U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney has invited Oswego County Sheriff Don Hilton to be her guest at President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress next week.

"Sheriff Don Hilton is a highly regarded law enforcement officer from our district, and I am honored to have him join me in attending the Joint Address this year. Since 1987, Sheriff Hilton has dedicated his life to public service, serving in a variety of law enforcement roles across our region," Tenney said in a statement Friday. "He started his career in Oswego County as a corrections officer and has since returned to serve as the Oswego County Sheriff."

Tenney represents New York's 24th Congressional District, which snakes along Lake Ontario’s shoreline from the Thousand Islands to Niagara County, save for the greater Rochester area.

"I am honored to have been asked by Congresswoman Tenney to attend the Joint Address to Congress as her guest, and I look forward to attending," Hilton said in a statement. "I appreciate the endless support Congresswoman Tenney has shown for Law Enforcement."

The president will address Congress on Tuesday, March 4. The event is similar to a State of the Union address, but for new presidents just coming into office.
