Tonight the Democratic primary ended. Now, our campaign begins.

Jim Walden earned a spot on the general election ballot—not with party deals, but with over 24,000 signatures from real New Yorkers.

Independent. Honest. The Real Deal.

I just met with Community Health Centers from Oregon that told me providers across our state are starting layoffs because of Trump's funding freeze. Donald Trump is already forcing kids and families to go without the health care they need.
