Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On May 27th, 2025, after House Republicans just last week voted to pass the largest cut to the anti-hunger program SNAP in American history, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer stood with Rochester-Finger Lakes religious leaders, food banks, and farmers to lead the fight against the devastating $300 billion SNAP to fund Trump’s tax cuts for corporations & billionaires, that would leave thousands of seniors, families, and children hungry. The senator slammed NY House Republicans for unanimously voting to steal from SNAP, which over 150,000 in the Rochester-Finger Lakes region rely on for food, and joined with church leaders and hunger advocates to emphasize how this is a moral issue that the GOP must stop as the Senate considers changes to the bill.
