Holden for Congress has been out and about across NY-24 this week! On Tuesday night, Steve was in Schuyler County watching local Democratic candidates in action. Congratulations to everyone who stepped up and showed what real leadership looks like.

What was written in texts exchanged by the leaders of the Young Republicans is sickening and beyond the pale. I will not dignify those hateful words by repeating them, but make no mistake, this is far more than worrisome.

I will be in 4 counties this upcoming Saturday, October 18th! Plan now! I look forward to seeing you! www.facebook.com/share/1BaCpn... #nokings #peacefulprotest #holdenforcongress #steveforny24

As someone who spent over twenty years in uniform, I believe deeply in accountability and the rule of law. Those values don’t change based on who’s being held responsible. @newyorkstateag.bsky.social has done her job with integrity, standing up for what’s right even when it isn’t easy.

It was great to be in Seneca Falls yesterday supporting Jennifer Kuplinski Wick in her race for Town Supervisor. Jennifer has the experience, the integrity, and the heart for public service. www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

It’s been another great weekend across NY-24. Things kicked off Thursday night in Geneva, where I joined a powerful event full of neighbors and friends ready to bring fresh energy and leadership to their city.

Today we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a time to recognize the first peoples of this land, their history, and the generations who continue to shape our communities across New York and the country. www.syracuse.com/native-ameri...

So, let’s try to get this straight… Claudia Tenney voted for Trump’s bill that slashed funding for SNAP, WIC, and Medicaid. Programs that keep families fed, healthy, and on their feet, and now she’s suddenly heartbroken over their “devastating impact”? www.oswegocountynewsnow.com/news/tenney-...

I spent over twenty years in the Army managing billion-dollar budgets and making sure people got paid on time. When you’re responsible for others, you don’t walk away from your post and blame somebody else. You get the job done.

Terrorism must be condemned. So must collective punishment. The path forward cannot be endless war; it must be justice, peace, and the courage to recognize each other’s humanity.

When New Yorkers speak up, we make a difference. After public pressure, the Trump administration reversed course and restored $187 million in counterterrorism funding to New York.

This Thursday night, I’ll be in Geneva at Club 86 for the Rally for Geneva with Jim Cecere and a great lineup of local candidates. shorturl.at/T1LOD

Big weekend ahead, friends! On Saturday, I’ll be in Geneva for the “Where is the Love” Peaceful Protest in the afternoon, then heading to North Dansville in the evening for a Spaghetti Dinner with the local Democratic Committee.

Tonight, I’ll be in Avon with friends and neighbors! Come on out, bring someone along, and be part of the fun! Hope to see you there! www.facebook.com/share/1M1sBA...

The shutdown is hitting veterans and military families hard. LTC Steve Holden explains what VA services are still running, what’s impacted, and where to get help. Our vets deserve better than Washington’s games.

No one in New York should ever have to go to bed hungry. This month, millions of pounds of extra food were delivered to food banks and meal programs across our state. That means more families with food on the table, and less waste piling up.

Our service members deserve leaders who respect them,l give them clear direction, & who will never play politics with their lives. I will always stand with those who put everything on the line for this country. They deserve nothing less.

Donald Trump just bragged that if he doesn’t “like” a general or an admiral, he’ll fire them on the spot. As a veteran who served more than 20 years in the Army, I can tell you this: our military isn’t a reality TV show. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Republicans want to cut the ACA tax credits that help keep healthcare affordable. That means higher costs or lost coverage for thousands of Upstate families. Healthcare isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. I’ll fight to protect it. apnews.com/article/shut...

Another week, another round of heartbreaking headlines about gun violence. Families are grieving, children are afraid to go to school or church, and too many communities are left asking, “When will it end?”

Weekend Recap This past week reminded me of why I am running. Our communities are filled with people who care deeply about each other and our future.

On this Gold Star Mothers’ Day, we honor the mothers and families who have borne the ultimate loss, the life of a child in service to our country. Their strength, their grief, and their resilience are a solemn reminder of the true cost of freedom.

This Saturday, I hope to see you all at the Sodus Harvest Fest! I will be there at 9:00 a.m. & I look forward to seeing my friends in the Town of Sodus Democrats and supporting their candidates, Ellen Zuroski for Sodus Town Council and Pat Hall for Town Council.

Tonight, I’ll be at Friday Night Out with the Seneca County Democratic Committee at Vince’s Park Pavilion.

In Ontario County, the numbers tell the story: we’re short at least 1,500 homes by next year, and another 1,000 by 2030. Right now, 43% of renters are cost-burdened, paying more than 30% of their income just to keep a roof over their heads.

Today is Native American Day, a time to honor the first peoples of this land and recognize the history, culture, and contributions of Native nations.

Last night I attended the Seneca County Meet the Candidates event. It was great to meet everyone and feel the energy as they make the final push toward victory. www.facebook.com/share/p/17Jt...

This past weekend, I had the chance to spend time with the Wyoming County Democrats and the Livingston County Democrats. Both events were filled with good people, great conversations, and strong discussions about the future of our communities and our country.

Another shutdown is on the horizon, and I know firsthand the damage it causes. It’s time for accountability and common sense in Washington. Share this message and let’s fight for real change in NY-24.

Hey friends, I’m looking forward to joining the Seneca Falls Democrats tonight for a great meet & greet. This is what it’s all about. Coming together& hearing from folks like Greg Lazzaro, Jennifer Wick, Lori Gnau, & Gabby Cosentino. www.facebook.com/share/p/17Jt...

Family farms in Upstate are sounding the alarm. Without a stable workforce, they cannot survive. This story out of the Finger Lakes lays it out plain: farms are already operating on razor-thin margins, &now labor shortages are threatening to put milk production & entire farm operations @ risk.

Today, on POW/MIA Remembrance Day, I honor the brave men and women who never made it home. They are gone but never forgotten. To the families, friends, and loved ones still waiting, we stand with you, and we will never stop working until every hero is accounted for. 🇺🇸

This weekend, I’m looking forward to two great Democratic picnics with friends, neighbors, and our State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli. Wyoming County Democratic Picnic Saturday, September 20th at 3 PM Silver Springs Village Cabin, Silver Springs, NY

Today is POW/MIA Recognition Day. We pause to remember the men and women who were taken prisoner in service to our nation, and those who never came home. Their sacrifice, and the uncertainty their families still carry, must never be forgotten.

Yesterday our Field Director, Jamie, attended the @livoniadems.bsky.social meeting. It was great to meet Jeanette Bourcy Livonia Town Council. www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

Folks, I’m looking forward to joining friends & neighbors on Friday, September 26, @ 6 p.m. at Vince’s Park Pavilion in Seneca Falls for the Democratic Dinner. It’s always an honor to gather in a place so deeply rooted in the fight for equality and fairness. www.fingerlakes1.com/2025/09/17/d...

Today is National Voter Registration Day. Our democracy only works when we all take part. Your voice, your vote, and your values matter. If you haven’t registered, or if you’ve moved recently, take a couple of minutes today to check your status and make sure you’re ready to cast your ballot.

Folks, I’ll be darn honest with you. I served my country for over 20 years in the Army, and one thing I learned is that we don’t solve problems with shouting, demonizing, or calling folks names.

Saturday was a powerful day across NY24. I started the morning in Watertown, honoring the memory of 9/11 with our first responders, veterans, and neighbors who came together to remember those we lost and the bravery shown that day. 🇺🇸

It was great to be back with my friends in Wayne County yesterday. My home away from home. A big thank you to my good friend Scott Comegys for pulling off another great event that shows the growth and excitement building here in Wayne.

Tomorrow afternoon I’ll be in Watkins Glen with our friends in Schuyler County. It’s always a good day when neighbors can get together, share a meal, and talk about the future we want to build. www.facebook.com/share/16am62...

Tomorrow I’ll be in Seneca Falls w/ @FLXROAR for a peaceful protest. We’ll stand up for women’s rights & help local kids through the Backpack Program. Bring a friend, your voice, & shelf-stable food or supplies to donate. 136 Fall St | 🕐 1–3 PM www.facebook.com/share/p/19kC...

Tomorrow morning, I’ll be in Watertown to stand with veterans, families, & neighbors at the American Legion Post 61 for their Patriot Day Ceremony. September 11th is a day we will never forget, & it’s an honor to gather with a community that knows sacrifice & service firsthand.

Yesterday reminded us again of how fragile life is. My heart aches for all the families. And today, on 9/11, we remember New York, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania, where ordinary Americans and first responders showed extraordinary courage.

No matter where we stand politically, taking a life is never the answer. My prayers go out to Charlie Kirk's family and friends. We can disagree without turning to violence. That’s not who we are as Americans. We need to do better.

What happened in Cato is disturbing. Reports say that workers who were living and working here legally were sent back to Guatemala. Without a hearing. Without their documents. Without any criminal charges. cnycentral.com/news/local/r...

If Congress fails to act, millions of Americans will see their health insurance premiums go up in January. Working families are already squeezed enough. We can’t let political infighting raise costs even higher. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Yesterday was a great day out knocking doors for Aubrae Lamparella in Farmington! She’s an awesome, dedicated candidate who is going to do great things for her community. www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

🚨 ALERT from Oswego 🚨 I rushed here because what I’m seeing is deeply alarming. @ Border Patrol building in Oswego, agents are being threatening towards peaceful, unarmed protestors. This is not who we are. Peaceful protest is a fundamental right, intimidation has no place in our communities.
