Listen, I've been a part of this community my entire life. The first district is where I went to high school, got my first job cleaning rooms at the local inn, and where I've raised my kids. This community means everything to me, but in the past few years, I have watched Lee Zeldin stoke division and put his own interests before ours.
It's not just frustrating; Zeldin's dangerous rhetoric has resulted in a genuine burden on our communities. This is why I'm committed to doing everything I can to flip this seat and secure stronger leadership for Suffolk County. I will always listen. I will always show up for you like I would show up for my own family.
This isn't going to be an easy seat to flip, but I know we can do it by building a movement powered by and for the people. In the next couple of days, you're going to hear from my team about why chipping in toward our October fundraising goal is so important -- and it is -- but before they do that, I want to make an appeal directly from me to you.
