Blakeman is the Donald Trump of Long Island - and he is running with the President's blessing to bring thedeeply unpopular, cost-raising MAGA agenda to Albany. As Donald Trump says, Blakeman is 'MAGA all the way' - and that is why he will never be governor of New York."

But Republicans leave Washington without fixing health care crisis they created
Hardworking Americans are begging the Republican-controlled Congress to address rising health care costs and inflation in the new year, a new AP-NORC poll finds.
The latest polling comes as Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson called it quits on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits and failed to bring up a substantivepiece of legislation that lowers the high cost of living.
In 2024, vulnerable House Republicans campaigned on lowering costs - but failed to take action during the first year of the 119th Congress. In April, after the first 100 days of the Trump administration, the DCCC made clear that we would hold vulnerable House Republicans accountable for failing to make good on their promise.
Even worse for House Republicans, additional polling released this week from PBS/NPR/Marist shows that more Americans say Democrats would do a better job handling the economy and NBC News polling showing a majority of Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans to address rising health care costs.
DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
"Americans were promised lower costs on day one and House Republicans broke that promise. Instead, Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home for recess without fixing the health care crisis they created and delivering on their core promise to lower the high cost of living. The American people are ready to reject the GOP's failed agenda and eager to power House Democrats to the majority next year."

DCCC calls out vulnerable Rep. Rob Bresnahan ahead of the holidays for unleashing a health care crisis on Northeastern Pennsylvania
The DCCC this week launched a new billboard campaign holding vulnerable Congressman Rob Bresnahan accountable for unleashing a health care crisis on hardworking Pennsylvanians ahead of the holiday season.
Bresnahan cast a key vote for the so-called"Big Beautiful Bill" which included the largest cut to Medicaid in American history to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires. Hospitals, nursing homes, and community-based health clinics are at-risk of shutting down thanks to these cuts, with some already announcing their closure.
And Bresnahan has failed to prevent skyrocketing health care costs after he voted for a cost-spiking Republican health care 'plan' that fails to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits before they expire on December 31st.
Worse yet, Bresnahan has traded health care related stocks and bonds even as he votes to rip away health care from his own constituents.
See the billboard below:
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin :
"Rob Bresnahan has unleashed a health care crisis on Northeastern Pennsylvania. Thanks to Bresnahan, hardworking Pennsylvania families are facing higher prices and reduced access to care - all while he plays the stock market. The DCCC will hold Bresnahan accountable for acting like the grinch and hurting NEPA."
