Standing Up for Our Veterans

This week, Andrew reintroduced the bipartisan Veteran Suicide Prevention Act. Too many of our nation’s veterans have been lost to suicide, and every one of those lives is a reminder that more must be done. This legislation would require the VA to take a comprehensive review of the factors contributing to veteran suicide so gaps in care can be identified and lives can be saved.

Keeping Long Island Communities Safe

Earlier this week, Andrew voted for the Kayla Hamilton Act, an important step toward strengthening vetting and protecting communities. As Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Andrew remains focused on keeping Long Island families safe and preventing violent crime tied to gang activity.

Honored for Bipartisan Leadership

Andrew was honored this week to accept Center Forward’s Advancing Good Governance Award. Andrew believes good governance means working across the aisle, focusing on solutions, and delivering real results for Long Island.

He remains committed to putting people first and working toward practical outcomes in Congress.

Delivering Results for Homeowners and Small Businesses

Two bills sponsored by Andrew advanced this week in the House Financial Services Committee, marking an important step in the legislative process.

H.R. 5577, the NFIP Extension Act, would keep the National Flood Insurance Program fully operational through Fiscal Year 2026, even during government funding lapses. This is especially important for Long Island homeowners, where flood insurance is often required to secure a mortgage.

H.R. 4130, the Small Business Relief Act, would modernize outdated SEC rules that can force growing private companies into costly public registration. This bill would help Long Island businesses grow without being burdened by unnecessary compliance costs.

Andrew believes Long Island families and small businesses depend on stability and predictability to plan and invest, and these bills address real challenges facing the region.
