The War Dog Memorial Highway is now official!

The Governor has signed my legislation dedicating Route 28 in honor of the brave military working dogs who have served our nation with courage and loyalty.

As a former U.S. Marine, this means a great deal to me. These dogs and their handlers have sacrificed so much for our freedom — they deserve to be remembered.

Thank you to everyone who supported this effort.

July 25th is National Hire a Veteran Day. These men and women answered the call to serve our nation, and now it’s our turn to support them as they transition to civilian careers. If you’re a business owner in the Mohawk Valley or Adirondacks, consider hiring a veteran — you won’t find better employees.

Thank you to all who served! 🇺🇸

June 20th is — a chance to celebrate our nation’s majestic symbol of freedom and strength.

The bald eagle’s comeback is one of America’s great conservation success stories, and here in Upstate New York we’re fortunate to share the skies with these incredible birds. Let’s continue protecting our natural heritage for future generations. 🇺🇸🦅”

While Texas launches its own 'Y’all Street' stock exchange, the socialist Mayor of New York City continues to attack our financial hub. I’ve long opposed moves like expanding the stock transfer tax because it will drive stock traders jobs to places like Texas and Florida. Zohran Mamdani’s adversarial attitude toward this vital industry is weakening NYC’s position as the world’s financial capital and accelerating our population exodus.

We need to cut the red tape and make New York competitive again so our families and workers can thrive here at home.

What do you think?

Big business gets set for the emergence of ‘Y’all Street.’

July is Independent Retailer Month which is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the small businesses and family-owned shops that support our communities in the Mohawk Valley and Adirondacks.

These independent retailers create jobs and give our towns their unique character. When you shop local, you’re directly supporting your neighbors and keeping dollars right here in Upstate New York.
