The race for the Democratic nomination for Congress in NY-4 has begun in earnest already. We just had the 6th person announce their campaign to run against the corrupt empty suit known Anthony D’Esposito, who due to a number of factors, is taking up space in Congress representing me: Kevin Thomas, a NY state senator, from Levittown and the first Indian-American to serve in the NY State Senate. Sen Thomas joins a field of candidates that includes last cycles nominee and former TOH Supervisor, Laura Gillen, former Olympic figure skating champion Sarah Hughes, Baldwin Democratic Club member and former candidate for the Nassau County Legislature, Patricia Maher, two time losing Democratic primary candidate for the Rockaway section of Queens, Gian Jones and Some Guy Lawrence Henry.
I will be back to give more information as the race progresses. Feel free to check out the candidates who have websites up already and, if at all interested, donate to help free me from my terrible Congressman who helped add those noxious amendments to the NDAA and votes 95% of the time with the MAGA extremists.
I have included links to websites for candidates who have them below
Laura Gillen
Sarah Hughes
Patricia Maher
Gian Jones
Kevin Thomas
Lawrence Henry
(Full disclosure: While I am not a paid member nor a formal volunteer for Patricia Maher’s campaign, I have attended a couple of her events and provided her with some advice/info that she requested.)

Every time we exercise our rights and responsibilities as citizens, the 'muscle memory' of our citizenship skills grows stronger and more skillful.
