It’s not a matter of if but when

  Team — The National Republican Congressional Committee released its list of targeted Democrats and Pat was at the top of their list. It’s only a matter of time before the GOP attacks start coming, and we need to be prepared at a moment’s notice when the lies about Pat start hitti…

NY-18 is going to be one of the most competitive races in the country

  Team — At a GOP strategy meeting over the weekend, Republicans named Pat as one of their top 5 targets to defeat next year. After our narrow win in November, Republicans have their eyes fixed on beating Pat. While they might wish to keep it a secret for now, the word is out — Ke…

A somber anniversary

Weapons of war intended to cause mass casualties on the battlefield have no place in our society.   This week was the five-year anniversary of the devastating Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, where 14 students and 3 staff members were killed. Fiftee…

Mid-quarter update

  Hi team!  I wanted to touch base about our fundraising progress so far this year. Our first FEC deadline is at the end of March, so we’re about halfway through the quarter as of this week.  Truth be told, our fundraising has slowed down a bit in the first few months of 2023. Pat …

NY-03 deserves better than George Santos

  Team, it’s been over a month since George Santos was sworn in. Even though several Republicans have called for his resignation, Speaker Kevin McCarthy continues to support George Santos, a verified fraud and a potential national security risk. Santos lied, stole, and cheated his …

Re: Central Hudson

  Team — Last week on the floor of the United States Congress, I called on the CEO of Central Hudson to step down. I stood up to give voice to my constituents who have been screwed over and ripped off by our utility company. I stood for the farmer in Ulster Park who received a uti…

We can win back the House of Representatives by winning in New York. Here’s how:

  Team, Democrats are in a narrow minority in the House of Representatives — but I know that come next election, we can and WILL flip the House back in our favor. And it all starts in New York. Here’s why I’m confident that we can win back the House by winning big in New York: Cook…

Flipping the House starts with New York

  Team, the path to flipping the House of Representatives back into Democratic control runs straight through New York. Republicans narrowly control the House with a four-seat majority, which is why the latest news from Cook Political Report is a sure sign of the importance of New Y…

We must keep the promises we’ve made to seniors

  Team — While House Republicans weigh making cuts to Social Security and Medicare, I want to make it abundantly clear: Medicare and Social Security cannot be held hostage by extremists in Washington for personal or political gain. In NY-18, there are just over 108,000 seniors who r…

An honor to serve my community

  Folks, Today, surrounded by friends, family, and members of my community, I held my in-district swearing-in ceremony at West Point. It’s hard to describe how meaningful it is to me that nearly 20 years after attending West Point, I have the distinct honor of being the first West P…

Logging off?

  Hi team — you’re probably close to logging off for the weekend, so we’ll keep this short. We’re just a few weeks into the new year and new Congress, and already Republicans are showing what they stand for — and it’s not good. House Republicans have already pushed an anti-abortion…

Corporate greed

Someone like George Santos should not have security clearance

George Santos

  Folks, one of the first things I learned as a cadet at West Point was our honor code: "A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do." Well, Republican congressman-elect George Santos has been accused of doing all three of those things: He lied about his work ex…

The far-right is coming after reproductive freedom
