There are certain people who touch your life in a powerful way, and my 10th grade high school teacher was one of them. We always kept in touch through the years and she’s witnessed me through the different phases of my life. I was ecstatic when she surprised me!

Early voting begins TODAY! Throughout our campaign we’ve shown what true service-driven leadership looks like. It’s time to cast your vote. 🗳️ The momentum is here in NY-01 and the only way we can ignite change is taking action. Show up, vote & bring someone with you to the polls! #voting

I’ve watch Congress continually fail the American people and it’s time for change & a breath of fresh air. Republican or Democrat, I am running to represent and show up fully for the needs of NY-01. It’s time for real service-driven leadership. #congress #longisland #suffolkcountyny #politics

With over 20 years of service as an FAA air traffic controller, military pilot, and union president, I have firsthand experience in understanding the vitality of aviation safety. In Congress, I will support the AFA-CWA and work with our membership to strengthen workplace protections for individuals.

Hear from the voters of NY-01 directly. This district is in play and voters are ready for new ideas in Congress and leadership that shows up. It’s time for real collaborative, service-driven leadership that truly listens to their constituents. 🗳️ #congress #midterms #election #suffolkcountyny

War should never be taken lightly. Wholly unqualified people like Pete Hegseth should not be calling the shots. As a veteran, I know that military leadership should be guided by experience, sound strategy, and the safety of our service members.

4 DAYS until early voting begins and just 2 WEEKS until Election Day! Talking directly to voters is proven to be the number one way we can get someone to vote. So we’re knocking across the district. Flipping this seat is WITHIN REACH. Sign up through the Mobilize link in our bio! 🔗

I’m proud to receive the endorsement of Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 1109. As a former air traffic controller and union president, I know firsthand the power of organized labor. Thank you to CWA Local 1109 for your trust and support. 💪

Now is the time to take action! 🗳️ Only 6 days until early voting starts on October 24th & 16 days until the November 3rd election. The best way to help ‘Get Out The Vote’ for Chris Gallant is knocking doors, so sign up for a GOTV shift with the link in our bio. Every person makes a difference!

1 week until early voting begins, and 17 days until Election Day. Nick LaLota has shown you who he is— cutting 63,000 Long Islanders off of their healthcare, hosting 0 town halls, and voting against ending the war in Iran with no end in sight. It’s time for real service based leadership.

I am proud to accept PEF’s endorsement, as a steadfast advocate for public employees. A lifetime in public service has shown me the importance of having strong unions to advocate for their workers. In Congress I will work to deliver for our working families and protect union jobs.

We’re live, Ads running across platforms 📺! Congress has its lowest approval rating in years and it’s more expensive than ever. I am running to combat this. It’s time for leadership that will deliver real results to the working families of Long Island. Vote for real leadership November 3 🗳️.

Equality New York PAC is proud to endorse Chris Gallant for U.S. Congress because this moment demands leaders who know what it means to serve, fight, and live authentically. Chris has done all three and has made clear that he will be a fighter for our community in Washington.

Winter is coming and it’s only getting more expensive to heat your home and other basic needs. Join me tomorrow in Huntington at our town hall to discuss everyday concerns like this, and the solutions that I propose in Congress. #congress #longisland #suffolkcountyny #newyork #politics

I had an incredible weekend sharing my story and connecting with voters throughout the district. From Huntington to East Hampton, I believe in showing up everywhere and making sure everyone’s voices are heard. #longislandny #suffolkcountyny #huntington #newyork #congress

Join us for a Town Hall in Huntington on October 13th. I want to hear from you. Throughout this campaign it has always been my priority to connect directly with the people I would represent in Congress. Bring a friend, family member or neighbor. I look forward to seeing you then!

Join us for our next Town Hall in Huntington on Tuesday October 13. Town Halls are an opportunity to hear directly from your representatives. Hosting Town Halls is a practice that I value greatly, and it’s a central part of my Mission Plan for Long Island. #congress #longislandny

Celebrating the 35th Annual St. James Day, in a community with a history that goes back generations. St. James has that special Long Island charm where history and community still feel connected. #longisland #congress #saintjames #suffolkcountyny #ny01

Endorsement Alert 💜💛: 32BJ SEIU I’m honored to earn the support of 32BJ, one of New York’s most important and venerable unions. As a union leader, I know the true scale of the power workers have when we stand together. The men and women of 32BJ make our communities run.

🌎 ENDORSEMENT ALERT: Sierra Club I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the Sierra Club, one of our nation’s leading environmental advocacy organizations. Long Island’s environment is our home, our drinking water, our coastline, and our future. #congress #enviornment

Join us as we celebrate the opening of our Southampton office! We are fired up to connect with voters and make change in our communities. We will celebrate together, hear from our guests, then go out and knock on doors to help spread the word about our amazing candidates. Let’s do this 🗳️ .

We’re in the final stretch and I’m spending October connecting directly with the people of NY-01. I am hosting our next town hall on Tuesday, October 13 in Huntington. This is what true representation looks like and how democracy works best. I look forward to seeing you all there. #huntington

Sunday lunch at Robke’s in Northport with incredible company. The food was delicious, and the conversation was profound. The momentum is real and we are making strides to a Suffolk County with strong leadership and better representation. Let’s do this in November 🗳️ #election #longisland

ENDORSEMENT ALERT: Human Rights Campaign PAC✨ This endorsement is deeply personal. My commitment to equality, dignity, and freedom for every American is rooted in my own experience and my belief that everyone deserves to live without fear or discrimination. #equality #humanrights

Hosting town halls and having direct, honest conversations with residents is a vital part of the democratic process. Thank you to the 160+ residents that came to our packed town hall in Middle Island - our eighth town hall in the past year. My next town hall will be in October, stay tuned!

✨ENDORSEMENT ALERT: LGBTQ+ Victory Fund ✨ I’m proud to announce that I’ve earned the endorsement of LGBTQ+ Victory Fund. NY-01 is ready for new leadership. Leadership that brings people together and believes every person deserves the freedom to live authentically.

You know what’s sexy? A plan that actually delivers for Long Island. My 6-point Mission Plan is focused on the issues that affect our lives every day. Politics should be about solutions and results. #politics #breakingnews #longisland #suffolkcountyny #newyork

Let’s be clear about what this is: a coordinated political hit meant to drive me out of this race. I’m proud of who I am. I won’t be shamed into silence – and I won’t allow my private life to be distorted and weaponized against me.

Nick Lalota is a career politician hoping voters won’t kick the tires on his lies. Let’s set the table straight on SALT. Let’s be clear: the $40,000 cap is a temporary fix with an expiration date. I’m Chris Gallant. In Congress, I’ll fight for permanent SALT relief. #congress #suffolkcountyny

Corrupt politicians in DC have sold out the middle class and Nick Lalota is part of the problem. We need fighters in DC that will take on corruption to bring down the cost of living. In Congress, I’ll be a fighter for Long Island, not another rubber stamp. #cnn #breakingnews #longisland #politics

Happy National Aviation Day! ✈️ Aviation has taught me that leadership is about preparation, responsibility, & staying steady when the stakes are high. From serving as a Black Hawk pilot in the Army National Guard to working as an air traffic controller. Service has always been my mission. #congress

Gas prices on Long Island are now averaging more than $4 a gallon, nearly a dollar more than this time last year. The war with Iran has disrupted global oil markets and families are feeling the impact. Nick LaLota voted to let the war continue at the cost of Long Islanders. #affordability

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to serve as a panelist at a Youth Town Hall and hear directly from the next generation of Long Islanders. Engaging our young people is vital, especially as too many feel they are being priced out of the communities they grew up in. #genz #millennial #political

Nick LaLota has been a rubber stamp for Donald Trump, not a voice for Long Island. We deserve a representative who shows up, listens, and fights for working families. It’s time for change. #longisland #suffolkcountyny #ny01 #congress #politics

When LaLota had the chance to help make the Epstein records public, he refused to push the Justice Department and voted "no" to declassify files.  Time and again, when given a choice between standing up for Long Island or falling in line with Donald Trump and partisan politics, LaLota chooses Trump.

Nearly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have been deployed for months beyond what they were promised, with reports of shortages of food and a devastating toll on those serving aboard. Nick LaLota rubber-stamped this war. Our service members are paying the price.

I’m proud to announce that I’ve earned the endorsement of Planned Parenthood Action Fund. In Congress, I will fight to protect women’s access to healthcare, defend their freedom to make personal decisions, and advance equality and opportunity for women everywhere. #congresss #womensrights

We were honored to welcome Congressman Jamie Raskin to Remsenburg, where he officially endorsed our campaign and rallied supporters around the fight to flip NY-01. The momentum just keeps growing. It’s time for real representation. #SuffolkCountyNY #NY01 #BlueWave #LongIsland #Congress

A packed house at our Riverhead Town Hall today! Nick LaLota hasn’t hosted a town hall since 2023. Long Islanders deserve better than that. Connecting directly with constituents truly lights me up. #longisland #townhall #congress #politics #election
