Guns

Tom does not support the New York SAFE Act, and was the first elected official to sign the SCOPE pledge calling for its repeal, because he believes it is an example of an over-reach at the state-level. He also co-sponsored the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act which would make concealed-carry permits valid across state lines. He will continue to stand firmly in protecting our Second Amendment rights and fight the many one-size-fits-all proposals from Washington. Learn more

Healthcare

Tom voted in favor of repealing and replacing Obamacare and, as co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus, put forward a bipartisan set of solutions to stabilize our health insurance markets and provide relief to individuals, families and small businesses. Tom also as co-chair of the Diabetes Caucus, the largest disease-specific caucus in Congress, and is passionate about supporting legislation that would improve diabetes research, education and treatment.

Obamacare is more than a broken website; it’s a failed solution to spiraling healthcare costs that has led to canceled insurance policies, job losses and reduced hours for workers. Tom believes in a more patient-centered solution to our health care challenges that will empower patients and doctors, not insurance companies and government bureaucrats.  He believes in reforms that ensure all Americans, regardless of pre-existing conditions and past illnesses, get coverage at affordable prices. He has worked to highlight the over 700 billion dollars that was robbed from Medicare to pay for Obamacare, and believes very strongly in protecting the promise made to senior citizens. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Tom has been fighting to enact real tax reform that will allow working families in the Southern Tier, Finger Lakes and Western New York to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks. Tom believes that hardworking families deserve tax relief. He proudly supported the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which was signed into law by President Trump and will allow our neighbors to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks. A fairer, simpler tax code will lead to a stronger economy and more jobs for upstate New York. Learn more

Tom has sponsored legislation like the Buy Smarter and Save Act of 2017 that would reduce costs for federal agencies, and continues to work to hold government bureaucrats accountable and reduce wasteful spending.
