Veteran. Air traffic controller. Firefighter. Union rep. Running for Congress in NY‑01 to fight for working families and stand up for Long Island.

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.

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.

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. 🎥
