It was a privilege to visit Homeward Bound Adirondacks today and meet the dedicated people working to ensure our North Country veterans receive the support, community, and respect they have earned. We owe every veteran more than our gratitude, we owe them our commitment to never leave them behind.

Dad, Husband, Farmer, Democrat running to replace Congresswoman Stefanik in NY’s 21st District.
I appreciate the Governors statewide moratorium on large data centers today. This pause gives us the opportunity to develop smart policies that support innovation while ensuring taxpayers come first.
I had so much fun at the Washington County History Fair! It was a great opportunity to celebrate the people, stories and events that have shaped our communities. Our district has such a rich history that we can all be proud of. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special.
Meeting with voters and listening to their concerns is one of my favorite parts of this work. I’m committed to representing you with integrity, and I look forward to earning your trust while making a difference in our amazing district.
I had a great time at the Potsdam Summer Festival today meeting with voters and talking about the issues that matter most to our North Country communities. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello
Anthony Constantino posted 4x about my wife’s business last night. So let me set the record straight: 1. I am proud of her successful small business. 2. She didn’t sign up to run for Congress. 3. Character counts and Anthony Constantino doesn’t hold a candle to Carmen Gendebien in that arena.
On the farm, when there’s a problem, we don’t stand around pointing fingers or throwing mud—we work. That’s exactly how I’ll serve you in Congress. To restore the ACA subsidies and protect Medicaid. While my opponent focuses on political games, I’ll stay focused on getting results for my neighbors.
Nearly 3 million fewer people are enrolled in ACA marketplace than last year. That’s not because people don’t need healthcare -it’s because too many simply can’t afford it.
I’m up before the sun — because that’s what it takes. Farming taught me hard work. Washington could use some. Our first ad is out today.
Fourth of July on the farm is always a little bit of madness - family, friends, fireworks, and farm work. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Now it’s back on the campaign trail. Looking forward to connecting with as many voters as possible between now and November 3rd. LETS DO THIS!
Fourth of July weekend has been a family tradition ever since Carmen and I were married. Every year, friends and family come to gather on our farm in rural America to celebrate our nation’s independence and the values that make America strong. Wishing you a safe and Happy Fourth of July weekend!
If you want in your next Congressman more relentless posting, making fun of opponents, and getting into pissing contests with journalists—then Constantino is your guy. If you want someone focused on lowering costs and putting Upstate/North Country first, then I’d be honored to earn your vote.
I started the day mowing the fields and ended it on the phone with voters. Whether I’m on the farm or talking with families, the conversations are the same: people want lower costs, good-paying jobs, and a rep who will fight for them. Together we’ll get Upstate and the North Country back on track.
I’m worried about lowering gas prices and healthcare, Anthony is worried about making a rap album. www.dailygazette.com/the_recorder...

President Trump opening H-2A to dairy farmers is real relief for an industry that’s been hurting. As a dairy farmer, I’ve lived this shortage and this matters. When I’m elected, passing the Farm Workforce Modernization Act will be a top priority. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump allows dairy farms a path for migrant labor, upsetting anti-immigration camp

The soy beans grow one row at a time. Maybe Washington should try solving one problem at a time instead of creating ten new ones
I’m Blake Gendebien — a dairy farmer from Lisbon. Republicans, Democrats, and independents: we all pay the same prices. We’re all feeling the same squeeze, and we’re all tired of Washington’s dysfunction. It’s time for real leadership that puts Upstate NY first. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...
