Let’s be clear about what this is: a coordinated political hit meant to drive me out of this race. This represents everything that is wrong with our politics today. The establishment clinging to power, mudslinging as a means of skirting accountability at the ballot box. I’m proud of who I am. I won’t be shamed into...

On with The Lead with Jake Tapper on CNN, to talk about voting rights, protecting our right to free and fair elections, and the kitchen table issues I’m talking to voters about every day.

Have you filled up your car lately? 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 every time they fill up. When Congress had the opportunity to rein in this...

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 basic necessities and a devastating toll on those serving aboard. I’ve opposed this war because sending Americans into harm’s way should always be our...

This isn’t 1776, but “no taxation without representation” was a founding principle of this country. Today, working families on Long Island are being asked to pay more while Nick LaLota votes for cuts to Medicaid and food assistance and supports policies that put veterans’ care at risk. That’s not representation....

We were honored to welcome Congressman Jamie Raskin @raskinforcongress to Remsenburg, where he officially endorsed our campaign and rallied supporters around the fight to flip NY-01. One year ago, we launched this campaign with a simple belief: Long Island deserves leadership that shows up, listens, and puts service...

$100 used to fill an entire grocery cart. Today, it barely fills two bags. Long Island families are paying more, and Nick LaLota keeps rubber-stamping policies that make life even more expensive, from a budget that took away healthcare from 63,000 Long Islanders and food assistance to supporting another war with...

For far too long, women’s health has been underfunded, under-researched, and overlooked. I’m grateful to stand alongside Assemblywoman Rebecca Kassay, who has been a leader in New York fighting to increase education and awareness about endometriosis. Her work is helping move this conversation forward, and we need...

Long Island families are already feeling squeezed every time they go to the grocery store, fill up their gas tank, or pay their monthly bills. And when conflict escalates overseas, those costs often go even higher. What’s happening abroad doesn’t stay abroad. It hits our wallets right here at home. I’ve served this...

Thank you, Jake Tapper, for having me on CNN. At the end of the day, my focus is always on Long Islanders. While Washington often gets caught up in distractions, the people I represent are dealing with real challenges right now—rising costs, the struggle to afford everyday essentials, and concerns about a world that...

I wanted to hop on here to talk about a post you may have seen from the president on the war in Iran following the deaths of 4 service members — because we can’t just sweep this under the rug. Turning the deaths of American service members into a talking point is shameful. Every life lost in this war mattered. Their...

Where is Nick LaLota? Silent once again on an issue that directly impacts our community. The proposed AI data center in Yaphank raises serious questions about our water supply, our electric grid, and the future of Long Island’s infrastructure. Before a project of this scale moves forward, our communities deserve...

Nick LaLota is threatening to withhold federal funding unless local communities get in line with his agenda. Let’s be clear. Those are Long Island taxpayer dollars. They belong to our communities, not to one politician. When funding is held back, it puts infrastructure projects and public safety improvements at...

Happy Independence Day and happy 250th anniversary, America! 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate the ideals that bring us together: freedom, opportunity, and the belief that no matter where we come from, we’re all part of the American story. It was the honor of my life to serve this country in uniform, and I hope to continue...
