Protecting Yourself and Your Organization From Cyber Crime As you may know, Suffolk County is still reeling from the impact of the cyberattack perpetrated a few months ago. Government servers are not the only systems at risk for these types of crimes which is why Andrew, as Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection, wants you to know there are resources available to help you protect yourself. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) offers many FREE resources for individuals, for small businesses, for schools, and more. CISA even has a specific team to provide cybersecurity and infrastructure security services to New York and our entire region. For more information, visit CISA.gov or contact our office. KEEPING UP WITH CONGRESS Andrew Denounces Socialism Socialism has no place in the United States of America. It is antithetical to American values and the Founding Fathers’ belief in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's why this week, Andrew and a bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives voted in favor of H. Con. Res. 9, a Resolution to denounce socialism in all its forms, and voice opposition to implementing socialist policies in the United States of America. Andrew Votes To End COVID National Health Emergency In President Joe Biden's own words from September 2022, "the pandemic is over." And yet the federal government is still operating as if it is not. That's why this week, Andrew voted in favor of H.R. 382, the Pandemic is Over Act, which would officially end the COVID-19 public health emergency and President Biden’s use of pandemic related emergency powers so that our country can move forward and return to normal operating procedure.
