Joseph Morelle, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 25th district, has recently shared his thoughts on various topics through social media posts. Morelle, who succeeded Louise Slaughter in 2018 and previously served in the New York State Assembly from 1991 to 2018, continues to engage with his constituents on issues ranging from veterans' benefits to community art exhibits and small business support.

On December 8, 2024, Morelle emphasized the importance of supporting veterans by ensuring they have access to all the benefits they have earned. He stated, "Veterans stood for us, serving with courage and sacrifice—now we must stand for them to ensure they have access to every benefit they've earned." He highlighted the PACT Act as a significant step towards expanding care but acknowledged that further efforts are necessary.

The following day, December 9, 2024, Morelle expressed enthusiasm about a new permanent exhibit at the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). He noted his appreciation for their dedication to educational exhibits by saying, "Excited to see @rocRMSC's new permanent exhibit featuring art from Indigenous artists inspired by their background and traditions."

Later that day, Morelle turned his attention to the economic impact of small businesses. He recognized their role in providing jobs and investing in local communities. In his post, he remarked, "The strength of our economy lies in the success of small businesses. They uplift families with good jobs and invest in our community." He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting these enterprises through his legislative work.
