Gold Star Families and loved ones of the fallen. As the mother of an active-duty Marine, it is a true honor to stand with the families of loved ones who have served, and I am deeply grateful for everyone who came together for this solemn event. Remembering and Honoring our Veterans Across NY-24 This Memorial Day weekend, our team had the privilege of attending several ceremonies across New York's 24th Congressional District. From places like LeRoy and the New York State Veterans Cemetery in Seneca County, we joined these communities to remember and reflect on the immense sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served our nation. These ceremonies are a powerful reminder that freedom is earned through the courage and selflessness of those who serve this great nation. Unveiling the Orleans County Medal of Honor Recipient Memorial Wall Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the grand reopening of the newly renovated Orleans County Legislative Chambers in Albion. This redesigned space pays tribute to the courage and sacrifice of our community, featuring five local Medal of Honor recipients. Their stories, and the legacy of all who have served, will now be a permanent fixture in the county. Thank you to our State, County, and local officials for celebrating the extraordinary service of our military veterans. A Casework Success Story! An Orleans County Veteran recently had surgery and would need several months to recover, not being able to work. He applied to the VA for a temporary increase in his service-connected disability rating so that he had income to support his family while he was recovering. The Veteran had been in touch with our office previously when the VA delayed another claim, and asked for my help again. Our office reached out to the VA on the Veteran’s behalf and the claim to temporarily increase his rating was approved by the VA. “Thank you so much, you have no idea how I appreciate your help on this…I am very, very happy to be represented by a person of your quality and character.” Need Help with a Federal Agency?
