Contact Me Here Unveiling My 2025 Tax Plan to Lower Costs for Families and Small Businesses Since day one, my mission has been to put New York taxpayers first. That’s why passing President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act was so important. This historic tax relief package puts American workers first, supports small businesses and family farms, and gives hardworking families more control over their paychecks. As the only Republican from New York to vote for both of President Trump’s landmark tax bills, I’ve stood up for the people of NY-24 by locking in lower rates, eliminating unfair IRS rules, and delivering pro-growth reforms that will strengthen our economy for generations to come. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, I played a key role in shaping this transformative legislation. From eliminating taxes on tips and overtime to expanding the Child Tax Credit and protecting family farms from the death tax, this bill is delivering real relief to families and businesses across our region. The bill also includes many stand-alone bills that I championed, such as the New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act, providing a major boost to rural communities and distressed areas. There’s still more work to do, and I remain committed to building on these wins so every New Yorker has the opportunity to thrive. To read my full Tax Plan, click here. My 2025 Plan to Make Voting Great Again I released my 2025 “Make Voting Great Again” Plan to restore confidence in our elections and protect the integrity of the democratic process. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our Republic, but systemic issues affecting the past few election cycles have shaken public trust. That is why I launched the House Election Integrity Caucus to advance meaningful reforms, ensure transparency and security, and give every American confidence that their vote counts and their voice matters. As Chair of the Election Integrity Caucus, I introduced a robust package of bills to strengthen our election laws. The plan prohibits private partisan election funding, bans taxpayer funded get out the vote efforts by federal agencies, and proposes a constitutional amendment to bar noncitizens from voting. It also outlaws ballot harvesting, blocks ranked choice voting in federal elections, and requires proof of citizenship to register. Election integrity is not a partisan issue. It is a fundamental principle. I will continue working to ensure our elections are secure and transparent to protect one of our most sacred rights as Americans.

Russia Collusion Hoax Statement A newly declassified report from the House Intelligence Committee confirms what we have long known to be true: the Russia collusion narrative was a politically orchestrated hoax, not a national security concern. The report reveals that the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, led by then CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey, relied on discredited sources like the Steele Dossier, ignored credible intelligence, and rushed its conclusions to legitimize a smear campaign against President Donald Trump. Newly declassified intelligence also shows that sources tied to Soros' Open Society Foundations warned of a Clinton campaign plot to falsely link Trump to Russia. The Clinton team allegedly discussed a plan to involve the FBI and the media to shift attention away from Hillary Clinton's private email server and toward Trump’s supposed ties to the Russian mafia. The FBI received this intelligence and failed to act before launching the Crossfire Hurricane probe. Additional revelations show that thousands of records related to the Trump Russia probe were concealed in burn bags at the FBI headquarters. These included FISA application materials, source notes, and internal reports that directly undermined the collusion narrative. These documents were withheld from Congress, President Trump’s legal team, and even from Special Counsel Durham. Under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, these documents are finally coming to light. We’ve also learned that John Brennan and James Comey are under criminal investigation by Special Counsel Robert Hur. This wasn’t just about President Trump. It was a calculated effort to suppress dissent, manipulate public perception, and twist the intelligence community into a political weapon. I will keep demanding full accountability and working to restore trust in our institutions. The American people deserve answers. 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. 472, the Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025: The bill authorizes the VA to fire, demote, or suspend VA supervisors and managers for unacceptable performance or misconduct. Veterans risked their lives for our country, and it is our duty to provide the best possible care for them. This will help hold the VA accountable and allow the VA to remove individuals that are not meeting the needs of our nation’s veterans. H.R. 2686, the University Accountability Act: This bill would penalize tax-exempt universities and colleges that violate students' civil rights under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Additionally, if an institution received three civil rights violations, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) would be required to review the college or university's tax-exempt status for possible revocation. As anti-Semitism continues to flourish on colleges and university campuses, we must do more to protect Jewish students and hold colleges and universities that fail to uphold students’ rights accountable. This coincides with President Trump’s efforts to hold these failed institutions accountable for their neglect and abandonment of our students’ rights. H.R. 1569, the CATCH Fentanyl Act: This act would establish a pilot program to use innovative technology to detect and stop illicit drugs at border crossings. This pilot program would run through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Innovations Team, which would test the use of A.I. and other advanced technologies at the border. With drug traffickers smuggling deadly fentanyl into the country, we must support our law enforcement with the best available tools to keep our communities safe. Canandaigua Shootout for Soldiers Our team had a fantastic time attending the annual Shootout for Soldiers event in Canandaigua last weekend. Shootout for Soldiers is a national organization dedicated to supporting our veterans through the sport of lacrosse. Launched in 2012, the group hosts 24-hour lacrosse events that bring communities together to honor and assist those who have served our country. This year’s event featured over 100 lacrosse players, law enforcement officers, veterans groups, and other community leaders. Thank you to Director John Isaac and all the volunteers for your incredible work in support of our veterans.
