As cancer rates among 9/11 first responders continue to rise, these brave men and women deserve to have the peace of mind of knowing that the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund will be there to help them and their families as long as they need it.

The Nonprofit Security Grant Program has also been critical to securing houses of worship in #NY04, many of which have long needed security upgrades. I'm incredibly pleased to see this bill pass with broad bipartisan support and urge the Senate to take it up quickly. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

In #NY04 we have a time-honored tradition of service in the FDNY and NYPD. These men and women were there for us on 9/11 and in the weeks after. Now we need to be there for them. It shouldn't take this long. We need to act now to get our first responders the care they deserve. https://t.co/7HO2P5J1r7 — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I joined @UFANYC and several of colleagues from the NY delegation at ground zero to call on Congress to fully fund the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund and make it permanent.
