Today, Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) announced the creation of the Congressional Uyghur Caucus. The Caucus will raise awareness of the Chinese Community Party’s (CCP) systemic human rights violations against the Uyghur people in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China and support legislation aimed at addressing the largest coordinated human rights abuse campaign of the 21st century.

“People are saying I want to ‘live free or die.’ Well, they are living free, and other people are dying,” said Suozzi. “We need everyone to get vaccinated in our country.”

“Do it for yourself and your family Do it for other families,” Suozzi continued. “Do it for the country, so that we can stay strong. Please, get vaccinated!”

Today, Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-Long Island, Queens) welcomed Charles Cassara, the owner of SC Fitness in Farmingdale and Hicksville, and Joseph Cannizzo, the owner of Judo Jujitsu dojo on Staten Island, to his Washington, DC office to discuss the urgent need for Congress to provide targeted relief for New York’s gyms and fitness facilities. A photo from the meeting can be found here.

“If you are vaccinated already, that's great news. If you are not vaccinated, wake up! For your own sake, for the sake of your family, for the sake of your fellow human beings, for the sake of the economy, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the world...get vaccinated!

Congressman Tom Suozzi’s statement regarding Eric Adams’, Democratic nominee for Mayor of NYC, meeting with President Joe Biden:

“Eric Adams is spot on when he says ‘we don’t have to surrender the justice we deserve for the safety we need.’ His meeting with President Biden shows he is set on delivering on the promise of both justice and safety for New Yorkers. Eric has made public safety an essential part of his plan as mayor. This meeting is a positive step for New York City and I commit to working with him and President Biden to deliver the necessary federal resources.”

Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-Long Island, Queens) announced that the advanced monthly payments for the expanded Child Tax Credit will begin to hit the bank accounts of New York families on July 15th. This expanded tax credit will be life-changing for millions and will help families with children struggling to meet their monthly expenses.

Today, Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-Long Island, Queens) introduced the Well-Being Insurance for Seniors to be at Home (WISH) Act, legislation that would address one of our nation’s most pressing challenges: financing long-term care for elderly Americans.

Every day, roughly 10 thousand Americans turn 65. By 2050, the population over 65 will almost double and the population over 85 will triple. At the same time, the number of family members available to care for these aging Americans is decreasing because families are smaller and more spread out than they used to be.
