The latest FEC filings provide a revealing snapshot of who is involved in NY-01 politics at the current moment. While Nick LaLota and my primary opponent talk a big game about independence from special interests and loyalty to Suffolk’s working families, I believe NY-01 voters are demanding newfound transparency. The people of NY-01 have a right to know who is financing

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.
