Thirteen years ago this week, Superstorm Sandy devastated New York City—taking lives, destroying homes, and forever changing our community, but the strength & resilience of New Yorkers helped us rebuild together. Today, the threat of storms like this is greater than ever. I won't

13 years after Hurricane Sandy pummeled the Northeast, I joined the @HouseDemocrats & @SenateDems calling for Trump to protect Americans from climate change. Â Bills like my Stop @NOAA Closures Act is key to stopping Trump from abandoning the fight against climate change.

Superstorm Sandy was an unimaginable nightmare when it first struck the northeast 13 years ago. But today, extreme weather events have only grown more devastating, more frequent, and tragically, more normal. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Superstorm Sandy hit New York 13 years ago today and changed our communities forever. I’ll never forget the resilience and strength New Yorkers displayed during such devastation. I'll always fight to make sure we have the federal resources to prepare for the next major storm.
