Congressman Josh Riley Issues Statement on Trump Administration Federal Funding Freeze

Today, Congressman Josh Riley (NY-19) issued the following statement in response to the Trump Administration’s announced funding freeze on all federal grants and loans:

“The OMB’s directive freezing federal funding is complete bullshit.

I’m fighting back. If you’re impacted and need help, please contact my office.”
