Only 100 days until Election Day. This campaign has always been powered by people, not special interests. And together, we’re going to win. Let’s get to work. #election #newyork #longisland #suffolkcountyny #politics
Thank you, Jake Tapper, for having me on CNN. At the end of the day, my focus is always on Long Islanders. While Washington often gets caught up in distractions, the people I represent are dealing with real challenges right now—rising costs and the struggle to afford everyday essentials.
I’m honored to be endorsed by VoteVets and to stand alongside an incredible slate of veterans running for Congress. I’m grateful for VoteVets’ confidence in our campaign and proud to stand with fellow veterans who are committed to putting service over politics.
I’m incredibly proud and honored to receive the endorsement of @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social , a tireless advocate for New York’s working families, veterans, women, and survivors of domestic violence. #Politics
I am devastated by reports that two service members have been killed in the war with Iran and I am praying for the safe return of another service member currently missing in action. My heart is with their families, friends, and fellow troops. It’s time to end the war and bring our troops home.
I was looking through old photos recently, and I couldn’t help but reflect on the journey that’s brought me here. Looking back, I realized there has always been one constant in my life: service. I’m running because I believe Long Island deserves leaders who put service before politics.
The recent fatal ICE shootings that claimed the lives of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, Alex Pretti, and Renée Good are heartbreaking and unacceptable These tragedies reflect serious failures in leadership, training, and accountability. #politics
This election isn’t about party. It’s about real leadership. It’s about who will fight for Long Island families, protect our healthcare, lower costs, and put our community ahead of politics and special interests. #politics #ny01 #peoplepowered
Nick LaLota is threatening to withhold federal funding unless local communities get in line with his agenda. I’ll fight to bring your federal tax dollars back home to Long Island, where they belong. It’s time for REAL representation. #ny01 #congress #politics #suffolkcountyny #longisland
This campaign is powered by the voices of everyday Long Islanders. It’s the voices of all of our neighbors that make this campaign special. Not special interests. Real people. Real representation. #PeoplePowered #LongIsland #NY01 #SuffolkCountyNY #Politics
Happy Independence Day and happy 250th anniversary, America! 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate the ideals that bring us together: freedom, opportunity, and the belief that no matter where we come from, we’re all part of the American story. #america #independenceday #4thofjuly #longisland #suffolkcountyny
Let’s be real: when was the last time you saw Nick LaLota standing in your community, listening to your concerns in person? Representation isn’t about showing up every two years. It’s about showing up every day. #Congress #NY01 #LongIsland #SuffolkCounty #SuffolkCountyNY
Today, more than 63,000 Long Islanders are losing Essential Plan coverage. Nick LaLota gave Long Islanders his word. He said he’d oppose deeper Medicaid cuts, then voted for them anyway and we are feeling the results now. #bigbeautifulbill #congres #nicklalota
I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the Committee to Protect Health Care and to be designated as a Care for U.S. Candidate. This endorsement means so much because health care is not just a policy issue, it is about people’s lives, dignity, and freedom.
This campaign has never been about one person. It’s about a community coming together to build something better. People across NY-01 are stepping up because they believe it’s time for real leadership and real solutions. This is what a truly people-powered campaign looks like.
I’m running for Congress because Long Island deserves a representative who will fight for working families, not special interests. For too long, politicians like Nick LaLota. I know what service means, and I know we can do better.
No American should have to choose between picking up a prescription or putting food on the table. I’m running for Congress because the America I know — can do better than career politicians like Nick Lalota stripping healthcare from millions. #longisland #ny01 #congress #suffolkcounty
I’m incredibly proud of the movement we’ve built, the conversations we’ve had, and every volunteer, supporter, friend, and voter who made this moment possible.
I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Congressman Pat Ryan, a fellow veteran and public servant who knows what it means to put country, community, and service above politics.
NY-01, make your voting plan. Early voting is happening now, and Primary Day is Tuesday, June 23. I’m running because I believe Long Island deserves the best leadership that brings people together, tells the truth, and delivers real results.
This is typical of Nick LaLota. Using federal funding as a political weapon to pressure local communities into supporting ICE's agenda is exactly what's wrong with Washington. Our communities should not be punished for standing up for their values. #NY01 #LongIsland #Congress #ICE #SuffolkCounty
✅ Expand SALT deductions to lower taxes for middle-class families ✅ Reduce prescription drug costs and healthcare expenses ✅ Expand the Child Tax Credit to help working parents ✅ Increase access to affordable childcare ✅ Crack down on corporate price gouging ✅ Invest in workforce housing
The Mission Plan 2027 is here. This six-point roadmap will guide my work in Congress and focus on the issues that matter most to Long Island families: affordability, infrastructure, healthcare, protecting veterans, supporting working families, and restoring trust in government. #MissionPlan2027
Long Island deserves leadership that brings people together. This isn't about red or blue. It's about lowering costs, protecting healthcare, improving infrastructure, and making Long Island a place where families can afford to stay and thrive.
Early voting is already underway for the Democratic Primary, and Election Day is June 23rd. You can find your early voting site at votenydems.org/vote . Together, we can build a stronger future for Long Island, defeat Nick LaLota in November, and elect a leader who will unite our communities.
Today, on Flag Day, we celebrate the symbol that has united generations of Americans through our greatest challenges and our greatest triumphs. As a veteran, firefighter, union leader, and public servant, I've always believed the American flag represents something bigger than politics.
Honored to earn the endorsement of Pete Buttigieg. I’m grateful for Pete’s support and proud of the movement we’re building across Long Island. Together, we’re proving that people-powered campaigns can take on the status quo and deliver the affordable future Long Islanders deserve. #ChrisGallant
You know what most Americans are asking for right now? Not special treatment. Not handouts. Not empty promises. They’re asking for a fair shot. A chance to work hard, build a life, raise a family, and know that if they do everything right, they can still get ahead.
The entire Suffolk County Democratic Legislature has spoken. When leaders from every corner of NY01 come together behind one campaign, it sends a clear message: Long Islanders are ready for a new generation of leadership. The momentum is real.
🚨 GOTV RALLY & CANVASS LAUNCH 🚨 Join me and our friends at 1199SEIU as we kick off our Get Out The Vote effort and continue building the movement that's bringing new leadership to Long Island.
