Last year, I said that if Zohran Mamdani was elected, he would become the face of the Democratic Party and the most political mayor in the history of New York City. The fact is, Zohran is a Marxist and he is leading the charge, along with AOC and Bernie Sanders, not just in New York, but across the country.

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.

Today I stood with Tom and Jessica Gorman outside the Yorktown Police Department. This month, when we should have been celebrating Sheridan's birthday, Jessica finally found the courage to open the letter her daughter wrote in her senior year at Yorktown High School. It was a class assignment addressed to her future self, a future that was stolen from her. It ended with one line: "Make sure you love up Mom and Dad. And remember to always be kind." Sheridan Gorman was, in her mother's words, 18 years of pure light. She was murdered in Chicago by a man who never should have been in this country. He was detained at the border and released. Arrested again and then released, again. "A 10-second phone call from the Chicago Police Department to ICE could have saved my daughter's life," Jessica told us today. "Ten seconds." And as Tom said: "For politicians, sanctuary policy is a debate. But for me, sanctuary policy has a face. It is the face of my beautiful, spirited 18-year-old daughter." The Gormans should not have had to stand at a podium today. They did it so no other family has to. Governor Hochul, listen to them. End New York's sanctuary policies. Put public safety first. For once in your career, listen to the victims of crime and stand with them, rather than with the criminals.

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.

I’ve challenged my opponent to six debates and even offered to hold them in territory that are a bit more favorable to her. Voters deserve to hear from both candidates, but she continues to refuse because she can’t clearly articulate or defend her positions. If you want to represent the 17th District in Congress, you should be willing to debate.

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.

It is an absolute disgrace that Reps. Jayapal and Raskin would not even listen to the tragic story of Sheridan Gorman, a constituent of mine from Yorktown, who was senselessly murdered by an illegal immigrant protected by Democrats’ sanctuary policies. Sanctuary policies have real consequences, and I will continue to fight to end them.

Cait Conley has ignored my challenge to six televised debates. This race is too important for canned talking points and attacks from the sidelines. Voters deserve to hear directly from both candidates on taxes, public safety, energy costs, and the future of the Hudson Valley. Come on Cait, let’s debate!

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.

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.

I said last year that Zohran Mamdani would become the face of the Democratic Party and the most political mayor in New York City history. Since taking office, he has used City Hall as a platform to help elect radical socialists across New York. The Democratic Party is being used as a vehicle to advance this radical socialism.

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.

My record is very clear and speaks for itself. I’ve been rated among the most bipartisan and effective members of Congress, I’ve pushed back on the President and the administration when necessary, and I have fought to deliver real results for my district. I show up everywhere and engage with everyone across the district on the issues that matter.
