Joseph Morelle, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 25th district, has been vocal on various issues through his social media presence. His recent tweets address significant concerns such as affordable housing, education cuts, and community engagement.
On March 16, 2025, Morelle expressed concern over the ongoing affordable housing crisis. He attributed the primary challenge to "a lack of supply" and criticized former President Trump's tariffs for exacerbating the situation by increasing construction costs. Morelle warned that these policies would further inflate living expenses. "We've been fighting an affordable housing crisis for years and the biggest hurdle is a lack of supply."
The following day, March 17, 2025, Morelle addressed the impact of education budget cuts implemented during Trump's presidency. He highlighted that "7.5 million kids receive special education services," emphasizing that children with disabilities would be disproportionately affected by these financial reductions. "President Trump's cuts to education are going to hurt our children—especially those with disabilities."
Later on March 17, 2025, Morelle shared his experience meeting Chris Hastings, the new President and CEO of WXXI News in Rochester. He underscored the importance of public media in serving community needs and reiterated his support for their work. "Glad to meet Chris Hastings, the new President and CEO of @WXXINews."
