The Big Picture
Across the country, Democrats are gaining momentum. Recent elections in New Jersey and Virginia showed that voters are rejecting extremism and chaos.
But here on Long Island, the trend is moving in the opposite direction. Republicans are gaining ground locally, and national GOP operatives see flipping this district as one of their best opportunities to hold the House.
Where Things Stand
- The Only Toss-Up in New York: Nonpartisan analysts at The Cook Political Report continue to rate this district as the state’s only true toss-up.
- Republican Fundraising Advantage: Trump and national Republicans have built a record-shattering war chest. For the first time in years, Democrats are being outraised.
- Relentless GOP Attack Ads: Republican super PACs are already running negative ads in our district, trying to distort Laura’s record and weaken her standing early.
- Rising GOP Strength on Long Island: While Democrats have seen strong results nationally, local Republican gains show this race will be harder than ever to hold.
What's At Stake
If Republicans flip this seat, they’ll have an even stronger grip on the House and a clearer path to push their extreme agenda. But if we hold it, Democrats are one step closer to taking back the House — and exposing the corruption, chaos, and abuses of power that have defined this Republican Congress.
What Laura Needs
We’re building the infrastructure now to win in 2026, but it’s going to take consistent support to stay competitive. The next few months are critical to:
- Fund our field and voter contact programs
- Counter GOP attack ads already running in the district
- Build the early resources needed to compete against national Republican spending

We can’t afford to miss a single fundraising goal when so much is at stake.
Will you chip in today to help Laura defend this seat and keep the path to a Democratic House alive?
