Williams Weekly Wrap-Up
Hi Folks! This past week I was back to work voting in DC. As I continue to recover after having a minimally invasive heart bypass surgery, I remain committed to loving and serving NY-22 and wanted to share what I have been up to:
Back to Work for NY-22
Passage of the FAA Reauthorization
My FAA Amendment Passed
Stop Funding Research in China
Service Nomination Applications Now Available
Celebrating National Moon Day
A Message from Rep. Brandon Williams:
Our 22nd Congressional District encompasses all of Oneida, Madison, and Onondaga counties, and a sliver of Oswego County. As always, I am working to support families in CNY and the Mohawk Valley, improve our local infrastructure, grow manufacturing, and rein-in energy costs through common sense engineering and business practices. As a Navy Veteran, I stand with and for our veterans. I am protecting Social Security and Medicare for our elderly, and I always speak up for our law enforcement, firefighters, and first responders.
Back To Work
It’s great to be back to work on behalf of NY-22. Just over a week ago, a highly skilled group of surgeons, nurses, and other support personnel successfully carried out a robotic cardiac artery bypass grafting procedure. The minimally invasive techniques employed by the cardiac specialists at St. Joseph’s will allow quicker healing, reduced discomfort, and minimal scarring. This remarkable team performs this procedure 150 times per year.
I’ve got some time before I’m at full strength, but I’m truly blessed and happy to be on a great path of recovery.

Passage of FAA Reauthorization and My Amendment
To protect your family and vacation plans, I put forward an amendment to ensure that safety comes first—it’s passage makes that mission possible. As post-COVID travel rises, our ground safety systems must be fully operational—avoiding collisions at our busy airports and avoiding accidents and delays.
Air safety goes beyond political partisanship and is the core of the FAA’s mission: to provide the safest and most efficient civilian air transportation system in the world. Proud to have voted for the FAA Reauthorization which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

Passage of Stop Funding Our Adversaries
The Citizen writes
Why would we fund research projects with American taxpayer dollars in a country that wants us to fail?
China is our primary adversary, and we must stop funding their research activities. With growing tension between our country and the Communist Chinese regime, there are no good reasons to support funding these research initiatives or cooperative agreements. This is a huge win for American taxpayers—my amendment ends funding of research by the Chinese government or any Chinese Communist Party agencies.
The stakes on the global stage have never been higher, therefore we should focus our resources at home. Energy prices are at record highs, inflation continues to steal from our quality of life, our Southern border is in crisis, violent criminals are being released onto our streets, and opioids from China are killing our youth at historic rates, stealing our children’s future. Funding our adversaries must stop, now!

54 years ago we landed on the Moon. I had the privilege to meet the NASA Artemis II crew who will bring us back to the Moon by completing a lunar flyby next year.
