As we celebrate the Fourth of July, we remember the bold vision our Founders set in motion 249 years ago, a nation built on individual liberty, limited government, and the rule of law. On July 4, 1776, they signed the Declaration of Independence that changed the course of history and secured the freedoms we cherish today. That legacy lives on in the hardworking families, farmers, veterans, and service members of NY-24, who embody the resilience and spirit that make America exceptional. This Independence Day weekend, and every day, let’s honor those who came before us by defending and supporting the freedoms they risked everything to secure. We hope you and your family have a safe, meaningful, and patriotic Fourth of July. God Bless America! Passing President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill House Republicans kept our promise to the American people by passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by a vote of 218-214 this past week. This historic legislation preserves and builds on President Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which I voted for in 2017. The bill provides a significant tax cut to lower-income seniors, most of which rely on Social Security benefits that they earned through a lifetime of hard work while also eliminating taxes on tips and overtime. This bill not only lowers taxes for working families but provides tax incentives for small businesses and family farms. It also prevents the largest tax hike in American history, delivers an average $1,300 tax cut, and paves the way for a nearly $14,700 increase in take-home pay for New York families. This legislation protects our farmers and small businesses by preserving and strengthening the small business pass-through deduction and permanent relief from the death tax. It also restores 100% immediate capital expensing, which is a critical tool that will empower investment and drive job growth across NY-24. This bill will secure our borders by funding ICE and CBP, finishing the wall, and stemming the flow of taxpayer-funded benefits like Medicaid to illegal immigrants. This bill will also unleash American energy and end our reliance on foreign sources of energy while lowering costs for consumers and businesses. The One Big Beautiful Bill also includes many stand-alone bills that I championed, including H.R. 1103, the New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act, and H.R. 1752, the Technology for Energy Security Act. The New Markets Tax Credit fosters private investments into economically distressed communities, particularly in rural areas, and has led to billions of dollars in investments into rural communities like NY-24. The Technology for Energy Security Act extends the credit for fuel cells and linear generators, helping to solidify America’s role as the leading manufacturer of these emerging technologies. The One Big Beautiful Bill restores economic freedom, strengthens our national security, and puts hardworking Americans first. This is a major victory for the American people and a significant step in restoring prosperity, security, and strength for all Americans across our great nation. 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. 4207, the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act: This bill would explicitly require any new pandemic preparedness treaty to be submitted to the Senate for ratification. This would preserve the Senate’s vital role in ratifying treaties and prevent future Democratic Presidential administrations from skirting around the Senate by arbitrarily declaring this new radical treaty to be an “executive agreement”, which does not require Senate ratification. This commonsense bill upholds the Constitution and will stop the WHO’s attempts to infringe on our national sovereignty. H.R.4242, the De-Escalate Tax Modernization Act: Our courageous law enforcement officers deserve access to the most effective tools to protect themselves and the communities they serve. This bill updates outdated and burdensome laws to ensure new nonlethal technologies, like the TASER 10, are treated appropriately under U.S. law and not treated as firearms. This clarification will allow these nonlethal technologies to be utilized by our law enforcement officers to de-escalate dangerous situations without resorting to deadly force. H.R. 4254, the Iranian Campaign Medal Act: This legislation authorizes the Secretary of Defense to establish and award a United States military decoration to service members who served in Iran in direct support of Operation Midnight Hammer. On June 22, 2025, American service members flawlessly executed Operation Midnight Hammer and struck key Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz. This Medal would recognize these service members valiant contributions to U.S. national security and provide the Department of Defense a new way to honor these soldiers’ contributions. Honoring our Local Heroes Local memorials are more than just stone and bronze; they are lasting reminders of the courage, service, and sacrifice of the men and women who put their lives on the line for our safety and freedom. The Remembering Our Local Heroes Act creates a federal grant program to help communities build, restore, and maintain memorials honoring our veterans, law enforcement officers, and firefighters. Too often, these tributes fall into disrepair due to a lack of funding. This bill ensures that communities in NY-24 and across the country have the resources needed to preserve these important landmarks for future generations. Planning a Trip to Washington, D.C.?
