I am proud to announce that I have earned a 100% on the American Energy Alliance’s energy scorecard, granting me the title 2022 American Energy Champion. In the face of Democrats’ war on American energy that has failed hardworking Americans, I am proud to provide a critical check on their reckless Green New Deal policies that have caused the prices of gas and home heating oil to skyrocket. It is an honor to earn the title American Energy Champion for my work supporting legislation to drive down energy costs and unleash American energy dominance on behalf of hardworking families in Upstate New York and the North Country. 

I was honored for the opportunity to commemorate the life of United States Army Private First Class Howard Richard “Dick” Neahr at the Saratoga Deceased Veterans Remembrance Ceremony this week. Dick served in World War II and, even after he was shot in the leg during the Battle of Bulge, he bravely returned to the battlefield just eight weeks later to fight to preserve the freedom of our nation. It comes as no surprise that he was well-decorated for his many actions of bravery and was awarded with some of the military’s highest honors, including the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.

I presented Dick’s family with the medals he earned during his valiant service, as well as a Congressional Record recognizing his legacy of service and a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in his honor. I will continue to honor the service of NY-21’s many veterans and work to ensure that they receive the benefits they have earned, the education they desire, and the jobs and support they need.

I am proud to cosponsor the Prison Camera Reform Act, bipartisan legislation which would address critical deficiencies in the surveillance and communication equipment used in federal prisons. Outdated and inadequate equipment jeopardize the safety of the nation’s correctional officers. The bill would direct the Bureau of Prisons to evaluate the condition of its security and communications equipment and implement a plan to address any deficiencies discovered during the evaluation. I am proud to support legislation to give correctional officers tools to increase their safety on the job.

In New York’s 21st District, we are proud of our history and believe it deserves to be honored. This Monday marked the anniversary of British General John Burgoyne’s surrender at Saratoga, marking critical moment in securing American independence. In honor of this and as the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Saratoga approaches in 2027, I called on the Secretary of the Navy to name a new U.S. Navy ship after Saratoga to honor this historic battle and memorialize its significance in American democracy.



These moments should continue to be celebrated and remembered as a critical moment in securing American independence.
