Pat has been one of the most vocal Democrats leading the charge since Trump took office. He’s called out the Trump Administration and Elon Musk for their reckless firing of VA staff, including veterans. He fought back – and won – when they tried to close the Poughkeepsie Social Security field office. And he continues to demand accountability for Signalgate.
But all of this has put a target on Pat’s campaign. National Republicans have already run attacks against him for standing up to Trump, and we can be sure that their efforts to flip this seat will ramp up.
Pat will continue being the fighter in Washington that the people of the Hudson Valley deserve, but he is counting on a team of grassroots supporters to power him to victory in 2026.
Pat Ryan is a father, veteran, and representative for New York’s 18th Congressional District – and his campaign isn't taking one cent of corporate PAC money in this race.
