Congresswoman Claudia Tenney Reflects on Successes of First 60 Days in Office

Washington, DC -- Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) today has been serving the people of New York's 22nd Congressional District in the 117th Congress for a little more than 60 days after being sworn in on February 11, 2021. Tenney, a compassionate advocate for the communities she serves, reflected on her first 60 days in office and the work she has accomplished.

"It is an honor to serve the people of New York's 22nd District in Congress. Since taking my oath earlier this year, my team and I have hit the ground running to deliver real results. In my first 60 days, I've introduced five bills and cosponsored more than 60 pieces of legislation focused on improving the lives of Americans and addressing the most pressing issues facing our nation. 

"As a member of the House Small Business Committee, I’ve interacted with nearly 100 small businesses across the district through my Small Business Outreach Tour. In my first 60 days, I was pleased to see the bipartisan PPP Extension Act I supported get signed into law by the President. This bill extends valuable resources for our small businesses as they recover from this pandemic. I also held 12 productive roundtable discussions with leaders across the district that will help me improve policies coming from Washington.

"I’m also deeply honored that my office has provided assistance to nearly 300 constituents who needed help with a federal agency. My office has also fielded more than 3,000 calls from constituents and responded to more than 5,400 emails and letters. The feedback I’ve received from constituents across the district has been so vitally important to me. I’m going to continue prioritizing transparency and outreach as I work to restore opportunity to Upstate New York. I will always represent my community with compassion, tenacity, courage, and integrity.”
