The North Country moves forward with early support

Herbert, It’s not too late to become a 2026 Founding Donor! BECOME A FOUNDING DONOR ([link removed]) Your early support this year is crucial. It gives us the resources to compete against Republican multimillionaire Anthony Constantino, who poured $5 million of his own money into his campaign on d…

What about the affordability crisis at home?

Herbert, My Republican opponent, Anthony Constantino, praised Trump’s moves in Venezuela like it was some heroic ‘America First’ moment. Supporting an open-ended, taxpayer-funded occupation of a foreign nation that was not approved by the representatives we send to Congress is not putting Amer…

The MAGA machine targets the North Country

Herbert, With Elise Stefanik out of the race, the MAGA faithful are already scrambling to snatch up her soon-to-be-vacant seat. Enter Republican Marc Molinaro: Trump’s current Federal Transit Administration boss, former congressman, and all-around Trump loyalist. New York Post: Trump’s FTA boss M…

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

Herbert, 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 to build his “Trumpland.” I’m a second-generation dairy farmer in the North Cou…

Thanks for your support in 2025!

Thanks for your support in 2025, Herbert! 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. With your continued support, we can make 2026 …

I want to explain what’s at stake this week

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 have only a few days left to hit our $50,000 must-reach goal and finish the quarter strong. Once the deadline passes, we will have to report our fundraising numbe…

A personal message from Carmen, Blake’s wife

Herbert, I’m 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. As the coldest months settle in, his focus must be on preparing the farm equipment and caring for…

Rural America needs someone like Blake

Herbert, It’s former U.S. Senator Jon Tester. I am proud to support Blake Gendebien in his run for Congress. Blake and I may come from different states, but we have a lot in common. We both know what it takes to run a farm, with long days, early mornings, late nights, and a lot of hard work. And w…

I’ll give you 3 reasons

Herbert, I know you’re busy, but I can explain in just three reasons how $3 can go a long way here in the North Country: 1️⃣ 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 li…

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

NNY360 spent a morning with Blake—see what they found

Herbert, NNY360 recently spent a morning with Blake, and they confirmed exactly what we’ve been telling you all along: Blake is different. He isn’t a politician. He’s a North Country native who grabs coffee with his dad (pictured) at the Tim Hortons, Subway, and Valero combo, and spends long days …

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

ICYMI: USDA data exposes empty promises

Herbert, In May, China stopped buying U.S. soybeans because of Trump’s actions. Then he tried to make it look better with promises about boosting exports. But guess what? Those promises are still empty. Not surprising, but still frustrating. Agrinews: USDA data casts doubts on China’s soybean …

Results over insults

Herbert, My Republican opponent, Anthony Constantino, called me a “swamp creature.” Comments like that are exactly what’s wrong with politics today. I was born and raised in the North Country, and now I’m raising my own family here. This isn’t how we treat people in our community. I’m not r…

We earn votes the right way
