Serving the Hudson Valley
January 2023
Team,
Since the whirlwind first week of the new Congress, our team has been hard at work delivering results for the people of the Hudson Valley.
My team and I work tirelessly every single day to show that we’re going to rebuild trust from the bottom up by listening, showing up, and fulfilling the promises of our campaign.
From holding Washington extremists accountable for their harmful policy proposals to working across the aisle to bring funding, jobs, and resources to our communities, rest assured that I’m hard at work for you and your family.
Here's a bit of what our team has been up to:

A Note on Central Hudson
I began raising questions and called for an investigation into Central Hudson’s billing practices almost a year ago in my capacity as then County Executive. Since then, the New York State Public Service Commission issued a report alleging wrongdoing by the utility. That step was a resounding victory for the people of the Hudson Valley, who for too long have been the victim of corporate greed and gross incompetence from Central Hudson. Back in December, I called on Central Hudson to finally admit to their mistakes and to immediately begin the work of remedying individual customer grievances. I will not settle until the thousands of customers who have fallen victim to Central Hudson’s reprehensible practices are made whole.
Last week, the Albany Times Union reported that a class action lawsuit has been filed against the utility for breach of contract and several other allegations. This lawsuit is another step toward justice for consumers. I continue, on a daily basis, to hear from constituents about the abhorrent billing practices and lack of customer service by Central Hudson. Thousands of complaints and millions of dollars of customers’ money later, Central Hudson continues to lie about their systems, deny any wrongdoing, and refuse accountability. It’s shameful. I want you to know personally that I will continue working around the clock with state, local, and federal partners to ensure every customer who has been wrongly preyed upon has their voice heard and their issues remedied. While this process continues to play out, you may report Central Hudson issues directly to the New York State Public Service Commission by visiting this link. [[link removed]]
We are in this fight together.


Team, January marks the start of a new year and new priorities, and I’m listening to folks across NY-18 to hear what matters most to them.
Thanks so much for following our work — it means a lot to know you’re paying attention and working with me to protect fundamental rights and deliver relief to our Hudson Valley communities.
Yours in service,
Pat
