Dad Husband Farmer Running to replace Congresswoman Stefanik in NY’s 21st District

I am honored to earn the endorsement of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen. Our rail workers keep the North Country and America moving. I’m honored to stand with them as we fight for safer tracks, stronger unions, and good-paying jobs right here at home.

A huge thank you to the Canton Fire Department and Canton’s Church & Community Center for teaming up to stuff a fire truck today on the Village Green to support the Canton’s food pantry. This community always shows up when neighbors need a hand—and today was no exception.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge. BROOKE ROLLINS: Your point is salient. We've got a significant

In less than two months, New Yorkers across the North Country will have to pay a lot more for healthcare. We need Congress to extend ACA subsidies. Unfortunately, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is too busy running for Governor.

Basketball season is here in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA)! Coaching youth and High School basketball has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life — it taught me leadership, patience, and the power of investing in our kids.

Speaking with friends and neighbors about this amazing district is one of the greatest pleasures I have had in my campaign. Together we can finally send one of our own to congress to put the north country first.

Trust in government starts with transparency. I support the full release of the Epstein files because Americans have a right to the truth. Let’s end the secrecy and rebuild faith in our institutions

Today, the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps, we honor all who have served and sacrificed for our nation. I’m especially thinking of my uncle, William Raymond Gendebien, a Marine pilot whose F-4B Phantom II was shot down over Quang Nam in 1965. His courage—and
