Rochester is grieving once again after another act of senseless violence. Our hearts are with the victims, their families, the first responders, and every neighbor whose sense of safety has been shaken. We must continue to support law enforcement and hold those responsible for violence accountable.....

Last night in Rochester, the Democrats held a mock "hearing" on Voter protection. The position of the Democratic Party on Elections does not align with the common sense principle most Americans believe in - as we live in a world where showing I.D is often a requirement...

Here is the reply of our Republican Candidate for Congress on Voter protection: Virginia McIntryre.....

"Every eligible voter should have confidence that their vote will be counted accurately and that our elections are secure, transparent, and accessible. Protecting voting rights and protecting election integrity should not be partisan goals. They should be responsibilities shared by both parties.
I support requiring voters to present identification, while ensuring that any eligible citizen who cannot afford or easily obtain an ID is provided one free of charge. This is a reasonable safeguard that can be implemented without preventing eligible citizens from voting.
A Siena poll published earlier this year found that 54% of New Yorkers support mandatory photo identification for voting and proof of citizenship when registering. That support included 63% of independent voters. Those results show that election security is not merely a partisan concern—it is an issue that matters to a broad cross-section of New Yorkers."

"I was disappointed that today’s hearing featured only like-minded participants and was not widely publicized. A meaningful discussion about election security should include election officials, community members, voting-rights advocates, and representatives with differing perspectives. Public confidence is strengthened through openness, transparency, and bipartisan participation. It should also be noted that on July 22, thirteen House Democrats joined Republicans in voting for H.R. 7008, legislation that included voter-identification provisions. While the bill addressed additional issues, that bipartisan vote shows that support for legislation containing voter-ID safeguards is not limited to one political party."
