She’s leading the fight to reinvigorate American manufacturing, incentivize companies to bring jobs back to the United States, and keep good jobs here in New York. She passed the Main Street Employee Ownership Act, which made it easier for small businesses that want to stay in their communities to become employee-owned co-ops. And when the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was passed, she fought to make sure those new infrastructure projects would prioritize hiring workers from local communities. Senator Gillibrand is also pushing to establish a national paid leave program, because no one should ever have to choose between keeping their job and having a child, caring for a loved one, or looking after their own health.","source_url":"https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/priorities","source_date":"2026-05-23"},{"topic":"National Security","stance":"Veterans and Service Members","detail":"As a member of the Armed Services Committee, Senator Gillibrand is a champion for our nation’s veterans and service members. She strongly believes that our service members are the greatest asset to our national security and that supporting those who serve is central to ensuring military readiness. She supports annual pay raises for service members, and each year she assists hundreds of New York veterans with disability claims pending within the Department of Veterans Affairs—helping to clear delays and often resulting in veterans receiving over $1,000 in average monthly payments from the VA. She also passed major legislation to ensure veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxins get the health care and benefits they earned. And after a nearly decade-long fight, she successfully reformed the military justice system to make it more professional and fair.","source_url":"https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/priorities","source_date":"2026-05-23"},{"topic":"National Security","stance":"National Security","detail":"In addition to her work on the Armed Services Committee, Senator Gillibrand is a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
