Rep. George Latimer

This video was filmed prior to House Republicans sneaking through a vote of the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, the largest VA Cut in history. Watch this video to see my take on it.

Today, on Veterans Day, we commend the brave men and women who answered the call to protect our Country. We can best honor our veterans by ensuring they and their families receive the recognition, care and benefits they earned long after they return home.

The Trump Administration is moving to eliminate SNAP benefits for six million people - after five million people lost these important benefits due to Trump’s Big Ugly Law. This will make matters worse for those already struggling to put food on the table.

Ahead of Veteran’s Day, I joined elected officials and neighbors in Port Chester to honor our local service men and women. To all service members - the sacrifices you’ve made for our country deserve a lifetime of gratitude. Thank you.

Happy Diwali to all celebrating in Westchester and the Bronx! May this festival of lights bring new beginnings and joy to you and your loved ones.

This Administration was scheduled to deport dozens of Afghan immigrants back to their Taliban-controlled country, including those who risked their livelihoods to aid the United States during the conflict in Afghanistan. That’s why I joined 66 of my colleagues to send a clear message to the Administration: deporting these allies will subject them to cruelty, persecution, and even death. While a federal judge has halted these deportations for now, we must ensure that our commitments to those who sacrificed for our country are honored.

From Chappaqua to Mamaroneck, the names of our towns carry the deep history and legacy of the Indigenous peoples who first lived on these lands. Today and every month, we honor their rich culture and enduring memory.

Inspiring the next generation of leaders means ensuring they have a seat at the table today. I sat down with Mamaroneck High School students to discuss all things public service and how their voices can be heard right now. I look forward to seeing the amazing things these changemakers will do for their community!

It was a pleasure spending time with the Business Council of Westchester (BCW) and the African American Men of Westchester (AAMW) at their 33rd Annual Brotherhood Breakfast. These organizations continue to drive the community forward through leadership, advocacy, and a commitment to building a stronger Westchester!

Good luck to all competing in the New York City Marathon today, and thank you to all the city workers, first responders, race organizers, and spectators who make this day unforgettable every year!

Happy Halloween! Whether you are handing out candy, trick-or-treating, or spending time with loved ones, I hope everyone has a safe, fun day! 🎃

As temperatures drop, your heating bills are going up. That’s why I am a proud co-sponsor of the Energy Bills Relief Act, so you don't have to choose between keeping your home warm and maintaining a manageable budget.

Dolores Huerta was a fierce civil rights advocate, a feminist icon, and a powerful voice for labor workers across the country. We mourn her alongside her family, friends, and the many she inspired.

Eight years ago today, 11 lives were taken in the horrific antisemitic attack at the Tree of Life synagogue. This tragic day serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against hatred towards the Jewish community and the vital work required to protect religious freedom and provide safety in houses of worship. May the memories of Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger be a blessing.

Yesterday, I attended the unveiling of the new sign at the Westchester County Archives and Records Center honoring former County Executive Andy Spano. I joined Andy, Brenda and County Executive Ken Jenkins to celebrate Andy’s lifelong dedication to public service - a fitting tribute to his lasting legacy.

Congratulations to New York Medical College on its 50th anniversary! I had the opportunity to speak at their celebration and honor Al DelBello, former Westchester County Executive and champion of bringing the Medical College to Westchester to serve our community. To many more great years, New York Medical College!

According to the Ukrainian government, Russia abducted at least 20,000 Ukrainian children since the start of the full-scale invasion. That’s why I am proud to co-sponsor the bipartisan Justice for Ukrainian Children Act, which provides essential funds to aid in the return of abducted children, hold the perpetrators accountable, and requires regular reporting from the State Department on their efforts to return children to their homes.
