I’m Peter Chatzky, and I’m running for Congress to fight for NY-17. I’ve beat Trump before, and I can help beat him again. #ny17 #chatzkyforcongress #trump #lawler

While Mikey takes away healthcare, I have a plan to provide healthcare for all.

Thank you to the @stonypointdems.bsky.social Committee for having me speak at your committee meeting tonight! Had a great time talking about how we’re gonna take down Lawler in 2026.

Crazy how much “Actually Romantic” on Taylor’s #TSTheLifeofaShowgirl reminds me of a certain member of Congress 👀.

Two great days in NY17! Yesterday, the CSEA Retirees Local 921 held a great BBQ. Today, I was glad to support the Kent Democratic candidates at their Meet the Candidates Event and then finish the day at the Peekskill Rotary Club’s Fall Festival!

Susan and I are a team that cares for our community. We will bring that care to Congress.

Trumps government is on fire, but OBBB lit the match! (My shirt looks like it’s on fire too! 🔥)

What a great way to kick off the Abundance Tour in Peekskill! Thank you to Darren Rigger for joining me, and to all who came to talk about housing issues with us!

This campaign is about the voters, not special interests. If you want to support a candidate who cares about affordability, universal healthcare, more housing options, and more, donate here. Let’s keep the momentum going.

Great meet and greet last night! Thank you to the hosts and to all who came and talked to me about issues affecting our district.

Peter Chatzky for Congress @chatzkyforcongress.bsky.social · 9d

In Congress, I will fight for affordability, promoting more diversity of options to meet housing needs, and universal healthcare so Americans can receive reliable medical care without the growing costs we currently spend covering those who remain uninsured.

I also met a new friend along the way.

What a fun weekend throughout the district. From Croton to Bedford and Ossining to Philipstown, it was great to speak with so many of you on the campaign trail.

Congress needs people who consider all points of view to help inform their own. That’s what I will bring to Congress.

Had a great time speaking at the Kent Democratic Committee meeting alongside my fellow candidates.

On the Local Matters Westchester podcast, I explained that everyone has the right to healthcare.

Peter Chatzky for Congress @chatzkyforcongress.bsky.social · 14d

Lawler continually shows everyone that he’d rather protect his friends in power than advocate for what is right.

Peter Chatzky for Congress @chatzkyforcongress.bsky.social · 15d

I have beliefs, Lawler has none.

Peter Chatzky for Congress @chatzkyforcongress.bsky.social · 15d

Rep. Mike Lawler would rather spend money attacking me than admit why he voted to rip away healthcare from his own district. (Hint: Kneeling to Trump.)

He is already in full panic mode, more than a year before the election.
