Long Island families and small businesses deserve an economy that rewards hard work, encourages investment, and creates opportunity.
As a third-generation small business owner, I understand the challenges facing employers, entrepreneurs, and working families. That’s why I have fought to lower taxes, reduce unnecessary regulations, and create an environment where businesses can grow and create jobs.
I helped secure an increase in the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction from $10,000 to $40,000 and fought to preserve the Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) deduction, providing meaningful tax relief for Long Island families and small businesses.
As Vice Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, I helped advance the INVEST Act to expand access to capital for small businesses and the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to increase housing supply and improve affordability.
I will continue fighting to strengthen Long Island’s economy, support small businesses, create good-paying jobs, and expand opportunities for New York families.

Long Island is home to more than 800,000 veterans, and I believe we have a solemn obligation to ensure they receive the care, benefits, and support they have earned.
Supporting our veterans has been one of my top priorities since taking office. I established my Veterans Advisory Council to ensure Long Island veterans have a direct voice in my work, and I have championed legislation to improve health care, expand earned benefits, strengthen mental health services, and support Veteran Service Organizations through my VSO Support Act.
I was proud to support bipartisan legislation including the PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act and the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, while also helping secure permanent funding for the World Trade Center Health Program and fighting to protect access to care at the Northport VA Medical Center.
Our veterans fulfilled their promise to America. I will always fight to fulfill our promise to them.

Keeping Long Island families safe has always been one of my top priorities. I believe we must stand with the brave men and women in law enforcement, give them the tools they need to do their jobs, and ensure our communities remain safe.
I have consistently opposed efforts to defund the police and have fought to strengthen law enforcement at every level. I introduced the POLICE Act, which makes assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder a deportable offense. The bill passed the House and sends a clear message that attacks on those who protect our communities will not be tolerated.
As Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, I helped secure $140 million in federal funding for counterterrorism and emergency preparedness across New York, including $1.8 million for Nassau and Suffolk Counties. I continue working with local law enforcement and first responders to ensure they have the resources needed to combat crime, respond to emerging threats, and keep Long Island families safe.
I will always Back the Blue, support our first responders, and fight for policies that strengthen public safety and uphold the rule of law.

Securing our nation’s borders is essential to protecting our communities, combating transnational crime, and safeguarding our national security. I believe the federal government has a responsibility to enforce our immigration laws, stop the flow of fentanyl and other deadly drugs, and provide our law enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents with the resources they need to keep America safe.
As Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, I have made border security and combating transnational criminal organizations top priorities. I have worked to strengthen oversight of the Department of Homeland Security, secure our borders, and ensure our immigration system prioritizes public safety and national security.
I have visited the southern border, met directly with Border Patrol agents, and seen firsthand the challenges they face every day. Those conversations have reinforced my commitment to securing the border, stopping human trafficking, disrupting drug cartels, and preventing violent gangs from bringing crime into communities like Long Island.
I introduced the POLICE Act (H.R. 2494), which makes assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder a deportable offense. The legislation passed the House of Representatives and reinforces the principle that anyone who attacks the men and women who protect our communities should face serious consequences.
I have also advanced legislation to combat transnational criminal organizations, including the Tren de Aragua Border Security Threat Assessment Act, requiring the Department of Homeland Security to develop a comprehensive strategy to address the growing threat posed by violent criminal organizations operating across our borders.
Keeping Long Island safe means securing America’s borders. I will continue fighting to strengthen border security, support our law enforcement officers, stop the flow of fentanyl, and ensure dangerous criminals are kept out of our communities.

Long Island’s economy and quality of life depend on affordable, reliable energy and a healthy environment. I believe we can strengthen America’s energy security while protecting the natural resources that make Long Island such a special place to call home.
I support an all-of-the-above energy strategy that expands American energy production, strengthens our electric grid, and reduces our reliance on foreign adversaries. As Co-Chair of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and a member of the Conservative Climate Caucus, I have worked to advance practical, market-driven solutions that encourage innovation, strengthen our economy, and protect our environment.
I also fought to preserve key clean energy tax incentives for technologies like nuclear power, hydropower, geothermal energy, and energy storage, helping ensure America remains competitive while maintaining a reliable energy supply.
Protecting Long Island’s environment remains one of my top priorities. I have secured millions of dollars for sewer infrastructure, coastal resiliency, flood mitigation, and water quality projects that protect the Great South Bay and communities throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
I believe we can grow our economy, strengthen our energy independence, and preserve Long Island’s natural resources for future generations.
