On this day, we remember the victims of the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Two years later, many hostages are still in Hamas’s hands. We owe it to them to continue fighting for their freedom and to ensure the world never forgets October 7, 2023.

Thank you Mike Zagrobelny, Tom DiNapoli, Ginger Storey-Welch, SLU College Dems and everyone else who participated in the St.Lawrence County Democratic Annual Fundraiser. It’s always a pleasure and an honor spending time with my local friends and neighbors.

Because of the government shutdown, thousands aren’t being paid and farmers are going bankrupt.

This is wrong—New Yorkers deserve so much better.

With the government shutdown entering its third day, the North Country continues to suffer. Extreme tariffs harm our farm workers, the shutdown has furloughed our federal employees, and soon, many benefits may lapse. It’s time to end the shutdown, end the tariffs, and deliver for New Yorkers.

Today is the end of the quarter, and while Elise Stefanik is too busy working to shutdown the government while running for Governor, I am ready to fight for the North Country. Chip in today, let’s take back New York’s 21st: secure.actblue.com/donate/gende...

St. Lawrence County Farm Bureau hosted another great annual 'Day At The Farm' this past weekend. I enjoyed being a part of it. Lots of great questions from community members on the wagon ride through the dairy farm.

Thank you, John and Barb Spaeth, for your unbelievable hospitality.

You opened your doors to bring friends and neighbors together to discuss challenging issues and uplifting solutions. We appreciate your voices in this effort—let’s continue to spread our campaign message across North County!

We discussed the economy, job creation, and how we can lift rural communities across the district. The dialogue was fantastic!

A special thank you to Bill Doran and Ed for taking the time out of their schedules to organize this great event.

Last night we attended the SUNY Fulton-Montgomery town hall!

Thank you to everyone who attended. It’s an honor to meet my neighbors, business owners, veterans, farmers, parents, and teachers, and answer their thoughtful questions.

And thank you Michael, David and Ken for providing us with an amazing venue! We can’t wait until you open for business!

It was exciting to see so many great candidates at this year’s annual Rome Democratic Committee Fundraiser.  I am excited for Rome’s elections this fall with so much talent and heart! Thank you Angela for all your hard work!

This is how I get things done. From covering corn silage in the morning to meeting with my friends and neighbors for the campaign in the afternoon. Thank you Mother Nature for great weather during harvest and thank Peter and Barbara Beekman for your hospitality

To everyone celebrating Rosh Hashana across the North Country, wishing you and your loved ones a very peaceful, prosperous, and happy New Year! Shana tova!

While our Congresswoman Stefanik is focused on running for Governor, I am holding another town hall this week! Join us on September 26th for a conversation about how we can bring real leadership back to the North Country.

Families in New York could soon see their health care costs rise because of Elise Stefanik's vote today. Her vote is a vote against extending Affordable Care Act premium subsidies.

Without them, premiums will climb and many New Yorkers will priced out of coverage. Shameful.

Congresswoman Stefanik is willing to shutdown the government to protect tax breaks for billionaires.

That’s it, that’s the tweet.

The federal government is barreling toward a shutdown, and Elise Stefanik is willing to give tax breaks to the billionaires in the process.

The North Country deserves better. Unlike Congresswoman Stefanik, I’ll never put personal donors or ambitions ahead of our people.

It was a great afternoon with the Beekmantown democratic committee at Doc’s on the Water.

Thank you for all of your support for my campaign and the many others running for local office in Clinton County. It’s an inspiration to spend time with so many public servants and engaged community members.

I had a wonderful afternoon at the senior picnic in Gloversville yesterday - seeing some familiar faces, and meeting some new ones too. We gathered to celebrate the lives of those that we lost almost 25 years ago on 9/11, and to remember their sacrifice.

As we honor the lives lost on 9/11 we are reminded that violence whether foreign or domestic threatens the very fabric of our democracy. We must stand united against hate and political violence in all its forms.

Political violence has no place in America. I’m praying for Charlie Kirk's family. This is horrific news.

With each passing day, the public sees more horrific evidence of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Meanwhile, Elise Stefanik remains silent, refusing to demand the release of the files.

Epstein's victims deserve better. New Yorkers deserve better.

Thank you to Congressman Raskin and the 400+ New Yorkers who came out this weekend to help build a campaign that is finally focused on lowering costs for everyday New Yorkers.

Food banks across Upstate New York and the North Country are in crisis. Every week, more families need help—and food donations are drying up. Now, with SNAP cuts looming for 40,000+ children in this district, the situation will only get worse. Support your local food bank today.

Elise Stefanik is running from releasing the Epstein files to protect Donald Trump. I'm running for Congress to bring transparency back to New York's 21st. If Stefanik refuses to vote to release them, then I will.

Unlike Elise Stefanik, I stand with the survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s horrific crimes. She refuses to sign onto a discharge petition to release the files. If I were in Congress, I would sign on and demand their release.

I spent a beautiful Labor Day in Hamilton County, meeting with locals in Raquette Lake for their annual summer picnic. I got to hear first-hand the challenges people are facing in the Adirondacks, and enjoyed a fantastic lunch put on by the local community.

Every day, politicians remind us they are more interested in political theater than real solutions. Next November, we change that.

The images out of Minnesota are horrific. As a father, I grieve with the victims and their families. No child should ever fear attending school. They deserved better from our nation.

The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act is sitting in the Senate.

I call on Senate Leadership to get this bill passed and get whole milk back in schools! Whole milk is almost 97% fat free and it’s the most power packed nutrient rich food to help kids get through a full school day!
