Dad. Husband. Veteran. Former Ulster County Exec. Working to solve problems & deliver results for #NY18.

Our community strongly rejects ICE moving into the Hudson Valley. It’s shameful, un-American, and the exact opposite of everything we stand for. When Trump tried to build a facility in Chester, we rallied with one voice to stop it – and we’re ready to do the same thing again.

The Hudson Valley is getting hit by a powerful nor’easter today. Please stay alert on the roads, don’t approach downed power lines, and track local conditions by texting “Dutchess”, “Orange”, or “Ulster” to 333-111. Thank you to our first responders & road crews hard at work to keep us safe!
A nor'easter bringing strong winds, heavy rain & coastal flooding is expected to impact parts of NY later today, with NYC, Long Island & the Hudson Valley facing the greatest risk. Power outages, flooding & downed trees are possible. Monitor your local forecast & be prepared.

From local law enforcement, to elected leaders, to nonprofits dedicated to keeping our communities, the Hudson Valley gun violence prevention coalition has done amazing work. Tackling this epidemic requires all-hands-on-deck, and we’re committed to working together to save lives.

There is nothing more important than keeping our communities – especially our kids – safe. While the Trump administration tries to roll back our efforts, I’m continuing to fight for commonsense gun safety legislation and to help make sure the people doing the work to keep our communities safe have the resources they need: patryan.house.gov/media/pres…

22 brave Americans have lost their lives in Trump’s war with Iran. At least three of those deaths directly resulted from President Xi sharing key intelligence about U.S. positions with Iran. When Xi comes to Washington tomorrow, Trump must hold him accountable.

I served 27 months in combat in Iraq as an Army Intelligence Officer – I know just how critical and sensitive this information is, and how dangerous it can become in the wrong hands. Trump thinks Xi has been ‘well behaved.’ We disagree. From intelligence sharing to assistance with weapons manufacturing, President Trump must send a strong clear message to Beijing that aiding the IRGC to kill U.S. troops will not be tolerated. patryan.house.gov/media/pres…

We must never forget the Patriots who fought for our country, but remain missing and unaccounted for. On this POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor their sacrifice, and promise to never stop fighting to bring them home.

Every Patriot deployed to this war in Iran – the 50,000 still in theater, the hundreds wounded, and especially the 18 killed – are American heroes. They deserve to be honored as such.

Instead, their sacrifices are being swept under the rug by a President and SecDef so humiliated by their failure that they’d rather dishonor the troops than tell the truth. It’s a total betrayal of our armed forces by the very people that swore to protect and do right by them.

Every single American – from the military families with loved ones deployed overseas, to the farmer buying fertilizer to feed our communities, to the mom filling up her gas tank – is feeling the impact of this reckless war with Iran.

The American people want this war to end – and it's past time for Trump, Hegseth, and all their allies in Congress to listen. Every time we force my Republican colleagues to face the facts, more and more of them vote with us. We’ve now voted three times, in a bipartisan way, to end the war.

But Trump continues to ignore the will of the people. My bill to prohibit the use of more taxpayer dollars now has more than 60 cosponsors and would cut off his recklessness at the source. The dam is breaking – we have to keep up the pressure. I’m going to keep fighting everyday, with every fiber of my being, to end this war and bring our troops home. patryan.house.gov/media/pres…
