Proud to have the endorsement of Anthony Portesy, Chair of the Brookhaven Town Democratic Committee.

Anthony has been a strong voice for our community, and I’m grateful to have his support as we work to bring accountable, people-first leadership to NY-01.

Proud to have the endorsement of Suffolk County Legislator Greg Doroski.

Greg has shown what real public service looks like, and I’m grateful to have his support as we build a campaign focused on honesty, accountability, and the people of NY-01.

Sat down with a group of Long Islanders who are ready to flip this seat. Grateful for the conversation and the energy behind this movement.

Loved being with the Riverhead Dems last night. Amazing energy, real conversations, and folks ready to get to work to continue the momentum as we head into 2026.

Thank you to the Smithtown Dems for inviting me to their post-election debrief. It’s always encouraging to be in a room full of people who care deeply about our community.

There’s real momentum here on Long Island, and we’re just getting started.

The shutdown has created a cascading crisis in air traffic control. Retirements are surging, training is stalled, and burnout is getting worse.

Watch my segment on @cnn.com about what happens next and why it will take a long time for things to get back to normal 📺

I'm running for Congress because I'm a blue-collar guy from the South Shore of Long Island who knows what everyday families are dealing with, and I want to do better for them.

Grateful to The 11th Hour for having me on to talk about why I’m in this fight. Watch the clip here:

I was honored to join a group of veterans at Stony Brook University yesterday for a conversation about Veterans Day and what it means to serve.

Thank you to those who have worn the uniform, carried the weight, and kept the promise to serve something bigger than themselves.

Shutdowns hurt real people. I saw it firsthand as an air traffic controller in 2018,

That’s why I’m running for Congress: to fix a system that’s left too many behind.

Thanks @audiecornish.bsky.social and @cnn.com for having me on.

No one wants flight delays, but when air traffic controllers are overworked and underpaid during a shutdown, safety has to come first.

I’ve been in the tower, and I know how serious this is. Watch to hear why the FAA made the right call and why I’m running for Congress. 🎥

We're officially one year out from midterms. This election isn't just another contest, it's a referendum on politics that aren't working for the people.

It's time to demand leaders who actually deliver for our communities. Let's get to work and put Long Islanders first.

From knocking on doors with Labor in Suffolk County to joining Long Islanders for a “Where’s Lalota” rally, it’s been a busy weekend here in the district!

It’s been incredible to connect with voters. Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday!
November 3, 2025 at 2:13 AM
Had a great time door-knocking for some of our local elections here in Suffolk County! Friendly reminder to get out and vote before Tuesday 🗳️

To Trick-or-Treat or not to Trick-or-Treat? That is the question.

Wishing all of Long Island a Happy Halloween! Stay safe, look out for your neighbors, and have fun!

Nothing is scarier than ineffective government. I promise to be a fighter in Congress and bring common sense back to Washington.

Help us reach our October goal before midnight tonight. secure.actblue.com/donate/cgny-...

Thank you to the North Brookhaven Democrats for having me speak this week. Moments like this remind me of why I am so committed to winning this election.

You may have heard Pete Hegseth recently called for a return to a “highest male standard” for combat roles, saying “if that means no women qualify, so be it.”

Here's why his comments aren't just wrong, but dangerous 🎥

Long Island teachers are overworked, classrooms are overcrowded, and families are paying more than ever. But instead of helping, Republicans are focused on culture wars and distractions that hurt our schools.

Watch the video to learn more. 🎥

Nick LaLota's focused on partisan headlines. I'm focused on people - families trying to make ends meet, veterans waiting on care, small businesses fighting to stay open.

It's time for leadership that puts people over politics.

Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to American cities isn't just dangerous. It's an authoritarian power grab.

Watch and share why this matters for all of us.

During the 2018 shutdown, I was in the Control Tower keeping planes moving while worrying about how to pay rent.

Watch to hear my thoughts on how this shutdown is making an already tough staffing shortage even harder. 🎥

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the Native peoples whose strength, culture, and resilience shape our nation’s history and future.

Their voices must be heard and respected. I stand with Indigenous communities in the fight for justice and equity.

As a veteran who's served alongside our troops, I can say with confidence: our armed forces don't need Hegseth's ""warrior ethos"" for success.

They embody strength and sacrifice every day. It's time to support them - not use them for political theater.
