Congresswoman Laura Gillen
@RepLauraGillen
Congresswoman for New York's Fourth District, proudly representing Nassau County on @TransportDems and @ScienceDems.
After listening to the #JointAddress, I’m laser-focused on the priorities that matter to Long Islanders: tackling our cost-of-living crisis, fixing our broken immigration system, and keeping our communities and law enforcement safe. These are bipartisan priorities for…
I’m proud to support the bipartisan Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025, which includes provisions I led to make the East Rockaway Inlet safer for boaters and stop illicit drug trackers in our waters. This new law will strengthen those efforts, support our brave Coastguardsmen…
We commend Congresswoman @RepLauraGillen for co-sponsoring H.R.2510. We are happy to see more #NewYork representation on this bill! Thank you for making the American Hellenic Israeli Security Act a policy priority for promoting security in the #EastMed.

Houses of worship in Nassau County and across the country rely on critical Nonprofit Security Grant Program funding to keep Americans safe. Today, I urged @FEMA Acting Administrator to make these funds available and work with me to help improve the program.
Medicaid is a lifeline for 4.5 million Americans with disabilities who rely on its home and community‑based care services. But the GOP’s so‑called “big, beautiful” bill puts those services and the families who depend on them at serious risk. nytimes.com/2025/07/21/wel…
I recently spoke with Dan Krauth from @abc7 about the urgent need to crack down on postal crime and strengthen the U.S. Postal Police to better protect our mail carriers and communities. Watch here:
Congratulations to my Long Island colleague @RepGarbarino.
Union workers make America stronger every single day, including 300,000 union households across Long Island. That’s why I joined 168 of lawmakers in demanding a vote on the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act.
Instead of working for the American people Congress will be held up while the GOP struggles with the Epstein files. There should be no struggle here: Release them.
NEWS — RALPH NORMAN, hardline conservative on the House Rules Committee, says the panel will not report a rule this week for bills, effectively shutting down the house floor. Why? He doesn’t want to vote on Democrats’ Epstein amendments. He says it’s grandstanding.
There is absolutely no place in our communities for violent criminals with no legal right to be here. This was a tragic and senseless act of violence that should never have happened. Praying for a speedy recovery for the CBP officer injured in this senseless attack.…
Congratulations to @CULionsWBB and NY-04’s very own Riley Weiss from Hewlett for partnering with @FCASorg to raise awareness and help counter antisemitism. newsday.com/sports/college…
Hard-working families are facing rising food prices and the Administration’s misguided tariffs policy could mean even more pain for people’s wallets. We should be focused on delivering lowering costs, not fueling a reckless trade war that drives prices even higher.…
It was a joy to attend @SolagesNY’ annual Elmont Family Day. Elmont has always held a special place in my heart and it was great to see so many friends and community members there!

Once again, House Republicans have passed yet another bill that does nothing to lower costs for hardworking families. Read my full statement on the passage of the GOP rescissions package:
I’m proud to have co‑sponsored the HALT Fentanyl Act, which was signed into law this week. Fentanyl has taken far too many lives on Long Island and this new law ensures law enforcement has the tools and resources needed to crack down on this deadly drug.
Since taking office I’ve been fighting for clean water for Long Islanders. The shocking report of toxins in Seaford’s water is yet another reminder of the continued work that must happen at the federal, state, and local level.
WHAT'S IN THE WATER? A Nassau father says he has twice the legal limit of a potential carcinogen in his water, and he only found out after participating in a study. bit.ly/46LtPxe
John Lewis' legacy reminds us that the right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy. I’m proud to cosponsor the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and strengthen protection for every voter. Every voice deserves to be heard.
Right now, the House Majority is debating a reckless bill that will slash $9 billion in funding under the cover of night. This cruel package will: - Threaten our national security - Withdraw critical aid to our allies in Ukraine - Make drastic cuts to public news outlets and…
