Orange County Democratic Legislator Stephen Hunter's bill to cap the gas tax and provide desperately-needed relief to residents is scheduled for a vote in Goshen on Tuesday at 3:30pm. Your voice matters! Come out to speak at the hearing & support this law! wjffradio.org/orange-county-…

Quick story below about Hudson Valley Republicans' "#palmbeachchic" "#sixstar" "#luxuryliving" "#ultramaga" recruit for #NY18. GOP clearly as serious about governing as ever.
The subtext of this: no Republican with a solid local profile wanted to waste a year running against rising Democratic star Pat Ryan. Behold the sacrificial lamb:

After 2 days of silence + hundreds of angry messages from civilians that @OCSheriffNY is SUPPOSED to protect and serve, the PBA shuts down comments on its bizarre post encouraging people to skip the Puerto Rican performer for an "All American" halftime show. Anything @SNeuhausOC?

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist. Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard. We can and must stop this.

Yesterday the Democratic led Rules Committee in the Orange County Legislature advanced a resolution opposing ICE facilities in Orange County… Over Republican objections to “all that political and humanity stuff”

Republican Tom Faggione demanded to delete any condemnation of “inadequate treatment, lack of medical care, and inhumane treatment of detainees” in ICE facilities… Democrats fought back hard to take a tough stand, and won. A refreshing result of our new leadership.

By “met briefly” he means “stopped for a photo op in the hallway”… Meanwhile, he hasn’t called or acknowledged the new Democratic chairwoman of the legislature and caucus leader who were elected 16 days ago! They’re waiting, Steve.
Met briefly with two of Orange County’s newly elected legislators today. Welcome and good luck to Virginia Scott (District 12) and DeShanda Carter (District 11). I look forward to working with you! #steveneuhaus #orangecountyny #leadership

All across Orange County were running working class Democratic candidates who are taking on the benign neglect and rampant corruption of the local Republican machine. With stunts like this we need more help than ever. Click the link below to chip in! secure.actblue.com/donate/or…

This is one of the busiest municipal courts in NYS, crime has increased year over year under Republican leadership, and the other sitting town justice literally said the backlog is already out of hand. These cowards claim fiscal responsibility, in reality they’re undermining public safety to prevent the possibility that a Democrat could flip a long held Republican seat. It’s already happening y’all, and not just in Washington. Here’s the first part of my public comment, after the council members debated, but before the vote ⬇️

Republicans are literally canceling local elections—yes, even in New York. Residents of Wallkill got 5 hours notice that the town board was eliminating the town justice position that’s on the ballot this November. One of our strongest Dem candidates was just days from filing her petitions to run. Here’s what I said after the vote ⬇️

Our party is member driven, made stronger by working class leaders with different skills and perspectives. Joining your committee is the most effective way to turn your anger into action, bring attention to critical issues, and build local power one victory at a time.

With 178 local elections on the ballot in Orange County this November, we need all hands on deck—that starts with our local Democratic committees. Grateful to Senator Skoufis for supercharging the @OCNYDemocrats effort to grow our party and compete everywhere.
🧵 Here in Orange County, only 357 of 670 town Democratic committee seats are filled. Today, I’m paying for a texting and digital campaign with this video to fill every single one of them. Nationally, hundreds of thousands of committee seats are vacant…

The @OCNYDemocrats strive to be a truly member driven local committee that competes everywhere, leveraging the talents of our nearly 400 members (and counting). Even though we’re just a small part of this massive Democratic Party ecosystem, we’re excited to do our part to support this exciting new chapter of the DNC under the leadership of Ken Martin.

With Ken at the helm of the Democratic Party, I am extremely confident that we are ready to meet this challenging moment. We must expand our map, our once big Democratic tent, and our bench of candidates—just like he’s done in Minnesota.

It has been a pleasure to get to know @kenmartin73 over the last few weeks. As a young party leader, I look up to Ken. He has a remarkable record of grassroots organizing, coalition building, brass tax party leadership, and VICTORY. The @DNC is in great hands.
Democrats need to ask ourselves each day: which side are we on? I'm on the side of the American working family. Not the robber baron. Not the oil and gas executives. Not the union busters.

No credible “data nerd” can look at an over performance of this scale and blame the Kiryas Joel bloc vote. @JamesSkoufis would have won comfortably without their support. He’s kept himself around by out running the top of the ticket in every community—every cycle.
As a data nerd, believe me, I think it's cool that bloc-voting communities like Kiryas Joel exist. But does this guy know that the only two states where these communities exist are in New York and New Jersey?

To no one’s surprise @JamesSkoufis is in the trenches supporting candidates in tough races like tomorrow’s Virginia special elections. You can expect a lot more of that with him in charge of the #DNC. I’ve seen him fight shoulder to shoulder local candidates in NY—and win!
As someone who knows a few things about winning tough elections in both houses of my state legislature, my eyes are on Virginia tomorrow for the first real test of Democratic strength since the November election. Electing @Kannanforva and @jacktrammell to the State Senate, and @SinghforVA to the House of Delegates is critical to maintaining our Democratic majorities with a Republican as Governor and MAGA control in Washington. I’m taking some time before tonight’s DNC candidate forums to make absentee chase calls into to these crucial races - join me using the links below! If you don’t have time to spare, you can also make a last minute contribution to help these candidates over the finish line. kannanforvirginia.com jjsingh.com trammellforsenateva10.com

The DNC needs wholesale reform. No more tinkering around the edges. No more DC consultants lighting $ on fire. This is how I believe we can transform the DNC into an organization that competes everywhere, wins races, and rebuilds our once-big tent: skoufisfordnc.com/platform
