Over the last two months, I’ve had the honor of speaking with voters across #NY17 about their concerns and sharing my vision for the future. Each conversation has energized me for the days still to come and the difference we will make together when we flip this seat!

On the 10th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, I'm deeply aware that my marriage and so many others, made possible only by years of courageous advocacy, were recognized across the country by just a one-vote margin on the Supreme Court. Change is always possible - but it never happens on its own.

Three years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Mike Lawler cheered. He’s since voted to jail doctors who provide abortion care and to strip abortion rights from women in New York. In Congress, I’ll proudly vote to restore every woman’s right to choose.

Happy Juneteenth! On this day 160 years ago, the last slaves in Texas learned of their emancipation. Today we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the continued fight for equality and justice for all.

Shutting down the national suicide prevention hotline for LGBTQ+ youth is a shameful decision. It's the latest devastating example of the Trump Administration's indifference to whether vulnerable Americans live or die.

This past week has been a grave reminder of the threat I witnessed over three years living and working in Israel. We can never allow the Iranian regime to obtain a nuclear weapon. I stand firmly with the Israeli people as they defend themselves from ongoing attacks.

Praying for the families of Representative Hortman and Senator Hoffman on this horrific and tragic day. My thoughts are with the people of Minnesota. Political violence has no place in this country and we must all come together, regardless of party, to stop this madness. We are better than this.

Today marks the ninth anniversary of the deadliest attack on our LGBTQ+ community in U.S. history. At the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, we lost 49 lives far too soon. Today, we honor their memory, grieve with their families, and commit to fighting hate against LGBTQ+ Americans. 🏳️‍🌈

Don't let Mike Lawler pull one over on you. First, he voted to jail doctors and nurses for doing their jobs. Now, he's trying to force New York to restrict abortion. He needs to go.

Today in @jewishinsider.com: John Sullivan "brings unique pro-Israel bona fides to the race [...] From 2017-2020, Sullivan was the top FBI intelligence official living and working in Israel, liaising with the Israeli government on counterterrorism operations.”

I was in Mahopac this evening outside the Mike Lawler town hall to stand with concerned Putnam County citizens working to hold Lawler accountable for continually voting to hurt Hudson Valley families.

As a cancer survivor who knows personally that good health coverage saves lives, protecting Medicaid is very important to me. That means standing up against Mike Lawler's budget cuts and paperwork penalties that put more than 200,000 Medicaid enrollees in our district at risk.

#PrideMonth is about love, acceptance, and self-worth. It is also about resistance. With new attacks on LGBTQ+ Americans, we must recommit to our fight and stand together. We must never stop working to build an America where love is celebrated, diversity is embraced, and all are safe.

Mike Lawler is "flat-out lying" about his vote to cut Medicaid and kick more than 30,000 people in #NY17 off their health coverage.

After 17 years in the FBI taking on terrorists, drug traffickers, and Jan. 6 insurrectionists, running for Congress wasn’t on my bingo card. But seeing Trump’s cuts and chaos firsthand, hurting American families like mine and making us less safe, I had to speak up and fight back.

Mike Lawler voted for this. Now his GOP teammates admit they know it will kill people.

The Trump Administration has already appealed a judge's tariff ruling so that YOU have to pay higher prices. Still waiting on Mike Lawler to "intervene" and put a stop to this nonsense. lawler.house.gov/news/documen...

First it was insurrectionists, now it's reality stars, a corrupt sheriff, and a megadonor's fraudster son. With Trump, it's always pay to play - not law and order.

My family & I joined the community to honor our fallen heroes by attending events commemorating Memorial Day across #NY17 Memorial Day is observed on a single day each year, but it’s our duty to honor and remember those who sacrificed their lives for our nation and freedom every day.

Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Mike Lawler promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid and when the time to vote, he sided with Donald Trump — not the Hudson Valley. The people in New York’s 17th deserve better.

MAGA Mike Lawler showed us again why he not only earned the endorsement of Trump, but why Elon Musk shelled out $1.7M for him last year. This tax bill will throw nearly 1 million off of Medicaid in New York State, all in order to give massive tax breaks to his billionaire buddies #NY17

Antisemitism has no place in America. I condemn this heinous attack. I'm glad to see the FBI and other LE agencies responding to the scene. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

There he goes again - MAGA Mike is selling out his constituents to give billionaires a tax break. Hudson Valley voters shouldn't lose their healthcare and food assistance so Mike's wealthy friends get richer.

This is why I left the FBI. When I say Donald Trump is making our communities less safe, this is what I mean. And unlike Mike Lawler, I'll call him out on it, every time.

This is what happens when you let Trump and his billionaire donors break the rules to make themselves richer. I’ve been fighting corruption my whole career, and that’s exactly what I’ll do in Congress.

Mike Lawler has earned the endorsement of Donald Trump by putting his loyalty to MAGA ahead of his own constituents. Trump’s endorsement makes it clear that Lawler is not the moderate he claims to be. NY-17 needs a leader who puts country over party. That’s why I am running to defeat him.

Mike Lawler isn't fit to lead. Removing constituents by force for asking questions isn’t who we are as a country. Democracy demands dissent, and I applaud those willing to speak out.

When I decided to run, I could not have imagined such an outpouring of support. We raised $200k from more than 4,000 donors in the first 48 hours! This campaign is powered by you, and I can’t thank you enough for your donations! This is what it takes to flip NY-17!

I earned this challenge coin tracking Hamas and Hezbollah in Israel. But, I’m not surprised to see J6 sympathizers, like Benny Johnson, attacking my service from the safety of his living room.

For 17 years, I served in secret, protecting us from threats like Russia, foreign terrorists and drug cartels, and eventually the insurrectionists who stormed our Capitol. Now, I’m stepping out of the shadows to run for Congress.

Participating in the January 6th investigations is one of my proudest moments in the FBI. With a single stroke of the pen Donald Trump turned his back on the nation and erased years of work seeking justice. substack.com/home/post/p-...
