Rep. Claudia Tenney, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 24th district, has shared a series of updates on her official social media account regarding economic and infrastructure issues affecting her constituency. The posts reflect her ongoing legislative efforts and political stance.
On May 8, 2025, Rep. Tenney emphasized the importance of small businesses to the economy. She expressed concern over potential tax increases if the Trump Tax Cuts are not extended, stating that “Main Street businesses are the backbone of our economy.” She warned that without an extension, “40,720 small businesses in NY-24 could face a crushing 43.4% tax rate if the 199A Small Business Deduction expires.” As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, she assured constituents of her commitment to working towards an extension.
The following day, May 9, Rep. Tenney announced selected community projects for fiscal year 2026 under the CPF program aimed at improving infrastructure and public safety across NY-24. She stated “Our office is eager to announce the 15 community projects we have selected for the FY26 CPF program to improve essential infrastructure & enhance public safety initiatives across NY-24.” Further details about these submissions were made available through a provided link.
Later on May 9, Rep. Tenney addressed energy policy concerns by criticizing New York Attorney General Letitia James’s actions against former President Trump’s energy agenda. She commented “NY AG Letitia James is attempting to stall President Trump’s America First Energy Agenda.” According to Tenney, while Democrats support costly green policies like the Green New Deal, Republicans aim to boost American energy dominance to reduce costs and safeguard national interests.
Claudia Tenney has served in Congress since replacing Anthony Brindisi in 2021 and previously served in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2016. Born in New Hartford in 1961 and residing in Canandaigua, she holds degrees from Colgate University and the University of Cincinnati.
