I wanted to take a moment to both thank everyone and acknowledge all the work that still lies ahead. I am deeply honored and humbled to be your nominee, and will work tirelessly to bring back true representation for the people. #NY19

We launched our campaign more than a year ago, focusing on bringing opportunity back to our region, which means fighting for universal health care, funding our public schools, and creating good-paying jobs through public works infrastructure + transitioning to a green economy.

The contrast with Rep. Faso could not be more clear. He voted to take away our health care and defund Planned Parenthood, rolled back environmental protections, has said nothing of funding our public schools, and refuses to meet with his constituents in an open and public forum.

The fact is, our Congressman is carrying the bag for outside interests and has displayed no interest in providing a vision for the place we all call home. We deserve better.

My wife, Lacey, and I made the decision together to run this race because the crisis we are living through is deeper than a political one — it is a moral one.
