Joe Morelle, a representative in the U.S. Congress serving New York’s 25th district since 2018, recently shared several updates and remarks via social media. Morelle, who replaced Congress member Louise Slaughter and previously served in the New York State Assembly from 1991 to 2018, shared his thoughts on legislative proposals, season’s greetings, and a call to young artists.
On April 12, 2025, Joe Morelle commented on the impact of the SAVE Act, stating “The SAVE Act doesn’t just call for simple voter ID requirements, in many states your REAL ID wouldn’t even be compliant.” This highlights a potential challenge for citizens concerning voter ID compliance with proposed legislation.
Later the same day, Morelle extended holiday wishes with a tweet directed to his constituents observing Passover, wishing them “peace, prosperity, and happiness” and offering the traditional greeting “Chag Sameach.”
On April 13, 2025, Morelle encouraged participation in a cultural initiative by highlighting a past success story. He invited young artists to enter the Congressional Art Competition, referencing the previous year’s winner, Talia Favitta, urging, “Apply now for the chance to have your artwork hung in the Capitol for the next year.”
Joseph Morelle, born in Utica, New York, in 1957, completed his studies with a BA from the State University of New York at Geneseo in 1986. He currently resides in Irondequoit. His career reflects a long-standing commitment to serving his district both nationally and at the state level.
