Photos were released of me from a homophobic hit piece published by allies of my opponent in the New York Post yesterday. I’m not ashamed of my past. These pictures don’t change the fact that we have momentum in this race and right-wing special interests are desperate to do anything to stop us. So, here’s the truth: do I think these pictures have the slightest bearing on the cost of living for New Yorkers or our absentee Congressman? Absolutely not. Will you please rush a donation today to de

Now, we are clear of the noise and have a famous data scientist confirming what we’ve been seeing on the ground for months:

I’m gay and had to hide who I was by law. I am Democrat Chris Gallant, and when I turned 17 I immediately joined the New York Army National Guard. But until Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell ended, I couldn’t be open about who I was, even as I served our country. I was deployed multiple times to Kuwait and flew several missions overseas, protected our airspace as an FAA air traffic controller, and currently work as a volunteer firefighter in my community. Those experiences taught me how to lead under pre

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
