Blake Gendebien for U.S. House, District 21

Why we’re supporting Blake

Blake Gendebien is a second-generation dairy farmer from Lisbon, New York, and a local school board member and basketball coach. He is running to protect rural hospitals from Medicaid cuts.

Elise Stefanik's open seat has been Republican for a decade. Trump endorsed Anthony Constantino, who has put $16 million of his own money into the race. An October Siena poll still had Gendebien ahead.
