Representative George Latimer (NY-16) has delivered more than 55 speeches on the House floor since taking office in January. The speeches have been on a variety of topics including recognizing prominent people from the district who have passed away, detrimental actions by the Trump Administration, bringing attention to local issues and organizations, and even a nod to Stephen Colbert’s “Meanwhile…”.

Specific topics included: tariffs; FEMA; cuts to Medicaid, food programs and the Department of Education; Ukraine policy; environmental policies and numerous other key issues.

“Members of the House have a unique opportunity to give a speech every day on a topic that is important to them. I have decided to use this opportunity to bring attention to a number of issues facing our district and country,” said Rep. Latimer. “This is another way I am communicating directly to our district and constituents.”
