I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.
The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.
Nothing trickled down.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
