| FROM REP. NICK LANGWORTHY: Serving you in Congress is one of my life’s greatest honors, and I’m deeply grateful and humbled by the trust you have placed in me to represent you. This is where I was born and raised, and where Erin and I are raising our kids. We love this community, its people, and our way of life. Throughout my lifetime, we have witnessed the country, our state, and our region go through many ups and downs. We saw firsthand the impact of jobs moving overseas, we saw the impact of 9/11 on our national security, and of New York’s decline and misguided priorities that have made us less prosperous, less free, and less safe. We have watched too many of our friends and neighbors pack up and start their lives over in other states. For me, there was never a choice to leave—it was always to stay and fight. To fight for the people who wake up every day and go to work and just want a government that is responsible, effective, and efficient. A government that keeps them safe and protects our freedoms and values. And oftentimes, that means trying to find ways to mitigate the harmful impacts of Albany’s crazy policies. Whether it’s making sure that federal healthcare dollars get to our rural communities instead of just NYC or working to protect your right to affordable, reliable energy sources, fighting for the needs of Western New York and the Southern Tier are at the forefront of everything I do.
While January will bring changes to Congress, my commitment to these principles will never waver. Just as I have done over my last four years in office, I will continue to work with anyone whose priorities align with the values of our district and who will help me deliver smart, common-sense solutions to the challenges we face. But make no mistake—I will fight to block extreme dangerous policies with the same vigor. This week, we return to Washington to finish the remainder of the 119th Congress and there is work that needs to be done. Our December 11th federal funding deadline is just around the corner and there are pressing issues that demand Congress’ attention. It is my hope that as a nation we can find ways to come together to tackle these challenges—the American people deserve that. Once again, thank you for the honor of fighting for you and your families in Washington. Our work to protect and strengthen America continues. |
