Maloney: #TheTimeisNow to Come Together
Joined by dozens of businesses, farmers, and community leaders, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) called on Speaker John Boehner and the House of Representatives to allow a vote on comprehensive immigration reform legislation before the end of the year.

In June, the Senate acted in a bipartisan way – with a vote of 68 to 32 – to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Maloney to help address the Veterans Administration (VA)’s backlog of disability claims. Earlier this year, Representative Sean Patrick Maloney introduced the Disabled Veterans Red Tape Reduction Act, HR 1521, to allow veterans to have their medical examinations done by physicians outside the VA system to help process veterans’ disability claims faster.
