I've had honor of meeting hundreds of servicemembers from our region and across the globe, all fighting for our freedoms.

As military spouses move from state to state with their servicemember on military orders, it is important that we do what is necessary to make sure they have the opportunity to maintain their hard-earned professional licensing and certification.

In the 114th Congress, I had the privilege of serving on two of the most important Committees in the House of Representatives: the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Education and the Workforce.

As the first member of my immediate family to graduate from college, I understand the importance access to high quality education plays in preparing our children to learn and compete in a competitive, global workforce.

One of the first bills I introduced in Congress was the Be Open Act, legislation to help ease an unnecessary, duplicative and punitive burden placed on employees and employers under the Affordable Care Act.

Overwhelming, student loan payments are holding millions back from buying homes, starting families, and saving for retirement.

The North Country of New York is a region steeped in rich military tradition. Our corner of this country stands out for the remarkable tradition of brave men and women putting themselves in harm's way for our nation.

Our country is eternally grateful for the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make each day.

The Millennial Generation is being crushed by soaring college costs and student loan debt, and as lawmakers, we must find solutions to address affordability and flexibility in higher education.

Pell grants are critical tools for lower- and middle-income students to access higher education, and by expanding access to year-round courses, we can help non-traditional students complete their education sooner, allowing them to start their careers and pay off their loans.

When I was elected to Congress, I made a commitment to my constituents that my office would set the standard to be open and transparent.

Throughout my first term in office, we have taken many steps to keep my commitment to make my work in Congress as transparent and accessible as possible.

Social media is a powerful tool to connect constituents with the policy making process.

I use Facebook on a daily basis to share information about my work in Congress and across our great district. I put information about constituent meetings, video of various Congressional hearings, and share local news stories from around our region.

In addition to advocating for smart policies that best serve our heroes, it is also my role as a Member of Congress to advocate for our veterans when working with federal agencies.

Our nation truly owes a debt of gratitude to all who have served and sacrificed on behalf of this great country.

What few realize is the unique role the North Country of New York played in advancing women's rights in the United States.

As the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, I certainly would not be here today without the passion, dedication, and activism of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

We need to encourage young women to run for office and become civic leaders in their own communities.

Women are bipartisan. We bring a different perspective on every issue. And I believe that every issue is a woman's issue.

The United States must continue to support efforts made by Middle Eastern governments to educate Muslim youth and steer them away from violent radicalization.

I had this perception based on my own frustrations with Washington, but I didn't realize until I launched this campaign how much people are looking for a new generation of leadership and a new approach in Washington.

I understand firsthand that Washington is broken.

I think being a young woman is a strength.

I think the more women we have running for office the better.

I was in the same class as Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard. So we really experienced Facebook in a unique way. It launched our sophomore year, and we were also the first class where it became a recruiting tool.

I was the first candidate to announce my run on Instagram. So that was kind of cool.

President Obama's greatest failure is his failure regarding foreign policy and national security.

Millennials don't believe that government is the most effective in solving problems, and that lack of faith in big government is an opportunity for Republicans to win over millennials.

I support religious liberty, but I also think it is very important as a Republican Party that we bring a compassionate tone when talking about women's health care issues, when we talk about pro-life and pro-choice.
