I’ll be starting off the New Year in West Nyack holding a Town Hall with @emilyjaynef.bsky.social to learn more about the issues that matter most to you! Join us on January 14 from 6pm - 7:30pm to make your voice heard. RSVP for more information.

Millions of Americans started this new year beset by ever-rising prices and thousands of dollars more in their healthcare premiums. They didn’t ask to be dragged into another illegal war of regime change. This is yet another example of Trump using his unchecked power as a distraction.

More of everything in 2026. Happy New Year to all!

Happy Kwanzaa to all who celebrate!

Happy holidays to all my friends in NY-17 and beyond!#betterthanmeatballs

Stop doomscrolling. Sometimes you find positive news on the Internet.

🚨New Poll Alert🚨 This poll confirms exactly what we’ve been hearing across NY-17: Voters want change, and that’s why I’m the leading candidate. Voters want someone who will throw out the antiquated Dem playbook and deliver real results to make the Hudson Valley more affordable Onward to 2026!

Thankful to have the support of so many local and community leaders across NY-17.

Healthcare is not some political pawn. You can't vote to take healthcare and then put on this facade to save face. Mike Lawler and the rest of the GOP's inability to consistently provide for their constituents is causing uncertainty, distrust, and chaos. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u...

Wow Mikey, it took millions of Americans losing healthcare and for premiums to skyrocket for you to finally say something! It is almost like you had the option to vote against this - but oh wait, you didn't! www.politico.com/live-updates...

Trump and I have very different experiences talking to voters…. in NY-17, the affordability crisis is everywhere, not some kind of hoax as the president says. It’s affecting residents, their families, and their futures.

See my statement on Hegseth’s impeachment.

What a great night of Democracy in action! Thank you to all the attendees for your thoughtful questions, and to our moderator Alan Levy for helping to lead a great conversation. Mikey is still looking stiff though!

While I was streaming The Life of a Showgirl and running on a platform for affordability, this is what Mikey was doing 🫣.

Mikey looking a little stiff at my Town Hall last night. Thanks for all who came with questions. And no one was tossed out!

This Wednesday, December 3 I will be holding a Town Hall in Mahopac to continue on my tour around the district talking with constituents and answering their questions when our current Congressman won’t. Event starts at 6pm. RSVP for the address: action.chatzkyforcongress.com/a/peter-chat...

Join me tomorrow in Mt. Pleasant for a Town Hall where Joe Bonanno and I will be answering your most pressing questions! Event starts at 6pm, RSVP for the address here: action.chatzkyforcongress.com/a/peter-chat...

On this #SmallBusinessSaturday, I am grateful for the employees of the small business I have been running for 40 years.

Check out my candi”date” with Kevin McAvey on his Youtube channel now! youtu.be/nU9HkrNzXYs

Went on a candi”date” with Kevin McAvey and talked about everything from campaign finance reform to affordability. Tune in to Kevin’s youtube channel tomorrow to watch the whole video. Kevin, 2nd date soon 👀

My favorite part of the campaign has been meeting so many new people, talking, and learning from all of you. I’m thankful for the memories we’ve made along the way.

My favorite part of the campaign trail is getting out to meet voters, and I had an opportunity to do just that yesterday in Pound Ridge. Thank you to our gracious hosts for hosting a meet and greet, and thank you to all the attendees for giving me the opportunity to do just that.

When you’re feeling frustrated by our Democracy, go spend a night talking to younger people. Last nights discussion with @wyd914.bsky.social was engaging, thoughtful, and, frankly, uplifting.

The battle to restore critical ACA subsidies must continue. Skyrocketing premiums will leave tens of millions of Americas uninsured, and cause even more medical bankruptcies.

The House has finally done the right thing and voted to release the Epstein files. While this was an important vote to bring justice to the survivors, our President should have instructed DOJ to provide full transparency long ago.

Thank you to the Ossining Democratic Committee and the Green Ossining Committee for co-hosting this forum focused on Energy and the Environment.

Putnam County had actively made strides towards flipping seats, and getting more Democratic voters out to the polls. There was a 68% win rate this cycle, with 11 out of 18 candidates winning.

What a great Meet and Greet in Chappaqua! Thank you to everyone who came to engage about how we can make NY-17 more affordable, and how we can work to build a government that works for the people.

What a creative Speed CandiDating event at the Choice Matters Forum! Thank you to Choice Matters Inc. for giving me the chance to talk with voters about the issues that matter most to them!

Some of you may be confused that the Trump Administration is now saying removing tariffs will quickly lower prices for consumers. You may recall Trump originally saying only foreign countries, not Americans, would be paying for these tariffs. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

It’s time for Sen. Schumer to step down from leadership. Caving on healthcare is giving up on Americans.

I am calling on Senator Schumer to step down as Minority Leader of the Senate. To read more, click here. open.substack.com/pub/davidmck...

Delivering food, delivering results.

Once again, the party elites let down the people they represent. Eight Democratic Senators decided to vote to reopen the government without a guarantee that ACA subsidies would be funded. I’m not surprised, but I’m disappointed. We need to return power to the people.

Today I had the privilege to honor many veterans at a pinning service at a local Atria. Each of these gentleman risked the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation and our values. On this Veterans Day, we salute all who served so honorably.

Today is Veterans Day. Today and everyday we honor those who serve our country. Thank you to the veterans across the Hudson Valley for your service.

Democrats cannot cave - not now not ever. We must keep fighting. For 40 days, the Government has been shut down because Republicans like Mike Lawler want to decimate your healthcare. If Democrats give in, then keeping the Government shutdown while people have suffered would have been for nothing.

Last week was another great Abundance Tour event in Putnam Valley. We had an intriguing conversation about different ways the federal government can be a partner in bringing a diversity of housing to our local communities, and what that can look like to create sustainable change.

Thank you to all those that contributed to make our food drive a success. Neighbors helping neighbors. Beautiful.

A massive thank you to everyone who came to our rally for affordability last night and for everyone who brought non-perishables to donate to the Ossining Food Pantry ! While SNAP benefits remaining in question, it is critical that we stand up for our community and take care of our neighbors.

Restore the cuts to SNAP so I can stop pulling my hair out! Thank you to Food & Water Watch, and all of those who attended the protest in Peekskill today.

Tonight, I am hosting a food drive to support members of our community affected by the cuts in SNAP funding. All proceeds go to the Ossining Food Pantry.

This election day we showed how Dems can show up and turn out- let’s keep that momentum going in 2026.

Tomorrow is Election Day! If you have not yet voted, make sure you have a plan to vote! You can find your polling location here at elections.ny.gov. Over the weekend, I had a great time knocking on doors for local Democrats and getting people out to vote!

Canvass and make a new best friend. More importantly, vote. Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. (Good practice for Congressional voting in 2026.)

Another successful Abundance Tour stop! Thank you to everyone for braving the storm and engaging in a thoughtful discussion around housing solutions for every day people, and thank you to Taylor Mandelbaum, Treasurer of the Nyack Housing Authority for joining me!

As Deputy Mayor, I work with my colleagues across the aisle, and have to convince them to see my side from time to time. Usually, I have to work a little harder to persuade them.

Join me this Thursday for my next stop of the Abundance Tour! I will be joined by Treasurer of the Nyack Housing Authority, Taylor Mandelbaum, as we discuss housing needs in Rockland County. To RSVP, click the link here: action.chatzkyforcongress.com/a/new-city-a...
