Americans are good people. We believe in helping our neighbor, and it's time we start elevating the idea of the common good again. To do that, we just need common sense and problem-solving in Congress. We need to focus on what unites us, not what divides us.

This election is a time to step up as citizens, to strengthen our civic backbone, and to do our part to ensure that we're handing our nation to the next generation better than it was when handed to us.

Together, we can build a new kind of politics on the other side of these dark times. Because democracy depends on an assumption of good will among fellow citizens.

Together, we can solve the border crisis, restore the state and local tax deduction, expand the child tax credit, work with law enforcement to get illegal guns and fentanyl off our streets, and we can reclaim the American flag as a symbol that unites our nation because it belongs to every last one of us.

Those are the principles that will guide me if I’m elected to the US Congress. We deserve a government as good as our people.

My opponent, Nick LaLota, does whatever Donald Trump says. He's far too far right for our district and is too busy fighting for special interests instead of hardworking Suffolk County families. He acts like an internet troll rather than a responsible member of Congress.

So in November, help me show Nick LaLota the door. This campaign is picking up momentum by the day, and with about two months left until Election Day, we can’t afford to slow down.

I know we can win this seat, but not without your help. If you’re able, chip in to my campaign today >>

Thank you for fighting the good fight with me.
