November is a time when we recognize and celebrate the deep history, culture, and contributions of Native peoples, especially here in Upstate New York, home to the Haudenosaunee Nations whose roots run deep across this land.

This weekend was all about people power. On Saturday, it was great walking with Stephen Cady as we work to get him across the finish line for the Walworth Town Board. Big thanks to Wayne County Chair Scott Comegys for his steady leadership and support out there.

While families across NY-24 are working hard just to put food on the table, Claudia Tenney is busy cozying up to wealthy donors. I’m here at Ontario Tops to remind her, leadership means showing up for the people, not the powerful.

Claudia Tenney had twenty of her own constituents, veterans, teachers, and parents, removed by police when they showed up peacefully at her Canandaigua office to talk about SNAP, the shutdown, and her record. www.fingerlakes1.com/2025/10/30/h...

We Were Removed - But We’re Not Backing Down Today in Canandaigua, neighbors gathered peacefully to make their voices heard. When our leaders turn away from the people they serve, we stand together and hold them accountable. www.tiktok.com/@steve_for_n...

We came together in Canandaigua to demand leadership that puts people first. I am Holden Them Accountable for working families, food security, and the dignity every New Yorker deserves. www.tiktok.com/@steve_for_n... #HoldenForNY24 #UpstateNY #Canandaigua #WorkingFamilies #CommunityAction

Tomorrow, I’ll be outside Claudia Tenney’s Canandaigua office at noon to stand up for the people she’s left behind. Join me as we #HoldenThemAccountable and make sure every family and farmer in NY-24 has a voice.

Another great weekend across NY-24! Friday night, I kicked things off in Schuyler County at their Fall Fundraiser in Watkins Glen. Big thanks to Indivisible Schuyler, Mike, and the Schuyler County Dems for an incredible night!

Trump says Claudia Tenney “fights for the people of NY-24.” But her voting record tells a different story. She voted against rebuilding our roads and bridges, against lowering prescription drug costs, and against care for veterans exposed to burn pits.

Hard to believe we’re just 10 days out from the 2025 General Election. Voter registration ends tomorrow, AND Early Voting begins tomorrow. Every voice matters, and it starts with showing up.

No one should have to beg their member of Congress for basic compassion. The Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act ends the cruel 29-month wait for Medicare and disability coverage for people who are already fighting for their lives.

Yesterday’s canvassing was something special. I had the chance to knock on doors for my good friend Lisa Moore and the great South Bristol team. Lisa and Chris Bennem are like family to me.

Another great weekend across NY-24! From Cayuga to Oswego, Newark to Seneca Falls, and all the way to Canandaigua and Adams - our team was on the move. We met friends old and new, stood with community leaders, and rallied with neighbors who are ready for change.

I appreciate Claudia acknowledging this conversation and calling me the frontrunner in NY-24. But a quiet tweet from a campaign account isn’t moral leadership, it’s political maintenance.

Claudia Tenney needs to speak up. Her friends in the New York Young Republicans are out here saying “I love Hitler” and joking about sending people to gas chambers, and she’s said nothing. Silence isn’t leadership, it’s complicity.

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.

Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

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...

Many will celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day Monday. Find local events in the coming days

Indigenous Peoples Day is typically observed on the second Monday in October, the same day as Columbus Day.

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-...

Tenney worried about impact of shutdown on programs she voted to cut

OSWEGO — Rep. Claudia Tenney is concerned about the “devastating impact” the federal government shutdown is having on New York’s working families, seniors and small businesses.

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.
