Foreign Affairs Committee

Brian was also appointed to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a timely appointment given the existing conflicts in the Middle East and ongoing relations with China whose currency policies deeply affect the American economy.  Recently, Brian sent a letter to President Obama with 80 of his colleagues about the need for drastic changes to the economic policies of the Chinese government. 

With a deep interest in U.S. foreign policy, Brian has traveled extensively through some of the most volatile regions in the world and has met with world leaders to promote peace in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Northern Ireland, Lebanon, Pakistan, and Africa, including Darfur. 

Locally, Brian advocated for the new passport office in Buffalo to make travel abroad easier for residents in Western New York.
