Today’s jobs report shows that job growth is accelerating and President Biden’s economic plan is working. The economy added 850,000 jobs in June, exceeding expectations. https://t.co/QtKtbHYYUZ

I have secured 5 Capital Region infrastructure projects totaling nearly $20M in our INVEST in America Act that just passed in the House. I’ll keep pushing until we bring these federal dollars home to help our communities grow and thrive. https://t.co/omCBSeDYWf

Reversing rollbacks on America’s most important environmental protections will literally save billions of dollars and millions of lives. Proud to stand with President Biden @POTUS and my colleagues to celebrate signing this resolution to restore U.S. methane rules. https://t.co/S1DLi4CBtj

Today, @POTUS & @VP are announcing a comprehensive strategy to combat gun violence that targets the crime itself, implements preventative measures that are proven to reduce violent crime, & attacks root causes; including by addressing the flow of firearms used to commit crimes.

Proud to lead my @EnergyCommerce subcommittee in a markup of 3 bills—including my AQUA Act—aimed to improve safe drinking water & take action on PFAS chemicals. Check out my opening statement https://t.co/u5rTIl5kvr

My reaction to @JoeBiden’s first joint address to Congress. We have come along way from the dark winter of this pandemic, but we have still more challenges ahead. I stand ready to work with this Administration to do the people’s work and build us back better than ever. https://t.co/0kExlFF0pT

Our restaurants have shown incredible resilience through this COVID pandemic. I'm proud to join @SenSchumer in calling for @SBAgov to act quickly to ensure our cherished Main Street institutions can access vital funds delivered in our #AmericanRescuePlan. https://t.co/hc8TOGzrwK

@HouseDemocrats said we would fight for a big, bold #COVID rescue for the American people and we are keeping that promise. Congress must pass President Biden's #AmericanRescuePlan and get lifesaving help out to our workers, businesses, families and communities ASAP.

Apprenticeships help hundreds of thousands of workers each year find paid on-the-job training and a secure place in America's middle class. Today, I will stand with workers and vote 'YES' on H.R. 447 to create nearly 1 MILLION new apprenticeship opportunities! https://t.co/bn2dBUxcHk

Real science doesn't serve political power—it tries to tell us the truth. I introduced the Scientific Integrity Act to ensure these scientific standards are protected under the full force of law. Joe Biden’s executive actions brought us a big step closer. https://t.co/irAuwUZd5y

@Pfheg67 @JesseMacTV @PhilSteck @colinschmitt Respectfully, this is a state issue and outside Congressman Tonko's jurisdiction as a federal representative. Thank you for reaching out. - campaign staff

This will not affect the direction of my votes on any issues. I remain absolutely committed to removing President Trump from office immediately and taking whatever steps are necessary to hold every person who contributed to this deadly act of treason accountable. /end

Last year, more than 70,000 Americans lost their lives to drug overdoses. This #RecoveryMonth, I’m standing with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to spread awareness & recommit to help our loved ones find and follow the path of recovery. https://t.co/EECwEX0L5c

I told my mom I’d make it on a Wheaties Box one day. Proud to show her that dream come true thanks to this great honor, @scicoalition’s 2020 #ChampionofScience award! I will always fight to ensure science drives our politics and not the other way around. https://t.co/fbOGRJR4vQ

If your only reason for ending the $600/week lifeline for unemployed workers is fear that people won’t go back to work, good news! Evidence says otherwise.

Politicizing science & benching our public health experts has led to countless deaths during this pandemic. Putting key data in the hands of partisan political leaders & keeping CDC & the public at arm’s length weakens our pandemic response at the worst moment yet in this crisis.

On this Independence Day, may our celebrations lift the heaviest of hearts, herald the bright dawns of our nation, and renew faith that—in service of one other and a true spirit of freedom—we can weather any storm. E Pluribus Unum https://t.co/saWRnGG6wm

We have seen too many lives taken and communities devastated by police brutality and racial profiling. Action is long overdue. Proud to cast my vote in support of the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act to answer the calls for justice being made by Americans across the nation. https://t.co/KpXcZUZedA

Our House infrastructure package delivers more than $23 billion in drinking water support to ensure our communities are protected from harmful pollutants. https://t.co/woISJoqq5Z 2/2

Access to safe drinking water is a right, not a privilege. Unfortunately that right is denied to millions of Americans whose water is contaminated or lost to failing water systems. https://t.co/uNoPu5l3Fc 1/2

The U.S. Supreme Court voted correctly on this one. In a just and fair nation, a person should not—and must not—be fired for who they are and who they love.

A message to the Class of 2020

With more than 100,000 Americans already lost to COVID-19, it's more vital than ever that we move forward with a sound course of action. The Heroes Act does just that, ensuring our workers, families & communities have the tools needed to face this crisis. https://t.co/oGQHVMz1W6

Can you imagine dealing with this crisis with little or no access to broadband internet? Many in Upstate New York face this challenge every day, yet despite our efforts the FCC continues to ignore and overlook our communities. https://t.co/eG7MIiiWo6 1/2
