Thanks for your support in 2025!

Looking back on the year, I’m grateful for the opportunities I had to connect with our community. In 2025, I was able to hold 15 town halls and visit all 15 counties in our district thanks to your support.   Thanks for your support in 2025, Herbert! Looking back on the year, I…

One last push tonight

Tonight's FEC filing deadline is quickly approaching, and we’re falling a little behind right now. Please pitch in whatever you can before midnight to help us get there.   Herbert, Hi, it’s Blake. I’m sorry to bother you on New Year's Eve, but this is important. Tonight's FEC filing dea…

A personal note from Blake’s Finance Director

Our final FEC filing deadline of 2025 is tonight. These numbers we report will be how we start the election year. We are running in an open-seat race that our Republican opponent has dumped millions of his own money into. All eyes are on us to see if we can match what he has invested.   …

I work on a farm, he buys statues–see the difference

My Republican opponent, Anthony Constantino, doesn’t know the North Country. He’s a multimillionaire who has spent the past year cozying up to Donald Trump—buying a 7-foot bronze statue of him and planning his “Trumpland.”   Herbert, My Republican opponent, Anthony Constantino…

I want to explain what’s at stake this week

Our next FEC filing deadline is Wednesday. That means we have only a few days left to hit our $50,000 must-reach goal and finish the quarter strong.   Hi, it’s Blake. This week is a critical one for our campaign. Here is why: Our next FEC filing deadline is Wednesday. That means we ha…

A personal message from Carmen, Blake’s wife

Over the past year, I have watched Blake juggle more responsibilities than most people can imagine. In addition to running for Congress, he manages our family farm.   Herbert, I’m Carmen, Blake’s wife. Over the past year, I have watched Blake juggle more responsibilities t…

ICYMI: Stefanik’s announcement

First, Washington insiders withdrew her nomination for UN Secretary and kept her in Congress. Then, instead of facing us head-on, she launched a last-minute run for governor. Now, she’s walking away altogether.   Herbert, Elise Stefanik announced she is suspending her campaign…

Rural America needs someone like Blake

There is no better time than now to elect a farmer and North Country native to Congress. Chaotic tariffs have left farmers high and dry, cuts to healthcare have forced rural hospitals to close, and families are struggling just to get by.   Herbert, It’s former U.S. Senator Jon Tester.…

I’ll give you 3 reasons

I’m up against a Republican opponent who is a multimillionaire and has already invested $5 million of his own money into his campaign. That’s why grassroots donations like yours matter more than ever.   Herbert, I know you’re busy, but I can explain in just three reasons how $…

Trump’s super fan isn’t who the North Country needs

I’m not a Washington insider. I was born and raised in the North Country, and I run a dairy farm here. But to turn this opportunity into a victory for our community, I need your help.   Herbert, My Republican opponent, Anthony Constantino, is known for being a “Trump mega-fan.…

Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve raised over $4 million

USDA data exposes empty promises

I know trade. I know markets. I know how one bad decision in Washington can destroy a season, a livelihood, and a family farm. Watching politicians who’ve never grown a crop play power games with our livelihood is unacceptable.   Herbert, In May, China stopped buying U.S. soyb…

ICYMI: We have a Republican challenger 🚨

We earn votes the right way

Constantino thinks he can buy your vote with millions of his own money. That is not how we do things in the North Country. Here, we earn trust through hard work, showing up in the community, and standing by our values, not by writing a check.   Herbert, This is how my Republic…

I need your help to stop another elite from taking power

He claims to be an outsider, but he’s using his wealth and privilege to cozy up to Trump. He even gifted Trump a seven-foot bronze statue of the president, with Constantino’s own name engraved on it. It’s yet another reminder of how dysfunctional Washington has become.   Herber…

Donald Trump called for violence against me

I took the oath in the Navy—and I took it again when I was elected to Congress. That oath doesn’t expire—and I’ll be damned if Donald Trump, a man who tried to overthrow our government on January 6, 2021, tells me how to serve this country. So Trump can threaten me, call for my arrest, and even tr…
