Suozzi Has Had a Productive First 100 Days!

Washington, DC - Today, June 7, 2024, officially marks 100 days since Congressman Tom Suozzi (D - Long Island, Queens) was sworn in as the U.S. Representative for the people of the Third Congressional district after winning the special election on February 13, 2024.

Since his February 28th swearing in, Congressman Suozzi has had a busy and productive first 100 days:

Suozzi urged President Biden to take strong action to bring "Order to the Border.” Suozzi stood  at the White House when he announced an executive order to fix the asylum system and speed up deportations, a major shift in how the United States has handled claims for protection. He was also appointed Co-Chair of the House Democrats for Border Security Task Force. 

 The Congressman helped negotiate support for the bipartisan foreign aid package providing $26 billion          for Israel defense,  $60 billion for Ukraine and more than $8 billion to support key      partners in the Indo-Pacific. He was the first Democrat to urge his caucus to support Speaker Johnson, a pivotal moment for getting the bill to the floor. He implored his colleagues in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal.  

Congressman Suozzi was invited to participate in a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to Ukraine where he met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In June, Suozzi joined another bipartisan Congressional Delegation to observe the 80th Anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France. 

Suozzi requested over $50 million in Congressional Project Funding for projects throughout the district, including projects to bring clean water across the 3rd Congressional District.  

Suozzi put SALT (State & Local Tax Deduction) back on the table. He was named co-chair of the SALT Caucus.  

The Congressman announced federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that will help install treatment systems at the Hicksville Water District to address concerns over PFAS and 1,4-dioxane contaminants.  

Continuing his fight to clean-up the Navy Grumman Plume, Suozzi chaired a roundtable meeting with federal, state and local officials to coordinate stronger efforts to get it done.  

The Congressman has fought for the release of all hostages held by Hamas. He hosted the Neutra family of Planview at the State of the

Union address. Their son, Omer, is still being held by Hamas. Suozzi has repeatedly voted to support Israel’s efforts to return Omer Neutra home.  

Suozzi fought for Long Island’s air traffic controllers to stop their transfer out of state. He joined Republican Congressman Anthony D’Esposito to call on the FAA to rescind their order.  

Congressman Suozzi renewed leadership on two-dozen House Caucuses including Long Island Sound, Labor, Quiet Skies, Conservation, India, and Pakistan.
