Today, the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps, we honor all who have served and sacrificed for our nation.
I’m especially thinking of my uncle, William Raymond Gendebien, a Marine pilot whose F-4B Phantom II was shot down over Quang Nam in 1965.

Started the day off with some local TV interviews and finished it off with a wonderful house visit with some great friends and neighbors! Another amazing day on the trail.

Today’s a great day! We just brought our final load of soybeans to Bourdeau Brothers. The North Country has some of the best farmers in the world! Let’s support them and elect a dairy farmer to Congress!

Happy Election Day, New York! I was proud to spend the past year traveling across New York’s 21st, helping get out the vote for our local communities. If you haven’t voted yet, make a plan today, and make your voice heard. Let’s win this!

Over the past year, I’ve traveled across all 15 Counties of New York’s 21st District — from Glens Falls to Massena, from Plattsburgh to Rome. — standing beside local candidates who care deeply about our communities. Now it’s your turn to make your voice heard. Democracy only works when we show up.

Tomorrow, thousands of New Yorkers are going to wake up without SNAP benefits. Right now, we need to come together to help our fellow community members in anyway we can. Support your local food banks and contribute your time and resources if you are able.

First Argentina killed our soybean business, now they have the green light from DC to destroy our beef ranchers. Washington is selling us out and New Yorkers deserve better. It’s why I am running for Congress—enough with D.C. insiders representing us.

Mike Johnson is playing games with the livelihoods of more than 50,000 households in New York’s 21st that rely on SNAP and food assistance to survive. They need to get back to work and start earning their paycheck just like all the hard working people up in the North Country have to do.

Congratulations to Cassie Robbins Forbus and the Lewis County Democrats for an amazing evening.
I feel hope for our country when Democrats, Republicans and independents come together for an evening filled with great conversation and laughter.

It was a pleasure spending time at the Peru Democrats meet and greet. Any time I get to speak with friends and neighbors about the issues that matter most to them is a great day. A special thank you to Marque Moffett and her team for all their hard work on a great event.

I’m here in my soybean field. Because of the tariff war this year, American farmers lost their soybean business to Argentina. And what do we do to help US farmers? We send Argentina $20 billion dollars. Why are we saving Argentina’s economy?

Agriculture is the number one industry in the North Country. Right now, it’s getting hit hard during the government shutdown. We cannot wait any longer. While Washington fights each other, we need leaders who will fight for us.

Because of the government shutdown, thousands aren’t being paid and farmers are going bankrupt.
This is wrong—New Yorkers deserve so much better.

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.

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.

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

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.
