WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Anthony Brindisi (NY-22) delivered his first speech on the House of Representatives floor on Wednesday morning, outlining his priorities in Congress.

Brindisi said he was honored to stand on the house floor as a representative of New York's 22nd Congressional District.
