Niagara Leader

Claudia Tenney, a U.S. Congress representative for New York's 24th district, has recently shared her views on social media regarding the governance and policies affecting New Yorkers. Tenney, who succeeded Anthony Brindisi in 2021, has a background in law and politics, having served in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2016.

On March 24, 2025, Tenney expressed criticism towards Governor Kathy Hochul of New York. She stated that "The only renegade in New York is Governor Hochul. Her failure to keep New Yorkers safe is a complete dereliction of duty."

Later that day, she commented on federal government operations by emphasizing efficiency over size. She noted that "Bigger does not mean better. By cutting down the scope & size of the federal government, including consolidating HR systems, @DOGE is working to save taxpayers money."

On March 25, 2025, Tenney addressed rising electricity costs under Governor Hochul's leadership. She highlighted that "Under the failed leadership of NY Governor Hochul, electricity costs have surged, forcing New Yorkers to pay 50% more than the national average for power." She advocated for policy changes such as allowing natural gas extraction and reviving infrastructure projects like the Constitution Pipeline.
