Telehealth Access
I successfully fought to extend Medicare and Medicaid’s emergency telehealth waiver program for at least 22 months. During COVID-19, many patients have used telehealth services to treat their non-COVID-19 related health issues. We need to extend this waiver program so that our most vulnerable can continue to use this resource while staying safe from the […]
Curbing Opioid Abuse
I helped pass important legislation that will provide resources to treat opioid addiction and curb abuse in our communities, including limiting opioid supply for temporary-use patients and boosting controlled substance monitoring. The opioid crisis has unfortunately had devastating impacts on the North Country, and I am proud to be leading the effort to combat the […]
Fighting for our River Communities on Water Issues
After my advocacy, the International Joint Commissioners addressed the significant water level concerns of our River communities and began an expedited review and additional study of Plan 2014. I have heard directly from constituents impacted by rising water levels and have had the opportunity to see the flooding firsthand, and I will continue to work […]
COVID-19 Telehealth Funding
I was proud to secure over $25,000 in telehealth funding for Families First in Elizabethtown. This funding will ensure that North Country families can remotely receive the behavioral health services that they need, which is especially important during COVID-19.
Easing Stimulus Process for Seniors
I fought to make sure that seniors receiving Social Security would not have to file a tax return to receive their stimulus check. This was an important win to ensure that our seniors received the support they needed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Provided Tools and Guidance to Help with the Federal Grants Process
Securing federal funding can be a complicated task. That’s why my office sponsored FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Workshops to provide tools, additional information, and guidance to help make our fire departments and EMS agencies as competitive as possible. We’re grateful for our brave first responders and I am thrilled we were able to […]
Sharing My Schedule with You
I believe we need to bring more transparency to government. This was one of the core principles I campaigned on when I first ran. That is why I post my schedule on my website so you know who I am meeting with as your representative.
Making Washington Work for You
Identifying and applying for grants and federal loans can be a difficult and overwhelming task. Our office created a grants guide to help with the complex process – offering tips and resources for our constituents to easily access.
Fought for Seniors to Pass the Older Americans Act
I helped lead the effort to increase funding for the Older Americans Act in order to support our seniors and provide access to in-home and nutrition services, including Meals on Wheels.
Being Accountable to You
In 2014, I promised to bring transparency to Congress for the constituents of the North Country. I am one of the few members of Congress that posts the votes that I take online so you know how I voted and why.
