The region’s identity, economy, and ecology are inseparable from a climate that, until recently, could be counted on. Long winters built the maple sugarbush and the ski slopes. Cold, well-oxygenated water built the brook trout fishery and the loon’s summer chorus. Acidic granite bedrock and humble soils built a forest mosaic that filters the drinking water of millions of downstream New Yorkers. That entire inheritance is now in flux. The science is no longer speculative, the impacts are no longer distant, and the cost of inaction is no longer theoretical.

Across rural regions like Northern New York, where dairy farms dot the hillsides of St. Lawrence, Jefferson, and Franklin counties, and where generations of families have worked the same land, small and mid-sized farm operations are under enormous pressure. Input costs have surged, commodity prices remain volatile, and the stranglehold of large agribusiness corporations over supply chains, processing facilities, and retail markets has made it increasingly difficult for independent farmers to survive. Federal policy has a critical role to play in reversing these trends, and Democratic proposals at the federal level offer a serious, coherent vision for doing so: one that prioritizes the family farmer, rebuilds rural communities, and reins in the unchecked power of corporate agriculture.

That experience taught me to respect guns, not to fear them, and it is part of why I believe so strongly that the rights of law-abiding Americans to own firearms must be protected. I also know that saying what I am about to say in NY-21, a conservative-leaning district where Second Amendment politics run deep, and where the safer move for any candidate is to stay quiet, hedge, or simply echo the loudest voices, is not the politically convenient path.
