Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

Tonight, Mike Lawler tried to erase the harm he’s caused the Hudson Valley by voting with Trump 100% of the time and looking out for his corporate and billionaire backers at the expense of working families. You deserve better. You deserve a patriot, not a puppet.

At more than $5 billion and counting, the cost of Operation Epic Fury so far could cover SNAP benefits for more than 2 million Americans. But instead of feeding hungry people at home, we're cutting food stamps in order to lower taxes for the rich and boost military spending to record levels.
