I’m funding my entire campaign for Congress with my own life savings. No PAC money. No corporate donors. No party bosses. People ask why a local mechanic is taking on a 13-year political incumbent in NY-06. The answer is simple: If I’m not willing to invest in my own community, my family, and our future, how could I ever ask for your sacred vote? I believe in hard work, transparency, individual liberty, and common-sense accountability. I’m accountable to ONE group of people only: the working fam

I'm not a career politician. I'm a small business owner, a husband, a father, and someone who believes hard work should still lead to opportunity. I'm running for Congress because I want to fight for working families, stronger communities, and a brighter future for New York's 6th District. I'd be honored to earn your vote. For the People, By the People. #josephchou #chouforcongress #ny06 #workingfamilies #americanDream #communityfirst

It’s time to get to the root of the problem. 🚗🔧 When a car breaks down, you don't just patch up the surface—you diagnose the real issue and fix it. In government, the root problem is clear: politicians on both sides continue to pass tax shelters and loopholes for the ultra-wealthy, while working families, students, seniors, and veterans are left holding the bill. We don't need multi-billion-dollar tax shelters for elites—we need laws that directly ease the burden on everyday people. From low

When property taxes triple and the cost of living keeps climbing, working families are the ones paying the price. 🏠📉 Back in 1994, I bought my home and paid around $6,500 in property taxes. Today, that same bill has skyrocketed to $17,500—while state and local tax burdens continue to grow under the current leadership. From healthcare mandates to everyday essentials, everyday people are tired of footing the bill for broken policies. We don't need political talking points that ignore reality.
