Serving the Hudson Valley has been the greatest honor of my life, and I'm proud of the wins I’ve delivered for New York and the American people. From delivering historic tax relief, raising the SALT cap, securing our border, and strengthening our national security and America’s pic.x.com/yfB7trXzd1assing groundbreaking crypto legislation to reaffirm the United States as the leader in the digital economy, I’ve shown what's possible when you put common-sense solutions above partisan politics.
Under Kathy Hochul, New York has the highest taxes, the worst business climate, and leads the nation in outmigration. In short, Kathy Hochul is the worst Governor in America and must be defeated in 2026. Over the past six months, I have given considerable thought as to how I can best serve New York — whether in Albany or Washington.
While I fundamentally believe I am best positioned to take on Kathy Hochul and offer New Yorkers a real choice for Governor, I have made the decision to run for re-election to the House and continue the important work I’ve been doing over the past two and a half years. There’s more work ahead, and I remain focused on putting New York families first.

Our financial markets thrive on certainty. The uncertainty caused by the previous administration harmed consumers and handicapped innovation in crypto markets. By establishing clear guidelines, we're encouraging investment, innovation, and job creation right here at home. This is how America stays ahead in the digital economy for decades to come.

By creating a sensible regulatory framework, we’re protecting consumers, boosting market confidence, and cementing America's leadership in the digital pic.x.com/3qqgy40T4yssage secured and the bill now heading to the President’s desk, today marks a significant victory for responsible innovation. I am proud to support legislation that keeps America competitive, secure, and at the forefront of the digital economy.

Today, the House passed the Clarity Act. This legislation is a desperately needed game-changer for American innovation and our digital economy. This bill will provide the critical regulatory clarity for digital assets that is necessary to ensure the U.S. remains the undisputed global leader in the digital economy.

I joined Seward & Kissel for a fireside chat, discussing the national debt, crypto, capital markets, the economy, and the majority’s priorities in the 119th Congress. Happy to share there will not be a tax bill that doesn’t lift the SALT cap

Just NOW: “The purpose of this bill has nothing to do with Donald Trump and Elon Musk, despite the hours of commentary we’ve heard today…”
The true purpose of the STABLE Act is to set up a regulatory framework to ensure transparency and accountability with stablecoins in the digital economy.

The United States is the largest economy in the world and enacting legislation to regulate stablecoins is key to American innovation and will ensure we remain a leader in the digital economy.

President Trump’s decision to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile will ensure America remains at the forefront of the blockchain and digital asset revolution and deserves praise.

I joined my @FinancialCmte colleagues on letters led by Chair @PatrickMcHenry to FINRA President & CEO Robert Cook & SEC Chair Gensler on the approval of Prometheum Ember Capital LLC as the first and only special purpose broker-dealer for digital assets.

Yesterday the @FinancialCmte marked up H.R. 4763 to provide for a system of regulation of digital assets. The collapse of FTX warrants a framework that would address many of these challenges. Doing nothing would be illogical and dangerous, creating the potential for another FTX. pic.x.com/E0svc068eY
