The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as a running count by Bloomberg News, show the Empire State ahead of other large states like Florida when it comes to the number of vaccinated people per 100,000 residents. Yet, there nonetheless appears to be a significant backlog in distributing hundreds of thousands of doses in the Empire State despite the growing list of eligible people.

Since our 12/31 update, 232 additional lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive cases have been reported.
With the significant uptick in cases we are seeing, we ask that residents limit their time in the community as much as possible. Stick to essential trips or visits like going to work or school, medical appointments, or shopping for necessities. Shopping trips should be limited to single-person trips to avoid unnecessary crowding in stores. Continue to practice prevention methods such as wearing a mask that goes over your nose AND mouth; keeping at least 6ft between yourself and others; avoiding crowds and gatherings; washing your hands often or using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol; staying home when you are sick and; reducing contact with those who do not live in your household.

I am honored every day to represent New York’s 21st Congressional District, and I believe it is my solemn and sacred duty to serve as your voice and your vote in Washington. I swore an oath to protect and defend our Constitution – the utmost duty I perform as a Member of the United States Congress.
As the Representative for New York’s 21st Congressional District, I plan to object to certain contested electors on January 6th. I do not take this action lightly. I am acting to protect our democratic process. Article II and the Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution make clear that I have an obligation to act on this matter if I believe there are serious questions with respect to the Presidential election.
I believe those questions exist. Tens of millions of Americans are rightly concerned that the 2020 election featured unprecedented voting irregularities, unconstitutional overreach by unelected state officials and judges ignoring state election laws, and a fundamental lack of ballot integrity and security.
To the tens of thousands of constituents and patriots across the country who have reached out to me in the past few weeks – please know that I hear you. The most precious foundation and covenant of our Republic is the right to vote, and consequently, the faith in the sanctity of our nation’s free and fair elections.
As a Member of Congress, I am committed to restoring the faith of the American people in our elections – that they are free, fair, secure, and according to the United States Constitution.
