John,
Hard-working families are struggling to afford their most basic needs due to the skyrocketing cost of housing, transportation, child care, and utilities.
Here are the most urgent affordability issues facing Long Islanders:
🏘️ The median house price on Long Island increased by 66%, and in Nassau, median monthly rents increased from $1,407 to $1,940.
🧒 The cost of child care is at an all-time high on average, costing $15,000 per year for infants and $13,000 per year for toddlers in Nassau.
🔧 The costs for utilities hit a record high, with working families struggling to keep up with the increasing costs of water, gas, and electricity bills.
As Town Supervisor, I cut costs and lowered taxes. I introduced a program that would’ve dramatically lowered energy costs for families. Anthony D’Esposito killed that program and is doing nothing in Washington to help our families trying to make ends meet. Long Island families deserve better.
Do you support a more affordable future on Long Island?

In Congress, I will work to bring major investments to Long Island and make sure no working family is left behind in my fight for affordability. Unlike Anthony D’Espsito, who has a history of working to fill his own pockets and listen to special interests, I will do everything in my power to ensure Long Island is a place where families can live for generations.
But I need your support to flip this seat blue and fight for affordability on Long Island.
That’s why I’m asking you to add your name to show your support for a more affordable Long Island today!

Let’s fight for an affordable future together,
Laura Gillen
