SOUTH EDMESTON – In continuing his “Brindisi at Your Business” initiative, Congressman Anthony Brindisi toured Chobani’s South Edmeston plant on Monday to better acquaint himself with the company and its needs.
Brindisi said he launched the “Brindisi at Your Business” program as a way to further understand the needs of businesses in New York’s 22nd Congressional District and the different things those businesses are working towards.
Following the tour, Brindisi said, “As a member of the Agricultural Committee in the house, Chobani is one of our most important employers and I want to make sure that I’m learning firsthand about their needs and how I can do whatever I can down in Washington to help this company and their great employees.”
During his tour, Brindisi said he learned all about the yogurt making process and talked with Chobani employees about some of the issues facing dairy farmers in New York State.
“That’s something that I heard a lot about during the campaign, some of the problems that our dairy farmers are facing,” said Brindisi. “And they have similar concerns here [at Chobani] and want to be supportive of New York’s dairy industry.”
Asked about his first few months in office, Brindisi called it a whirlwind and said he would compare it to drinking from a fire hose.
“You have got a chance to really meet a lot of folks down in Washington, but I want to make sure that we’re doing everything we can back here in the district to make our office as responsive to constituents and businesses throughout our community,” said Brindisi.
After leaving Chobani on Monday, Brindisi headed to the Town of Windsor to kick-off his infrastructure tour and outline his priorities for bipartisan infrastructure legislation.
Brindisi said, “[Upgraded infrastructure] is a major need that I have heard from people across the district and the president during the State of the Union talked about areas where Democrats and Republicans can work together, and I see no better area than infrastructure.”
This Thursday at Mohawk Valley Community College’s Rome campus, Brindisi will hold his second town hall meeting after holding one in Broome County in January. A media release from Brindisi’s office states that he will hold a town hall meeting every month to visit every county in the district in 2019.
He said while there is not yet a date set, a town hall meeting in Chenango County will be announced in the future.
