Grateful to the voters and supporters who made this victory possible. 120+ volunteers knocked 6,000+ doors. 250+ donors contributed $20,000+ (no corporations or developers). To the people of city of PK Ward 8, I'll always fight for you and put Poughkeepsie Over Profit 🌹
Over 700 people showed up in Chester, NY to protest a proposed ICE detention center. We want money for housing, healthcare, and education, not deportation. Abolish ICE!

I rallied with @mhvdsa.bsky.social at Stewart Airport, where the kidnapped President of Venezuela was flown. Trump is trying to steal oil for his billionaire donors and distract people from the Epstein Files. A majority of Americans oppose this illegal war. We want housing and healthcare, not bombs!

Public ownership of our energy utility, Central Hudson, is not an end, it’s the means—to keep rates low, empower workers, and get us a 21st century grid. A new study estimates it would also save us money immediately!
