In her four terms, Chairwoman Elise has delivered real results for her community. Her Bipartisan effort have led to jobs, better health care, veterans benefits, and protections for our rights.
Elise fought to ensure that the Department of Transportation selected SkyWest Airlines to provide Essential Air Service to Ogdensburg. SkyWest will provide twelve round trips per community each week to Chicago and Washington, D.C. This two-year contract will enable North Country residents to reach two of the country’s major transportation hubs.
I introduced bipartisan legislation that will establish personal reemployment accounts to help displaced workers get the training and skills necessary for steady employment. COVID-19 has taken an economic toll on our North Country families, and this legislation will provide training to workers who have been impacted by the pandemic and allow them to secure a meaningful career.
I secured nearly $6 million in grant funding for North Country airports, who have taken a financial hit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Improving these facilities will allow NY-21 residents, as well as visitors, to have enhanced and safe travel opportunities.
I cosponsored the JUSTICE Act, legislation to improve police-community relations, increase transparency and accountability, and improve officer training. I’m proud to support our brave law enforcement and will always fight to give them the resources they need to keep our communities safe.
The Northern Border Regional Commission grants and projects have made a significant impact in our communities located along the Canadian border. I have seen the success of many of these projects firsthand, which is why I introduced a bill to make the grant program even more accessible to our local communities. This legislation is an important step in increasing access to the program, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I was proud to be a leading advocate for clarity and consistency in New York’s reopening policies, and I worked directly with many of our NY-21 small businesses to help provide them with the resources they needed to reopen as safely and swiftly as possible.
Your donation will help bring Elise the support she needs to keep fighting for the issues that matter and provide real results.
