NY-21 RESULT: I delivered $400,000 in COVID-19 recovery funding for our Lake George community. This funding will help strengthen our local economy and revitalize this important North Country community. I’m proud to have secured this critical funding to help Lake George.
I supported the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act, bipartisan legislation to support our small businesses during the pandemic.
