From childcare to workforce training, the Broome County Urban League knows what our families need to get ahead, and is fighting to deliver. Great to catch up with Jennifer about how we can make sure working people get a square deal.

Everywhere I go, I hear from folks being crushed by rising utility bills. While Upstate New Yorkers are struggling just to the keep the lights on, corporate monopolies are raking in record profits. Enough is enough. I’m taking the Public Service Commission to court to overturn Central Hudson’s rate hike because Hudson Valley families deserve relief, not another increase. timesunion.com/hudsonvalley/n…

Upstate New York has always been a hub for innovation, and the students I met at the BT-BOCES App Challenge are proving that tradition is in good hands! Loved talking with the next generation of engineers and developers about their big ideas.

When Barbland & White Eagle Dairies hit a wall with the USDA over a $448k conservation grant, my team cut through the red tape to get them what they were owed. It was great to catch up with Luke, see their incredible operation in person, and chat about how we can make Washington work for the family farmers who keep Upstate moving.

Thank you @RepRileyNY for introducing the NSF Plant Biology Act to support critical food systems research. At CALS, NSF funding drives fundamental plant and microbial biology science that benefits food and agriculture producers. congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

Every single person in Upstate New York should have access to quality healthcare they can afford, and that starts with supporting the people who provide it. I'm thrilled to announce $1 million to expand nursing education in Johnson City: to give our nurses the backup they deserve, tackle the healthcare shortage, and help folks find good-paying jobs right here at home.

Calling all NY-19 high school artists: Submissions are now open for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition! We’re looking for original artwork to represent Upstate New York in the halls of the U.S. Capitol. Learn more at riley.house.gov/art and submit your work by April 3.

I was one of the 26 Democrats who voted to release these files because I believe Washington needs more transparency and accountability, not less. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

Great to be at @Cornell last weekend for the groundbreaking of Harkavy Hall — a new, dedicated home for Cornell Hillel and the campus Jewish community.

Proud to have delivered $250,000 for the Hudson Public Square Renovation in the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development spending bill. This funding will restore Seventh Street Park, improve safety and accessibility, and preserve a historic public space for Hudson families. dailygazette.com/hv360/local/u-…

Insurance companies are treating our healthcare system like their personal piggy bank, hiking premiums and pocketing the profits. My bipartisan Care Over Profits Act puts an end to it, forcing them to spend more on your actual care and less on their own bottom line.

I've got a simple message for the Manhattan politicians who think they can tell our dairy farmers how to run their businesses: Try visiting a barn before you regulate one. NYC politicians can stick to the subways, and keep their hands off our herds.

Our farmers are the heart and soul of Upstate New York, and I'm proud to deliver a Farm Bill that puts them first. We’re getting it done for the people who feed our communities. dailyfreeman.com/2026/03/06/ril…

The old police station in East Greenbush is outdated and expensive to keep up. I'm thrilled to announce $850,000 for a new, modern headquarters - because our community, and the officers who protect it, deserve the best tools for the job. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/capital-re…

NYSEG thinks a lawsuit will stop me from calling out the $450 million they just funneled to Spain. They’re wrong. They can send all the cease-and-desist letters they want but it won't change the fact that they're hiking your rates to pad foreign profits. I won't be intimidated into staying quiet while Upstate families get ripped off. thedailystar.com/news/local_new…

99% of tractor tragedies are preventable with a simple roll bar, but for many farmers, the math just doesn't work. My bipartisan bill uses a solution from right here in Upstate New York to ensure no farmer has to choose between their life and their livelihood.

Our rural hospitals are already hanging on by a thread. You can’t tear a trillion dollars out of our healthcare system and expect them to survive. I’m fighting to reverse these cuts and make sure everyone has access to the care they deserve.

This isn't complicated: if you sacrificed for this country, you shouldn’t have to fight your own government for six bucks a day to buy a meal. No more excuses.

Multibillion-dollar companies sold products that gave farmers cancer, and now they’re using armies of lobbyists to buy the best legal immunity money can buy. It’s wrong, and I won't stand for it.
