We are seeing an alarming rise in antisemitism across the country, and the incident that occurred on Tuesday night is a stark reminder of that. For an individual to belligerently confront me because they believed I was Jewish is shocking and unacceptable. Worse than that, however, was the antisemitic diatribe that followed — blaming Jews for a myriad of issues. In NY-17, I’m proud to represent one of the largest Jewish populations in the United States, and I will always stand up for them and for all of my constituents.

The Dignity Act would grant legal status to a segment of the illegal population that meets certain criteria such as: - Not having committed a crime in the United States as well as in their country of origin. - They cannot collect government benefits. Period. - They must pay all back taxes and a fine for coming into the United States illegally. If this criteria is not met, that is grounds for deportation.

Thank you again to President Trump for coming to Rockland county to speak with New Yorkers to highlight what we were able to accomplish in the tax cuts bill. I also want to thank President Trump for honoring Welles Crowther with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, recognizing his extraordinary courage, selflessness, and lasting legacy. It was also meaningful to see Yorktown’s Sheridan Gorman recognized, with her mother’s remarks leaving not a dry eye in the room.

The fact is, since Mike Bloomberg left office in 2013, New York City’s budget has increased by $40 billion, a 50% increase, on top of New York State increasing its spending by over $100 billion. New York City now spends more than the entire state of Florida, despite Florida having about 23 million residents and NYC just over 8 million. And Zohran Mamdani is set to worsen the city’s fiscal situation by demanding that Kathy Hochul and the state legislature raise taxes by $9 billion, or else he will increase city property taxes by 9.5%, the highest in the country.

The American people were rightly frustrated during the Biden years, when we had open borders, allowing more than 10.5 million migrants to flood into the country. Over the last nine months, illegal border crossings have effectively stopped with net-zero crossings. Most Americans agree that we need to deport criminal aliens. I also believe that most Americans agree that if you have been in this country for a number of years, are working, have not committed crimes, and have children or grandchildren who are American citizens, there should be a legal path forward. This is not amnesty or a pathway to citizenship under any circumstances for anyone who broke our laws by coming to the United States.

As a lifelong New Yorker, I am stunned by where we are today. Mamdani has appointed an attorney who represented a 9/11-linked al-Qaeda terrorist as his chief counsel. One of his first acts was to repeal executive orders that defined antisemitism and ensured that city agencies enforced that definition. This is truly mind boggling.

Zohran Mamdani and Kathy Hochul are making New York unaffordable for families across the board. Utility costs along have gone up 58 percent since the shutdown of Indian Point. I delivered on tax relief for New Yorkers by lifting the cap on SALT while Kathy Hochul and Zohran Mamdani want to raise taxes on New Yorkers. It’s a disaster.

Cait Conley polls three points above the generic Democrat when nobody even knows who she is? That tells you everything about how rigged and meaningless these early ‘push polls’ are. What is clear is that Beth Davidson’s campaign is on life support. Conley still refuses to say whether she supports Zohran Mamdani for mayor of NYC. Watch the video. If you can’t answer a simple question like that, you’re not ready to represent the Hudson Valley.

Probably the best pizza in New York City, but definitely the biggest in NYC.🍕

The focus of DHS should remain where it belongs—on removing dangerous criminal illegal immigrants who pose a threat and keeping our communities safe. At the same time, sanctuary jurisdictions must be ended nationwide so local law enforcement can fully cooperate in enforcing immigration laws and keeping the public safe.
