When politicians trade stocks, they erode public trust.

A collapse in public trust has serious consequences for our nation.

Donald Trump promised to "drain the swamp."

He has done anything but.

Donald Trump's threats to strip federal funding from sanctuary cities and states is un-American.

Mr. President, you cannot come to Rochester and tell us how to run our community. Stay out.

Our government is not trusted by our own citizens. We need real changes, like a real congressional stock trading ban, to start restoring trust.

The Republicans' Stock Trading bill is just more Washington fake fixes. It does nothing.

Congratulations to the Monroe Red Jackets football team on their historic NYS Class B State Championship win.

This team showed us what is possible when talent meets determination and when hard work rises above the challenges you face.

The Trump administration’s attempt to intimidate Fed Chair Jerome Powell is a blatant abuse of power and it puts real families at risk.
January 13, 2026 at 11:16 PM
I'm committed to a total stock trading ban that will help restore faith in our government.

Members of Congress, the President, Vice President, members of the cabinet and the Supreme Court should not be allowed to trade individual stocks.

The Voting Rights Act has been reauthorized under Republican and Democratic presidents and Congresses, until now.

Now, it's under attack by the Trump administration, and when Americans have their rights constrained, we don't have a democracy anymore.

Honesty and transparency should not be too much to ask for from the President of the United States.

Renee Nicole Good should be alive today.

Today, House Democrats passed an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits that help working families afford care.

This is a big victory for the American people, now it's time for the Senate to act.

Childcare is not a luxury. When parents lose childcare, they can’t work. When they can’t work, they lose income, critical benefits, and housing stability.

The Trump administration is knowingly and deliberately making the affordability crisis worse.

Representing Rochester in Congress is a great responsibility and privilege, and I’m thankful each day for the trust our community has placed in me.
January 7, 2026 at 6:17 PM
We cannot forget what happened on this day.
January 7, 2026 at 12:55 AM
President Trump lit the flame that started the January 6th attack on our Capitol, and Congressional Republicans who continue to choose cowardice and protect the guilty have only fanned the flames.

The expiration of ACA subsidies is destabilizing our entire healthcare system.

Whether or not you rely on these subsidies, everyone will pay the price.
January 5, 2026 at 8:31 PM
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2026. Here’s to everything ahead!

Rochester’s world-class universities, research centers, and innovative businesses need sustained support to compete on the global stage.

I’m driving a long-term effort to secure our leadership in high-tech innovation and build a stronger, more resilient local economy.

I'm grateful to Leader Jeffries for trusting me with the responsibility of leading my colleagues to protect our values and author anti-corruption reforms. We WILL put the power of our democracy back into the hands of hardworking Americans.

I've spent my career fighting for gun safety reform, and it's one of my top priorities in Congress.

There is still so much work to do to keep families safe.

Trump's policies will leave millions of Americans without access to affordable healthcare.

I'm committed to bringing down the cost of healthcare delivery, so everyone can access the lifesaving care they need.
December 28, 2025 at 11:02 PM
Our country is struggling with an affordability crisis fueled by the Trump administrations chaotic and reckless policies.

In 2025, bringing down prices for families was a top priority for me, and I'll keep fighting to help hardworking Americans make ends meet.

As we begin the seven days of Kwanzaa, I wish a peaceful and reflective week to all those celebrating here in Rochester and across the world.
December 26, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Today, may we all take time to celebrate the most precious gifts of all: our health, happiness, and loved ones.

From the Morelle family to yours, we wish you peace, joy, and a merry Christmas!
December 25, 2025 at 2:35 PM
Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas while I prep one of our seven fishes for Christmas Eve!
