Our veterans deserve more pathways to homeownership—including right here in Queens.
My bipartisan Fair Access to Co-ops for Veterans Act would allow veterans to use VA-backed home loans to purchase co-ops, expanding their housing options in our community and across the country.
Honoring our veterans means more than saying thank you. It means working to ensure they can access the benefits they’ve earned and find a place to call home.
Happy Veterans Day, Queens!
Before heading back to DC this week, I spent the weekend honoring veterans in Corona and Middle Village. Thank you to Flanders Field VFW Post 150, Haspel-Staab VFW Post 551, and everyone who made these celebrations possible.
To our veterans: Our nation and our community are grateful for your service, sacrifice, and dedication—today and every day.
Deporting our Afghan allies who risked their lives to support America won’t make us safer.
It will further erode US credibility on the world stage and would likely be a death sentence for those affected.
I’m joining my colleagues @RepJasonCrow and @RepLiccardo to force a vote to protect our Afghan allies from this Administration’s cruelty.

We 🫶 our interns!
Thank you to our incredible congressional interns for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving our Queens community. From helping constituents to supporting our team’s daily work, you all bring energy and a passion for public service to Team Meng.
Kicking 5.5 million Americans off food assistance apparently wasn’t enough.
The Trump Administration is now targeting another 6.3 million Americans on food assistance while it continues letting billionaires off the hook.
Democrats will fight to restore SNAP benefits. Families struggling to afford groceries need help putting food on the table—not more barriers to getting it.

Sae Joon Park called America home for nearly 50 years and bravely served our nation. After working to turn his life around following mistakes after his military service, he deserved compassion—not separation from his loved ones.
I recently gathered local leaders, organizations, and members of the Korean American community to commemorate Governor Hochul’s decision to grant him a pardon, which I supported. I’m grateful to everyone who has advocated for him and continues to fight for his return.
I spoke to Sae Joon recently and I told him how deeply our community is rooting for him. A former Bayside resident, he has an invitation to join me for Korean food in Queens when he returns.
This pardon is worth celebrating, but our work is not finished. I will keep fighting until he is reunited with his loved ones here at home.
Let’s bring him home!
FYI, New Yorkers: The state’s unemployment insurance system is offline for a major upgrade expected to last 9–12 days, beginning Nov. 2.
During this period, online and phone services are unavailable, including filing claims and certifying weekly benefits. Payment delays are expected, but NYSDOL says all benefits due will be paid once the upgrade is complete.

Veterans Day is almost here. Honoring those who served means taking action.
It’s time for Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act so combat-injured veterans don’t have to forfeit retirement pay to receive VA disability benefits. They’ve earned both.
@SpeakerJohnson, bring this bill to the House Floor ASAP.

This Diwali, I’m wishing everyone celebrating in Queens and beyond joy, prosperity, and light.
My Diwali Day Act would make this joyous holiday a federal holiday—recognition that is long overdue.
The racist, anti-Hindu disruption in Seattle stands against the spirit of Diwali. Everyone deserves to celebrate safely and freely. We must stand together against this bigotry and hate in all its forms.
May light triumph over darkness, and hope over hate.
The 120th Congress will have the largest delegation of women in our nation’s history—and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of it.
Together, we’ll fight for affordable healthcare and childcare, paid leave, and the support women need to thrive at work, at home, and in their communities.
We carry the torch for the women who paved the way and the generations still to come. Let’s get to work.
Ahead of Veterans Day, I was proud to join local leaders, veterans, and families at Elmhurst Park to honor those who have served our nation with courage and selflessness. Your service deserves gratitude and action.
In Congress, I’m fighting to strengthen the VA, protect PACT Act benefits, expand VA-backed loans to co-ops, secure back pay for unjustly fired VA workers, and pass the Major Richard Star Act.
To our veterans and military families: thank you. My office is here year-round to help you access the benefits you’ve earned.

More than 5 million Americans have lost SNAP benefits since Trump’s cuts. Our Democratic majority will fight to restore and expand them.
I have legislation to let families use SNAP for hot meals and stop SNAP benefit theft—and I’m making both bills top priorities.
It’s time to end this hunger crisis.

We made HISTORY this week! With at least 22 AAPI members poised to join @CAPAC next year, our communities will have their strongest representation yet. I couldn’t be prouder to lead this caucus into its next chapter.

It was great joining @NAPCA_aging and @kcsnewyork for their Medicare open enrollment event! Thank you for helping our seniors understand their coverage options.
I’ll keep fighting to protect Medicare and ensure language is never a barrier to getting the care they need.
