Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On April 10, 2023, at Troy High School, after a terrifying wave of 36 ‘swatting’ incidents across New York falsely reporting a mass shooting spurred police to respond to 226 schools, Senator Schumer said he is demanding the FBI launch a full investigation into this latest unprecedented wave and launching his push for more resources to crack down on “swatting.” Schumer said these hoax calls directly hit Troy High, East Greenbush CSD, La Salle Institute and Schodack schools in Rensselaer County, terrifying students, teachers, and parents, and that the feds need to step up to hold criminals accountable and curb attacks like this.
