Joseph Morelle, U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 25th district since 2018 and a former member of the New York State Assembly, used his social media platform on November 17, 2025, to address topics ranging from education to community service and national politics.
In recognition of American Education Week, Morelle expressed appreciation for educators and emphasized the importance of supporting them. On November 17, he posted: “During #AmericanEducationWeek, I’m especially grateful for our educators. As the husband of a retired teacher, I’ve seen firsthand the impact teachers have on our children. We must invest in our students and educators—not abandon them. Our future depends on it.”
Later that day, Morelle highlighted his participation in a local event celebrating Omega Psi Phi’s longstanding role in the community. In his post at 19:43 UTC, he wrote: “Omega Psi Phi has been uplifting young men in our community for 70 years. It was an honor to join them for their 70th annual clambake this weekend and present a certificate of congressional recognition to celebrate this impressive milestone.”
On the same evening, Morelle shared his views regarding former President Donald Trump’s priorities as a public figure. At 21:52 UTC he stated: “Donald Trump thinks first and foremost about his own wealth and well-being. He has no understanding of being a public servant; it doesn’t occur to him.”
Joseph Morelle has served in Congress since replacing Louise Slaughter in 2018 after a long tenure in the New York State Assembly that began in 1991. Born in Utica, New York in 1957 and currently residing in Irondequoit, Morelle is also an alumnus of the State University of New York at Geneseo.
