Gillibrand Statement On Job And Energy Killing Empire Wind 1 And Sunrise Wind Pause

Dec 22, 2025

Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement on the brazen attack on New York’s energy economy by Trump’s Department of the Interior:

“This announcement has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with a political agenda against energy and job creation in New York. There is no justification for a decision that destroys good-paying union jobs and drives up energy costs for hardworking New York families. I urge the Interior Secretary to reverse this reckless pause and allow these projects to power homes, job creation, and New York’s economy.”
