I'm so old... when I was a kid, in order for someone to bully, they had to be bigger and stronger and more intimidating than the people they were bullying. Now with social media and Facebook and Twitter and all those other things, anyone can bully somebody.

I happen to be unique. I'm a Republican that represents an urban area.

Through the Internet, ISIS and other terrorist groups reach people they wouldn't ordinarily be able to reach.

We need health care reform - including promised Medicaid reform in New York... but it shouldn't be done on the backs of already overburdened City residents who will undoubtedly have a tax increase forced on them to fill in the hole.

If we start exposing what gets said in a grand jury, you won't get anybody to testify.

The rest of the world sees America as weak.

When people go to the post office or any federal building, they expect to see pictures of their government leaders displayed.

A 75-year-old man doesn't need maternity leave or maternity care. A young person doesn't need geriatric care.

I am in favor of reforming our tax code. It's over-burdensome. It's complex. It's unfair. But the one thing that we have to do is make sure that all Americans receive a tax cut.

Our families are overburdened with taxes.

Anyone can run against me. I don't care.

I was Guy Molinari's chief of staff.

I grew up in the neighborhood where Eric Garner died. No one knows that about me.

My mother's Polish; my dad was Irish.

Washington is too expensive.

I have never used my office for anything other than the purpose in which I hold it - to represent the people who sent me to Washington.

I never conducted business as a Republican D.A.

People get Washington-ized a lot of times, being down there for awhile, and forget that we're called members of the House of Representatives because we're meant to represent people.

It's unacceptable for any past or present service member to lose access or go through increased hurdles to get the medical services they rely on.
