119th Congress
WASHINGTON, DC – Tonight Congressman George Latimer (NY-16) voted against the House Republican’s budget plan that would hand more than $4.5 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires while cutting Medicare and SNAP benefits for working-and-middle class families:
“Like many House Democrats, I am extremely concerned about the House Republican budget plan that just passed the House, and how it would affect families in my district.
“‘This bill would be better named the Stop All Voter Engagement Act because that is what it will do. U.S. citizens have the right to vote in national elections, period. We should be making it easier for people to vote, not harder,’ said Rep. Latimer. ‘It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote, it happens incredibly rarely, and if it does, there is a legal penalty. Instead, this disastrous bill will make it harder for women and college students to vote.’”
WHITE PLAINS, NY – Today U.S. Representative George Latimer (NY-16) released the following statement after the Social Security Administration announced that it is closing the White Plains hearing office:
“‘This bill would be better named the Stop Voter Engagement Act because that is what it will do. U.S. citizens have the right to vote in national elections, period. We should be making it easier for people to vote, not harder,’ said Rep. Latimer. ‘It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote, it happens incredibly rarely, and if it does, there is a legal penalty. Instead, this disastrous bill will make it harder for women and college students to vote.’”
A message from Rep. Latimer:
“Thank you for visiting this page, which is dedicated to supporting my constituents in NY-16 during this time of profound uncertainty caused by multiple unprecedented and unconstitutional actions by the Trump Administration.
WASHINGTON, DC – Today U.S. Representative George Latimer (NY-16) announced that his office is now taking programmatic and language requests for the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process. Local municipalities and eligible non-profit organizations are encouraged to submit.
“Latimer said, where some 500 immigrants were relocated before last year’s election, ‘there was not one incident where any of them tried to vote.’”
“Latimer called for the GOP leadership to pull the bill back and consider Democrat demands that ‘voters whose citizenship is not in question be allowed to modify their status by mail.’’’
WHITE PLAINS, NY – Today U.S. Representative George Latimer (NY-16) was joined by local elected officials and voting rights advocates to denounce the Safeguard American Voting Eligibility (SAVE) Act. This legislation is expected to be brought up in the U.S. House of Representatives next week.
“‘At a time when the current administration is carelessly slashing government services, closing the Social Security hearing office in White Plains will force those seeking benefits to travel long distances — as far away as New Haven and Albany — to fight for their rights,’ said Latimer.”
