Welcome...

Dear Friends, 

Welcome to the web site for New York’s 18th Congressional District.

I am working hard in Congress to help meet the many challenges Americans and New Yorkers are facing.  Congress can take our nation in a New Direction that unites – rather than divides – our country.

I hope you will use this web page as a source of information about my legislative efforts and the services my office provides as well as a way to stay in touch.

Thank you for visiting this site, and I hope you will check it often.

Sincerely,

Nita in Action
