Here are the poll results Nick Langworthy doesn’t want you to see: his numbers have fallen off a cliff since 2024, and so have President Trump’s. Trump has prices spinning out of control. Langworthy has supported his tariffs, grift, giveaways and wars. Voters are going to hold him accountable.

In February, a Chautauqua Co farmer paid $21,000 to fill the diesel tank that powers his farm. Last week, filling the same tank cost him $56,000. Farmers are already squeezed by tariffs and other pressures. We need to stop the war with Iran and bring down fuel prices. www.wkbw.com/chautauqua-c...

Chautauqua County farmers are feeling the brunt of rising fuel costs ahead of harvest
Farmers like Chad Schofield paid $23,000 to fill the diesel tank fueling his farm in February. Last week, it cost him $56,000 to do the same thing. And with the harvest underway, it won't be the last.

🚨🚨🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨🚨🚨 The Sierra Club has endorsed me and my fight against the data centers raising your utility bill. Let’s build an economy that gives people jobs and energy without taking their health! I’m proud to have the Sierra Club’s support. Common good over corporate profits—always.

I’m so grateful to be endorsed by Catholics Vote Common Good. The politics of resentment and division hurts everyone. When we treat our neighbors the way we want to be treated, we. all. win.

At Olean's 9/11 event this morning, remembering the courage, compassion and humility shown on that day. Telling these stories honors that sacrifice. I'm grateful to all who risk their lives to defend our freedom. May we each act with courage, compassion and humility to protect and serve others.

Water is life. Our water faces two big threats from Nick Langworthy and Bruce Blakeman: DATA CENTERS pollute waterways with diesel and chemicals. FRACKING could poison our water table. I’ll work to drive down utility bills--without poisoning the well.

When I ran into Congressman Langworthy, I asked a simple question: Can we have more debates? The people of NY-23 deserve opportunities to hear directly from both candidates, ask questions, compare ideas, and make their own decisions. If you agree, share this poster!

Aaron Gies for Congress @aarongies.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
We've got one debate. Why push for four more? 1. Voters deserve to see us in person and ask their questions directly. 2. People from all over the district deserve the opportunity to come to a debate. Would you like to see Nick Langworthy and I debate with an audience who could ask questions?

My Primary opponent called me MAGA. Nick Langworthy calls me a Commie. Those lies expose a truth: they can't imagine a politics based on treating other people the way you want to be treated. I'm for the Common Good. We can do so much better.

My opponent is Big Mad at Canada today because of wildfire smoke. The Canadians are our neighbors, not our enemies. We have a common problem. It’s not Canada; it’s climate change. It’s time to stop the bluster and finger-pointing and work together to solve it.

NY State has become the first-in-the nation to pause new data center construction statewide! Rural New York is our home. We will not allow it to become a dumping ground for polluting infrastructure pushed on us by billionaires.

Data center noise is not just annoying. It actually prevents people and animals from sleeping. I’m calling on Gov. Hochul to sign the NY data center moratorium NOW! We need sane standards to protect WNY communities.

Thanks to Mary and Bryan at Erba Verde Farms in East Aurora for showing me around their cutting-edge operation! Beef, pork, chicken AND dairy. I got some of each, plus some jam!😋 To save family farms, we need a Representative in Congress who will listen to small farmers, not just DC lobbyists.

What's it take for FOX NEWS to call you "far-left"? Support for small business? Farmers? Public schools? Investing in rural infrastructure? Or is it fighting to stop them from shutting down our hospitals? So extreme! 🤣

Rep. Langworthy enables Trump, but wants credit for backing housing reform that can’t pass because of Trump’s insane demands. We need actual reforms, not posturing.

Happy Father's Day! When I was ten, I loved model trains. My Dad would come home after a hard day of hanging wallpaper or pounding nails and work on a train layout with me in our sweltering attic. I'm striving to be that kind of Dad -- that kind of person -- every day.

It's National Dairy Month. Dairy farms are as much a fixture of WNY life as Bills football. Family farms urgently need relief from tariffs, fuel prices, labor shortages and corporate consolidation. I'll support policies that help us lower costs and invest in each other. That's the common good.

We are full steam ahead to June 23rd! Early voting is less than a week away and we’re traveling all over the district talking with voters. We have several more events coming up before the primary! Please vote. Please tell your friends to vote. If they haven’t met me, invite them to an event.

What's the common good? Every family deserves a doctor. A good life should be affordable. Corruption is bipartisan: we need new laws to stop it. I'm running for YOU. Washington has enough lawyers and executives. Early voting starts June 13 and Election Day is June 23rd. Don't forget to vote!
