Rep. Maloney Hosts Virtual Census Event and Issues New Report Highlighting Dire Costs of NY-12 Undercount

 

Today, Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (NY-12) joined 2020 Census experts and community advocates to release a new report detailing the dire costs of an undercount for NY-12 and urging New Yorkers to complete the 2020 Census. The importance of the Census cannot be underestimated. Data collected from the 2020 Census helps local governments enhance public safety measures and prepare for emergencies. It also determines how much federal funding Congressional districts receive for critical services like education, medical care, foster care, roads, public transit, and job programs.

The Census is the backbone of our democracy. A full and accurate count of all New Yorkers is crucial.
