Professor, small town cheerleader, democracy advocate, candidate for Congress in NY23
In many rural parts of NY-23, families drive long distances to reach a full grocery store. That is a barrier for seniors, families with one car, and anyone on a tight budget.

Too much of what we grow in Western New York skips our own tables. Letās change that. When schools, food pantries, and hospitals buy from local farms, it keeps money in our towns and fresh food in our homes. š½š

Rep. Langworthy refuses to take climate change seriously. He ignores the risks while our communities pay the price. I will fight for smart, resilient infrastructure, clean energy jobs, and federal support that protects families and farmers before disaster strikes, not just after.

US Involvement in Israel's war with Iran is concerning, BUT: Trump was just protested by over 11 million Americans. The Senate version of the budget bill has even deeper Medicaid cuts--an existential threat to rural healthcare. He's throwing a fit to sidetrack us. We must defeat the OBBBA.

No. Political violence and threats are never acceptable. We should be clear: we will fight Rep. Langworthy with activism and through the ballot box, but he and his family, like all Americans, have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

There is one (1) acceptable response to political violence: āI condemn these acts of violence, which have no place in a democratic society. The perpetrator should face swift, impartial justice and be punished as their crimes deserve.ā Nothing about this is a joke or a chance to score points.

I've heard perspectives like this one from friends and family. Deporting good people who are following the rules is the POLICY of Trump's DHS. Arresting the refugees your church is sacrificing to help is how they get their numbers up. To stop it, we need to flip Congress.
