I remain committed to improving the government services to which Hudson Valley veterans are entitled.
Promoting job creation and economic growth in the Hudson Valley is one of my top priorities in Congress.
I work with a couple charities called Serving Those Who Serve and Rebuilding Together. Both are supportive of veterans when they come home.

It is essential that we provide the best possible care for our wounded and disabled veterans.
As one of the voices of rural New Yorkers in Congress, I am committed to supporting efforts such as these that will make a real impact in people's lives.
I want people to get involved and to connect with veterans.
I've been active in animal rights and all kinds of environmental stuff and children's charities over the years.
From day one, my focus as a new-breed appropriator was to look for areas where we could save taxpayer dollars.
