Today, I’m not asking you to donate to me, but to donate to Western NY HEROS, the organization that supposed me after coming home while I was battling cancer.

Addiction, homelessness, and severe and chronic PTSD can handicap them in relationships for the rest of their lives. Those are my heroes. And we owe them more.

I want to also call out the veterans who faced death daily while in combat. Those people rarely get the recognition or services they deserve. Their struggles are nodded to but not understood or prioritized.

I’m committing to fight for better VA healthcare and economic opportunities so every vet can thrive. Let’s make Congress serve those who served us.

I want to congratulate all of the candidates I walked for over the course of this phenomenal season and all the other incredible people who made history across New York State. I could not be more excited about what this energy has in store for 2026!!

I spent my election day working the polls from 4am to 10pm while my team was making calls for local candidates like my friend and Niagara County's newly re-elected legislator Carla Speranza!

Collin Hayes will serve Avon with dedication and optimism. He is committed, effective, experienced and INDEPENDENT.
