In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I'm a husband, father of three boys, second-generation dairy farmer, small business owner, and served as Vice Chair of the Cooperative Board of Agri-Mark. I was born and raised on a farm in the North Country and I've been deeply rooted in this community my whole life – as a JV basketball coach, Lisbon Central School Board Member, and founder of a non-profit supporting kids with pediatric cancer and their families.”
“Not enough of the people who are supposed to be representing us in Washington have calluses on their hands or know what it means to put in a real day's work. Out-of-touch politicians on both sides of the aisle spend too much time fighting with each other and jockeying for power. But on the farm, when you're making small square bales of hay, milking cows, or shoveling stalls, you don't ask the person next to you which party they belong to, you just get to work. That's exactly what I'll do.”
“Tonight, Northern New Yorkers made their voices heard, and I am honored and humbled to earn their support. Over the last 18 months, this campaign has traveled to every corner of this district, listening to families, farmers, veterans, workers, seniors, and small business owners who feel like Washington has forgotten them. Together, we built a campaign focused on lowering costs, protecting rural healthcare, securing our border, and delivering real results for the people of the North Country. This election has never been about political parties or the political bosses in Washington and Albany. It's about who will fight for the people who call this district home.”
