"When I ran for Congress, I did it because I believe our community deserves a representative who tells the truth and fights hard to rebuild the middle of our politics and the middle of our economy. That belief will never change and it’s why I’m supporting Chris Gallant for Congress. Chris has the integrity and commitment to public service that NY-01 needs. He’s the kind of leader who can help Democrats take back the House, stand up to Donald Trump, and deliver real results for Long Island families."
John Avlon
2024 Democratic nominee for Congress
"Both the future of our democracy and the middle class are at stake in 2026. Our incumbent Congressman has been missing in action on these critical issues. He has been nothing more than a rubber stamp for the Trump Administration. Chris Gallant has a proven record of service to our nation and our community. I am voting for Chris Gallant because he will be the voice we need to put the working Long Islanders first."
Fred Thiele
Former New York State Assemblyman
"Chris Gallant is a working-class leader with a proven record of service to our community — from flying missions as a military helicopter pilot to protecting our neighbors as a volunteer firefighter. Unlike our current congressman, Chris shows up, listens, and is genuinely comfortable engaging with regular folks on the issues that matter most to families across NY-01."
Greg Doroski
Suffolk Co. Legislature District 1
"As the first openly gay man elected to the Southampton Town Trustees, I know firsthand the challenges and the immense value that comes with bringing a new, essential perspective to the table. Like me, Chris has a long history of public service — Chris as an Army National Guardsman, volunteer firefighter and union leader, me as a volunteer EMT and community activist. Chris and I are also proud gay men willing and able to fight for equality, justice and inclusion. Chris has demonstrated a deep commitment to the issues that matter most to our district: protecting our environment, strengthening our local economy, and ensuring everyone has a fair shot at success.
Chris Gallant will be a fierce, effective, and inclusive voice for us in Congress."
Jimmy Mack
Southampton Town Trustee
"Chris Gallant is a principled, forward-thinking American who understands the plight of working families and will fight for our Suffolk County values we hold dear. His integrity, commitment to service as a helicopter pilot for our military, and his unwavering belief in the values that make America the shining star of the world make him the right choice for Congress.”
