Current circumstances play into the hands of autocrats such as Putin or Xi; they would find immense satisfaction in witnessing any wavering of the United States in our commitment to the Ukrainian people and their military. 

I am proud that I fought side-by-side with the community for years to hold them accountable and prouder still to see this money going back to empower Tonawanda’s recovery and growth. These worthy projects to keep our environment clean and improve lives of Western New Yorkers will get the investment they deserve. 

Anyone who thinks that the money allocated is enough for the economy does not understand at all what is going on in the United States of America 

We’ve made very good progress, you have got a lot of details, a lot of dotted Is and crossed Ts ... I am very, very hopeful.
