It’s primary day

John, It’s primary Election Day here in the North Country. The polls are officially open. For months, our team has worked hard to prepare for this moment because we know what comes next. By the end of today: 📍 We'll know who our Republican opponent will be. 📍 The general election matc…

Join us this Thursday!

John,It's Blake Gendebien. With the primary election just hours away, things are moving fast—but I never want to lose sight of why I’m in this fight: it’s for you. That's why my team is planning a special virtual briefing on the State of Agriculture this Thursday, June 25th, at 6:30 PM ET. …

a surge is coming

John, A surge is coming Tomorrow's primary election isn't the finish line. It's the starting gun. The moment voters cast their ballots, national organizations, political operatives, and outside groups will begin paying even closer attention to NY-21. Can you rush a $15 contribution befor…

This Father's Day I just want to say…

John, Of all the responsibilities I have held, being a father is by far the most meaningful. Raising my children has taught me that one of the most important things we can provide them is to lead by example. Carmen and I have dedicated ourselves every day to raising our boys into men of character,…

We hate to talk numbers

John, $10,000,000. That’s how much Anthony Constantino has already taken from his own money to invest into his campaign. This is not counting the millions that are soon to come from special interest groups after Donald Trump officially endorsed him. $1. That’s the contribution we're asking …

Songs, lawsuits, and drama.

John, We honestly don't know where to start. Over the last few months, Republican voters in NY-21 have watched their candidates: ☑️ Launch attack websites against each other. ☑️ Trade personal insults in debates. ☑️ Threaten lawsuits. ☑️ Fight over endorsements. ☑️ Release MULTI…

3 reasons to win this seat

John, As this race heats up, I keep coming back to three simple reasons why we must win this race: 1. Control of the House could come down to races like ours. If we are going to restore balance in Washington, we need to win districts like NY-21. 2. Donald Trump's hand-picked candidate won't…

The primaries will change everything

John, The next 6 days are about more than just the primary. Our campaign is about to take a major shift; more attention, more outside influences, and challenges are coming our way. So my team launched the Primary effort fund to help us prepare for the days and weeks we have ahead. We only h…

Thank you.

John, I’ve said it time and again, but every day I am reminded of how grateful I am to you. You have demonstrated the true spirit of this team by believing in something greater than ourselves, even during months when fundraising was expected to decline. I cherish that more than you know, te…

It’s about to get real

John, Our opponents have shown time and again that they don't give a flea's sneeze about the people of the North Country. But I will, because this is my home. I made a promise to continue showing up for my community regardless of when and where, but I’m heading into one of the toughest battles…

Anthony Constantino is NOT the candidate for you

Here are 3 reasons why you should elect Anybody But Constantino to represent you in Congress. Anybody more focused on churning out AI-generated songs for Donald Trump than on the actual needs of our community has shown exactly where their priorities lie—and it isn't with you. Buying influence…

Within single digits of victory

Herbert, Our latest polling shows Blake within a single-digit margin against his Republican opponent. That's not an accident. While the GOP candidates continue fighting with each other, trading attacks, and chasing headlines, we're focused on what matters: meeting voters and talking about t…

While Blake is on the road…

Herbert, It's Carmen. A lot of people know Blake as a farmer. More and more people are getting to know him as a candidate for Congress. But I know him as the person who worries about whether everyone around him is doing okay. Whether it's helping on the farm, showing up for neighbors, or sp…

I’m honored to receive this endorsement

We’re launching our Primary Effort Fund

Herbert, The countdown is officially on. We are now just 14 days away from the primary election here in NY-21. After that, we’ll know our GOP opponent, and the outside money will start pouring in. This race is only going to get louder. More ads. More political attacks. More outside influenc…

A farmer who works vs. politicians who perform.

What are your priorities?

Hi Herbert, it’s Blake Gendebien. I didn’t start this campaign for any personal glory; I did it for my community. Everyone here in the North Country deserves a leader in Washington who will fight to make life a little better and a whole lot cheaper for our families. So, as we head into the primari…

Winning the House depends on us

Herbert, I know it’s the weekend, but this was too important to wait. Ours is becoming one of the most watched races in the country, and both sides know it. So we are asking our top supporters to extend a donation of $15 today to help us stay competitive against the wave of outside money and p…

This time of the year is important

The GOP and their petty politics

Tomorrow's deadline

Herbert, $10. That’s all we’re asking for today, and we’ll explain why: $10 will help us go up against MAGA candidate Anthony Constantino and his massive self-funded war chest, in what’s shaping up to be one of the most important battleground races in the country. $10 will help us elect Blake G…
