Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On July 8, 2020, standing outside Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer renewed his push for immediate, direct federal aid for state and local governments like those in Otsego County. Schumer said that as communities reopen and seek to recover from the devastating financial impacts of the height of the COVID-19 crisis in New York, state and local governments need federal relief that can be used to pay for essential services, offset lost revenues and increased costs, and aid in economic recovery. Schumer explained that Otsego County estimates an over $12 million loss in revenue, and has been especially hard hit due to the decrease in tourism. Schumer noted that communities throughout Otsego County were nothing short of heroes as they fought on the frontlines to protect their residents, and they should not have to fight to keep their jobs, stay afloat, and keep hospitals open.
