This Saturday, I will be joining the Pickens County Democrats as their keynote speaker at their 2026 County Convention.
I am looking forward to discussing how the promise of America can still ring true for all, especially during this 250th celebration of the birth of our country.

Only 1 way to get on the ballot in NYS and that is by petitioning. As the county executive says, if someone comes to your door asking for you to sign petitions for candidates please do so.

[Mark Poloncarz @markpoloncarz]

I'm out this sunny Sunday carrying petitions to get myself and other Democrats on the ballot.
In NY you can only get on the ballot through petitioning. If someone comes to your door asking for you to sign for candidates, please sign their petitions.
This is how democracy works!

Today, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's attempt to impose tariffs without Congressional approval was illegal.

This is a victory for our constitutional system, as well as you and I because we were paying for the increased costs of these illegal tariffs.

Wishing all of our members and friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Trump and Congressional Republicans didn’t just fail to fix healthcare - they made it worse.

They gutted funding for hospitals and pushed the biggest healthcare cuts in history to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Now Western New York is seeing clinics close, jobs vanish, and care disappear because of their failed policies.

This is what happens when Republicans choose politics over people. I’m fighting to reverse these cuts and make sure every Western New Yorker gets the care they deserve.

We are proud to have endorsed John Davis and Jack Kavanaugh for Amherst Town Board. They will do a great job by supporting smart development and protecting services.

They each are featured in this article on town races.

Congratulations to my friend Denise Abbott on her election as the next President of the @WNYALF!

Denise is a fierce, proven champion for working people, and I’m excited to keep standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her to deliver for WNY’s working families.

I also want to extend my gratitude to Peter DeJesus for his incredible leadership, partnership, and unwavering solidarity. Your impact on our labor movement will be felt for generations.

Let’s keep organizing, building, and winning — together.

You always knew President Trump and Elon Musk would breakup, but today's nastiness is at the level of an extremely angry couple going through a bitter divorce using their kids as pawns.

It's not funny, just sad the presidency, and our nation, has come to this.
