CLAUDIA TENNEY

New York GOP Rep. Claudia Tenney is reintroducing the "End Zuckerbucks Act" to prevent 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations from funding official election organizations.

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-New York) introduced a resolution expressing the House of Representatives believe Social Security should be preserved and protected for current beneficiaries, and for future generations to come.

House Republicans highlighted the border crisis as a top concern ahead of President Biden's State of the Union.

Darrell Issa, R-Calif.; Pete Sessions, R-Texas; and Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., begin the 118th Congress on powerful committees and with advice for freshman members.

New York Republicans and Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul have introduced new criminal justice reform plans amid backlash over a rise in gun violence.

The U.S. House is showing its support for protesters in Iran.

Members of Congress are warning that Americans could soon be “paying higher electric bills" if gas stoves are banned, a plan considered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Several high-profile Republicans are introducing a joint resolution calling on President Biden to pressure the United Nations to strip Russia of its permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, which gives Moscow a veto over the council's resolutions.

A new House Republican bill would prohibit the U.S. government from charging U.S. citizens for their evacuation or repatriation flights out of Afghanistan, a response to the State Department and the U.S. Embassy in Kabul telling evacuees to sign a form promising to pay up to $2,000 or more to get out of the country.

The fall of Kabul on Sunday and the resultant emergency evacuation of U.S. citizens from Afghanistan have triggered a wave of outrage among lawmakers, with numerous Republicans going beyond mere criticism of the Biden administration's drawdown of U.S. troops to say that the president ought to vacate office.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen incidentally inspired some bipartisanship in the House on Wednesday when she didn't appear to testify before the House Small Business Committee about COVID-19 relief funding. The pushback to the no-show, PBS' Lisa Desjardins notes, is "unusual." Rep. Nydia Valazquez (D-N.Y.), the committee chair, said that by declining to appear, Yellen is "in complete disregard for the law," likely referring to stipulations in December's relief package.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, delivered the oath of office Thursday morning to Tenney in the House chamber in a brief, socially distanced ceremony. Tenney, 59, built a substantial Election Day lead based on votes cast at polling stations, but her advantage shrank to nearly nothing as a record number of mail-in ballots, mostly cast by Democrats, were counted. Important notes related to challenged ballots were lost because they had been written on sticky notes that lost their adhesiveness and fell off. In the end, a judge ruled that Tenney won by 109 votes out of nearly 319,000 votes cast, or a margin of just 0.034%. The victory gives Tenney revenge for her 2018 loss, but she returns to a Washington in which Republicans have lost the White House, the House and the Senate.

(AP Photo/Mike Groll, File)ALBANY, N.Y. – A New York judge ruled Friday that Republican Claudia Tenney defeated U.S. Rep. Anthony Brindisi by 109 votes in the nation's last undecided congressional race. He rejected an argument by Brindisi's lawyers that certification of the election results should be delayed until an appeals court had a chance to review the case. DelConte said Brindisi can still challenge the election in the House and potentially unseat Tenney. The U.S. House can unseat a member who is “not truly the lawful winner of an election,” the judge wrote.

Democrats boast an ever-expanding target list that includes a half-dozen Republican seats in Texas plus others outside Atlanta, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and Phoenix. The tale of two districts 1,600 miles apart spotlights that many pivotal House races hinge on suburban voters. We're still on offense, said Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., who leads House Democrats' campaign organization. Since January 2019, all 29 Democrats in House districts Trump carried in 2016 have banked more money than their GOP challengers, usually by multiples. The same is true for all but two of the 24 other Democrats in seats Republicans said they'd pursue aggressively this year.

Former Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney is leaning toward running again for the battleground House seat she lost during last year's midterm election. Tenney told CNBC she met earlier this year with leaders from the National Republican Congressional Committee, who encouraged her to run for the New York 22nd District seat she lost to Democrat Anthony Brindisi by 1 percentage point in 2018. "They know that I am the only one who can win it," said Tenney, who added that she's "leaning closer to running." At the moment, election analysts such as Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball rank the 22nd District seat as a toss-up. Federal Election Commission records show Tenney finished raising $3.2 million while Brindisi brought in $4.6 million.
