The Good Fight

Friends,   Democracy depends on respecting the results even if you don't win. Patriotism means loving your country no matter who is president.  I ran for Congress because I was so concerned about the stakes of this election for our country and our community. That still stands.  I'm proud of the ca…

The Time is Now.

Vote! Friends, this is it.  Today’s the day where we decide the future direction of our country and our community here in Suffolk County.   The stakes could not be higher. I believe it’s a choice between hope and hate, unity and division, common ground and chaos. It is the power of love versus the …

Normally at this point, campaigns have to scratch and claw for every single vote. But one vote we know we can't win?  That's right. Nick LaL…

Friends,  It should be the lowest bar in American politics: condemn anyone who praises Adolf Hitler. But failed, far-right Congressman Nick LaLota couldn’t bring himself to do even that. He’s too much of a follower to even take that minor risk of offending his political boss.
