"Americans should not be forced to breathe hazardous air year after year," he said in July. He has a 0% League of Conservation Voters score, voted to let federal regulators stall EPA clean-air rules, and is pushing to fire up a gas plant in Dunkirk.
Constituents left him an empty chair in Corning in 2025. In February 2026 the community station in Jamestown published a piece saying his office repeatedly failed to notify them of press events in their own county. The man who stood up at that empty-seat town hall is now his opponent.

Upstate New York's Claudia Tenney used her power as a member of Congress to propose a national day off honoring a living president's birthday. The bill has zero cosponsors, zero hearings, and would cost taxpayers close to a billion dollars a year.
