Congressman Kennedy has always stood up for working families. He is fighting back against politicization of our civil service and dangerous tariffs that will cost Western New York jobs and increase the cost of living. He is supporting legislation to stop union-busting efforts and stand up against extreme Republicans working to roll back labor protections.

Republicans have passed senseless and cruel cuts that will take away health care for seniors, children, families, disabled, and the most vulnerable Americans. They are gutting the Social Security Administration and laying off workers who help veterans receive the benefits they have earned. All to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Congressman Kennedy will never stop standing up against these dangerous and reckless policies that hurt our community. He will continue fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – and supports strengthening these programs to make health care more affordable and accessible for all Western New Yorkers.

In the face of unprecedented attacks on women and marginalized communities, Congressman Kennedy is standing up for everyone in our community. He is pushing back on extreme Republicans and defending our constitutional rights. He supports a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions and believes diversity is our greatest strength. He will always speak out against discrimination, intolerance and hate.

After the racist terrorist shooting in Buffalo on May 14, 2022, that took 10 lives and injured 3 innocent people, Congressman Kennedy passed the strongest and most comprehensive gun safety laws in the nation as a New York State Senator. He has taken that fight to Washington, sponsoring legislation to ban assault weapons, military-grade body armor and ensure our local law enforcement agencies have the resources they need to keep dangerous weapons and violent criminals off our streets.

As a member of the House of Representatives, Congressman Kennedy strongly believes in the checks and balances between the branches of government articulated in the Constitution. Sadly, the Republican Party has fallen victim to a want-to-be dictator and has completely ignored their responsibility as a co-equal branch of government. Congressman Kennedy is working every day to change Washington so our government works again as intended – by, and for, the people.
