WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Anthony Brindisi (NY-22) delivered his first speech on the House of Representatives floor on Wednesday morning, outlining his priorities in Congress.
Brindisi said he was honored to stand on the house floor as a representative of New York's 22nd Congressional District.
"When I talk to Upstate New Yorkers, there is one thing I hear time and time again: Washington is broken," said Brindisi. "We are all tired of Washington's partisanship, and I am here tonight to reiterate my promise to work with anyone who is willing to solve problems."
He named his priorities, including working with members of both parties to address rising health care costs to ensure "...everyone has access to high-quality, affordable health care."
