Blake Gendebien for the North Country

06/12/2026

Great debate tonight! Thank you to CBS 6 for hosting and to Stuart for the exchange. For too long, Washington has forgotten about the North Country. Families are hurting, costs are rising, and rural health care is under threat. I’m running to end the dysfunction in DC, fight for real relief on costs, and protect the health care our communities depend on. Honored to make my case tonight and more fired up than ever!

Together, we’re building a winning campaign that stretches across the North Country!

Later this month, voters in U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik's district must choose the candidates who'll vie for her seat in November. The Times Union editorial board weighs in on the primary contests.

WATCH: I don’t need to get in a fight with a bunch of goats. D.C. dysfunction on the other hand… that’s worth fighting.

The best part of running for Congress is traveling across this district and meeting so many wonderful friends and neighbors.

For the past 18 months, we’ve been on this journey together. I’ve listened to your stories, your concerns, and your ideas, and I’ll take them with me to Washington and work to make life better for all the people of NY-21.

Thank you for your support and for being part of this journey. LETS DO THIS!

This campaign is about what makes the North Country special and how we can make it even better — not the same old filthy politics that divide us.
