No one should have to choose between staying warm or buying groceries. I’m fighting back against the Washington bureaucracy to bring home much needed relief and make sure that no Upstate New Yorker gets left out in the cold.

WASHINGTON, DC — Representative Josh Riley (NY-19) is demanding the federal government get heating assistance to upstate families on time as energy costs rise and colder weather approaches. Riley …

Upstate parents know how hard it is to find local, affordable childcare. That’s why it was great to stop by Hudson Promise, and meet with local childcare professionals training to open their own centers. They’re taking on this challenge head-on for our kids and working families.

From 42 acres in the 1950s to over 45,000 apple trees today, three generations of the Grout family have built an incredible operation at Golden Harvest Farms in Valatie. Great to tour the farm with Doug and Derek and talk about what we need to do in Washington to secure our agricultural workforce and support local growers.

Elected officials should be focused on serving their communities, not lining their own pockets. That’s why I introduced the Drain the Swamp Act to BAN members of Congress from trading stocks and betting on prediction markets.

If we want a stronger economy, we need to make things in America again — and that starts right here in Upstate New York. Loved visiting Hudson Clothier on Warren Street to talk with Mary Vaughn about the power of selling 100% U.S.-made goods. Small business owners like her are leading the way, and we need to have their backs.

Foreign-owned utility companies like NYSEG & Central Hudson want us to pay more while they rake in record profits and send millions overseas. It's robbery.

I introduced a bill to BAN foreign ownership of utilities, because that money should stay in your pocket and our community, not line the pockets of foreign executives.

Nobody should have to worry about getting lifesaving care simply because they live in a rural community.

It was an honor to help cut the ribbon at Margaretville Hospital’s brand-new heliport! This vital investment will speed up access to care during the moments when every second counts.

The new facility replaces a landing area a half-mile away, helping connect rural patients in Delaware and Sullivan counties with specialized care

Upstate New Yorkers shouldn’t have to choose between staying warm or buying groceries. But as oil prices rise and the utility monopolies continue to jack up their rates, working families just can’t keep up.

I’m calling on the federal government to deliver critical assistance to help folks afford their heating bills, so that no Upstate family has to make these impossible decisions.

If you pay for an ad-free subscription, you should get an ad-free experience. It’s that simple.

My new bill makes streaming platforms like RedZone honor their promises and give fans what they paid for.

Rep. Josh Riley is promoting a bill that would prevent paid video-streaming services from adding advertisements to a plan sold as ad-free during a subscriber's first year or the full original contract term, whichever is longer. The New York Democrat's office announced the proposal Wednesday, though....
