14 years of marriage — means 14 years real partnership, real conversations, and real growth.

Who else, but us.

Love you with every bit of my heart. Forever and ever amen. ❤️

Gov. Hochul’s “all-of-the-above” energy plan means more pipelines + more risks for New Yorkers.

I’m fighting for 15GW of renewable power — because our climate goals won’t be met with half-measures. The future is clean energy.

Labor Day is about honoring the workers who built this country and the labor movement that fought for fair wages, safer workplaces & the 40-hour week. That fight isn’t over. I’ll always stand with working people.

We don’t get to delay sea level rise. Or wildfire smoke. Or extreme heat.
But Gov. Hochul wants to delay our climate plan—until after her re-election bid.
I’m in this race to deliver results. Not excuses.

Delaying climate deadlines because of political convenience is a disservice to New Yorkers. We need bold action now—not calculations that protect incumbents over our planet.

Hochul first says we’ll miss our climate goals, and now she is unwilling to stand in the way of Trump’s pipelines. This is not leadership. It is capitulation.

I’m focused on keeping all New Yorkers in New York.

That starts by taxing the ultra-wealthy to lower the prices on basic necessities. All while protecting our immigrant communities against federal immigration raids.

Because for us, it will always be New York or Nowhere.

I am calling on the Governor to convene a special session.

The GOP budget attacks New Yorkers—cutting health care, fueling immigration raids, and rewarding billionaires. We must act now to protect our communities and lead. We can't wait until January.

The Democratic establishment confuses triangulation with leadership and treats stability as a virtue in and of itself. There’s a chasm between what we say and what we deliver. We continue asking voters to show up while we refuse to show up for them.

Every New Yorker deserves care with dignity — and I’ll fight until they have it. Governor Hochul’s PPL program has put thousands of vulnerable lives and caregivers in jeopardy. That’s not leadership. That’s abandonment. We must do better — and we will.

Antonio Delgado @delgadoforny.bsky.social · Jul 24

When government puts profit before people, this is the result: missed paychecks, missing care, and mounting chaos. We need urgent action — and that means ending the state’s contract with PPL and returning to community-based care.

The CDPAP overhaul has been marred by a failure of leadership. The state must return to community-based providers to stabilize the system.

New York ranks dead last in the country in homeownership rates. That’s unacceptable.

As Governor, I’ll support first-time homebuyers by establishing a new statewide down payment assistance program.

Not a secret that New Yorkers are struggling with everyday costs. Life is too expensive, and the system favors the ultra-wealthy. It's time to make the ultra-wealthy, billionaires, and big corporations pay their fair share. No more capitulating to the powerful few. It’s time to fight for the many.

Trump can’t find the courage to release the files of a morally depraved child predator, but all too eager to drag through the mud, a national treasure who literally gave his life for the cause of freedom and equality.

What a weak and sick human being.

In the first six weeks of our campaign, we raised $1.48 million. While my opponent relies on corporate PAC money and special interests, we're powered by everyday New Yorkers.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and continues to support this campaign!

Proud to join the Ukrainian-American community at the Soyuzivka Summer Festival in Ulster County. This is a truly special place with a long and proud history. As Ukraine continues its fight for freedom, today serves as a powerful expression of heritage, hope, and unwavering solidarity.

Every day, New Yorkers live in fear that one ambulance ride or trip to the emergency room could mean financial ruin. It shouldn’t be that way.

As Governor, I’ll fight for universal healthcare so that people can focus on getting well rather than dealing with the bills.

The tragedy in Texas is heartbreaking. Families have lost loved ones, homes, and a sense of safety. Lacey and I are praying for everyone affected—and for the brave first responders and community members showing strength in the face of devastation.
