From fighting against the far-left agenda, to policy review sessions early in the morning and late at night, to baseball practice with colleagues, Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., says her first six months as a House member have been anything but boring.
There is a “side of being a member of Congress that a lot of people don’t get to see,” Cammack says. “They don’t get to see you sitting at your desk with curlers in your hair. Having your second cup of coffee at 5 o’clock in the morning, trying to dig into the legislation.”
SHERBURNE (WBNG) Congresswoman Claudia Tenney made a visit to the Southern Tier Thursday as part of an effort to expand broadband access to rural areas.

During her time in the village, she discussed enacting legislation such as the Gigabit Opportunity Act, which will create broadband opportunity zones for areas without sufficient internet access.
“The village would like autonomy, the town would like to have autonomy to be able to control the rates so that they can provide flexible rates to people who are disadvantaged,” said Tenney.
