John, government transparency and efficiency have been my thing since day one!

When I ran for Town Supervisor of Homestead in 2017, my platform focused on rooting out corruption, eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the government, and bringing more accountability and transparency to taxpayers so they would know where their money was being spent. And I got it done!

Listen, I’m all for cutting waste and eliminating fraud in our government, but we must do so in accordance with the law and with full transparency.

The Trump administration is recklessly taking a chainsaw to the federal budget and firing essential government workers, illegally freezing federal grants, and threatening funding for critical programs like Social Security and Medicaid that millions of Americans rely on.

The best way to hold Trump accountable is to win back the House next year—and that starts with defending this seat. The Cook Political Report has already named NY-04 the only ‘TOSS-UP’ race in New York. Defending this seat will be critical to taking back the House and holding the Trump administration accountable.

Can I count on you to make a contribution today to ensure we have what it takes to secure a Democratic House majority in 2026 and build a more transparent and efficient government?

With gratitude,

Laura Gillen
