Donald Trump has officially endorsed Anthony Constantino, making him the official MAGA-puppet candidate! More noise. More politics. More of the same. The North Country deserves better. A leader who understands hard work, community, and what it takes to get through tough seasons. That’s who Blake Gendebien is, someone for the people who will fight back against the partisan noise to get things done for you. Support Blake and help us send a farmer to Congress.

My Republican opponent has spent over $12 million trying to shape the outcome of our race in New York's 21st Congressional District because he knows, and is threatened by, the grassroots movement we've built. I'm Blake Gendebien, a husband, father, and second-generation dairy farmer. I don't have $12 million in the bank to outraise our opponent, but we do have over 80,000 individual donors who, like me, agree it is about time for real leadership for the North Country. A new poll here already s

This election comes down to one simple question: Who should represent the North Country—a dairy farmer who's spent his life working this community, or a millionaire trying to buy a seat in Congress? The latest poll has us just one point behind. That's within reach, but only if we have the resources to keep reaching voters across all 15 counties. Every contribution helps us stay on TV, online, and on the ground. Will you donate today and help us win this race?

The latest poll has this race at 44% Blake Gendebien — 45% Anthony Constantino. A one-point race. That means NY-21 is a toss-up, and we have a real shot at winning this seat. But a close race takes resources. We need to reach voters, run ads, organize volunteers, and make sure our message reaches every corner of this district. We’re close. Now we need to finish the job. Chip in today to help us win NY-21:

Blake Gendebien is a farmer, not a politician. He knows what it is like to get up before the sun and farm seven days a week. Washinton is broken. In D.C., they spend billions on ballrooms, while folks in the North Country just want groceries that don't break the bank. It's time to send a farmer to Washington.

The latest poll has me down 3 points, 44 to 47. I won't sugarcoat it — MAGA Anthony Constantino has a small lead. But with 9% of voters still undecided, this race is far from over. I've spent my life here in the North Country, and I know what it takes to close a gap when the work matters: you don't stop, you keep going. My opponent has millions ready to spend to try and stain my record, I won’t do that. What I can do is ask the people who believe in this campaign to help me get there. Chip i
