Niagara Leader

Claudia Tenney, currently serving as a U.S. Congress representative for New York's 24th district, has taken to social media to express her concerns over various issues affecting her constituents and beyond. Through a series of tweets on March 6, 2025, she addressed topics ranging from corrections officers' working conditions to anti-Semitic behavior at an educational institution.

In one tweet posted on March 6, 2025, Tenney criticized Governor Kathy Hochul for allegedly stripping nearly 13,000 corrections officers and their families of healthcare benefits due to their strike against "unsafe working conditions." She attributed these conditions to what she describes as "Albany Democrats' pro-criminal legislation" and staffing shortages. The tweet includes a video link that purportedly illustrates the situation. "Kathy Hochul has stripped nearly 13,000 Corrections Officers & their families' of health care for striking against the unsafe working conditions being forced on them by Albany Democrats' pro-criminal legislation & staffing shortages."

Later that day, Tenney announced her leadership in introducing a resolution with the entire New York Republican Delegation in support of the striking corrections officers. In this post, she called upon Governor Hochul to repeal the HALT Act and address what she termed as "dangerous staffing shortages." "Today, I led the entire New York Republican Delegation in introducing a resolution in support of the Corrections Officers striking for safer working conditions across New York."

Additionally, Tenney commented on an issue concerning Columbia University. She advocated for the immediate withdrawal of federal funding from Columbia due to what she described as "blatant anti-Semitic behavior." "Columbia should immediately lose its federal funding for allowing this blatant anti-Semitic behavior to continue."
