We have liftoff in Upstate New York! So glad (and always grateful) to catch the Adirondack Balloon Festival while the sun set over Queensbury and Glens Falls.

When the canvassing shift and the @buffalo-bills.bsky.social game start at the same time… Let’s go Buffalo!

Sterling and I come from different parts of the country (he’s a former goldfish farmer from Arkansas), but we were raised to believe in the same promise: America isn’t a zero-sum game.

You’ve heard me say it a million times over the last year and a half: You know 5 people who know 5 people who know 5 people… who haven’t voted yet. Tag or text ’em right now and make sure they get to the polls before 9pm.

Grateful for this place and these people. Every day is a chance for us to build something better.

To everyone who stepped forward to join this movement with me: you believed that something better was possible and that belief is not wrong. Thank you.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! I don’t think these two knew they were signing up to knock doors 34 years ago 😅

I’m proud to have @rokhanna.bsky.social on our side. We’re anti-war, anti-Epstein class, and pro-working class. This is our moment to win a new era in NY-21. Join us: DylanHewitt.com

We were robbed of healthcare and hospital funding to send more bombs abroad, and now we’re paying $4.25/gallon in #NY21. I’m the pro-worker, anti-war Democrat running to replace Elise Stefanik. End the war. Tax the rich. Put our families first.

This house party was special because Greenfield is where my dad was principal for over 20 years. He taught me to believe in every person’s potential. If you had Mr. Hewitt, your kids did, or if you know someone who did — then you know that I’ll never be a Congressman who questions your self-worth.

Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
We deserve a leader who actually believes in our self-worth and will fight for our freedom. It’s why I’m running to break up corporate power in Washington and finally take on the monopolies squeezing the North Country.

I’m grateful to have the Saratoga County Young Democrats in this fight with us. We deserve a new generation of leaders who will stop using our tax dollars to fund another forever war and start investing in young working families here at home.

These aren’t just numbers. They’re our family, friends, and neighbors we depend on. When Elise Stefanik voted to gut Medicaid, she knew NY-21 hospitals would be pushed closer to the brink. We shouldn’t lose our care while corporate health systems and insurance companies rake in billions.

Standing room only at today’s meet and greet in Saranac Lake! This is our moment. The momentum is on our side, and we are organizing to win. If you haven’t signed a petition or want to help get signatures, send us a DM (and send to 5 friends to do the same) 📲

3.4 million fewer Canadians crossed into NY last year. I served as a Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade Rep at the White House. I know how much #NY21 depends on Canada. We're the ones who take the hit from bad trade deals while billionaires barely notice. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...

I’m deeply proud to be from South Glens Falls. Every year, our students organize to help #NY21 families pay for healthcare. Tonight they raised over $735,000. This is the place that taught me to organize, and the people who made me who I am. They are why I'm in this race.

The people pushing for this illegal war won’t be the ones fighting it, but they will be the ones profiting from the death and destruction. No war with Iran.

The very top keeps getting richer and keeps getting protected — and we deserve leadership that will end that corruption. It’s why I’m running. Read my profile in NNY360: www.nny360.com/top_stories/...
NNY360 Article entitled: "Getting to know Dylan Hewitt, NY-21 candidate" with a photo of Dylan announcing his campaign for NY-21 in front of his childhood home. The article preview reads: "And Hewitt offers no quarter to the Democratic leadership either; he’s been critical of moves taken by Democratic leaders in the minority in both chambers of Congress, and he told the Times that he won’t commit to electing minority leader Rep. Hakeem S. Jeffries, R-Brooklyn, as Speaker of the House if the Democrats take back the chamber in November’s election.

“We need to go into Congress and have a Democratic Party that is ready to seize the moment, to fight and to govern,” he said. “I don’t see that in this leadership.”"

We should have the chance to stay in the towns we grew up in, and I’m fighting to give us the opportunity to thrive. It's time to lower costs and actually make life affordable.
Graphic reads: "SAFE HOMES. 
SAFE COMMUNITIES. A $25,000 boost to help first-time homebuyers beat Wall Street offers. Ban private equity from buying homes and turning NY-21 neighborhoods into profit machines. Take on corporate speculators who hoard property and keep lots vacant. dylanhewitt.com"

Fighting the monopolies means restoring the freedom they’ve stolen from us. It’s time to end Trump’s tariffs, use fair trade to open markets, and build local supply chains.
Graphic reads: "MORE CHOICE. 
MORE FREEDOM. Break up monopolies that rig grocery, healthcare, and utility prices and squeeze NY-21 families. End cost-raising tariffs that hurt our farmers, undermine union workers, and pass costs onto consumers. Build local supply chains for fair markets and self-relience in rural communities."

Our families deserve a fair shot at success, and I’m fighting to keep their futures strong. Universal childcare. An expanded, monthly Child Tax Credit. No more stealing from healthcare to bankroll ICE.
Graphic reads: "STRONG FAMILIES. STRONG FUTURES. Invest in universal childcare, so parents in NY-21 can raise their kids and work without falling behind.

Families in NY-21 are getting priced out of the communities we all love — all while big corporations make record profits. That’s corruption by design, and I’m running for Congress to end it.
Graphic reads: "Families Are Paying More, 
While Big Corporations Make Record Profits.

Beneath the photo, the caption reads "I’m running for Congress in NY-21 to get money out of politics and back into our families’ pockets. HERE’S HOW WE CAN."

I'm the only candidate in #NY21 who supports Medicare For All and is willing to hold the line against Kristi Noem’s masked agents terrorizing our country. The North Country deserves a leader with a spine — and I’m honored to have the @nywfp.bsky.social’s support in our fight.

I’m proud to be endorsed by @rokhanna.bsky.social, who led the release of the Epstein Files. This is a fight I’ve been in since my days as a campus activist standing up for survivors of sexual violence. And today I joined #NY21 to take on the Epstein Class. It’s time to end the corruption.

My partner Sterling is a goldfish farmer from rural Arkansas who grew up to become a senior advisor to the Vice President of the United States. Today is our 9th Valentine’s Day. He’s as grounded and resilient as the small towns that raised us. And I’m lucky to have him by my side in this fight.

Medicare for All because no one should go without healthcare and no one should ever have to drive 2 hours just to see a doctor.

It’s time to end the cynical politics forcing us to settle for less while the top keeps getting more. I’m ready to fight like hell for #NY21. Here’s what we’re building together ⬇️

Last night, the St. Lawrence county legislature approved an agreement to partner with ICE. Congress already stole our healthcare to fund their illegal raids, and now they’re taking even more from us to terrorize the North Country. When I get to Congress, I will tear ICE down to its studs.

Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
I don’t care if we know each other or not. I’m going to fight for you in Congress.

It is time to impeach Pam Bondi. The latest release of Epstein files is sick and twisted, and the DOJ still refuses to release them all. In college, I would organize against sexual violence and take to the streets for victims. I haven’t changed, so why has Bondi? Why is she protecting pedophiles?
010
Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 25/01/2026
We need to call it what it is: State-sanctioned violence. It’s time our elected officials block funding to ICE, impeach Kristi Noem, prosecute these agents, and tear this down.

Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
Utility bills are spiking because data centers keep expanding. We need a fighter in Congress to stand up to tech billionaires and make sure Massena and the North Country get a fair deal.

As Dr. King reminds us, progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability — it comes when we choose to act with courage and moral clarity.

Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
This weekend, I heard you loud and clear: it’s time to fight. Washington slashed our healthcare to fund ICE — and now five of our hospitals are on the brink of closure. I’m not running to play nice with a corrupt system. I’m running to take it on and win.

Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 13/01/2026
The Department of Homeland Security is proposing a new detention facility in #NY21, and I’ve got one message for Kristi Noem: No ICE in the North Country.

Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
The mic went out in Plattsburgh, but I refuse to stay silent in this moment. Renee Good should be alive and Kristi Noem should be impeached.

Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 07/01/2026
Kristi Noem should resign, and if she doesn’t, then Congress should grow a spine and impeach her.

January 6 was a warning. Democracy only succeeds if we’re willing to take on the powerful and end the corruption that has defined Washington for too long. I’ll do what Elise Stefanik never did — choose the people.

Dylan Hewitt @dylanhewitt.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
There is still no statement from @blakegendebien.bsky.social condemning an illegal regime-change war in Venezuela. I don’t need Washington consultants to tell me when to have a backbone. This is our moment.

2026 belongs to US. Not the big monopolies. Not AIPAC. Not the billionaires. I’m ready to fight like hell. You in?

Elise Stefanik is out, and we have an open seat in #NY21. I’m the only candidate in the race who refuses AIPAC money and has called for an arms embargo on Israel. We have a moral obligation to stop funding a genocide in Gaza. Join us: secure.actblue.com/donate/dylanhewitt

Without Elise Stefanik, let today be the start of building the future we deserve and not a repeat of the same politics under a different name. The days of selling out #NY21 and the cynical politics that tell working families to settle for less ends now.

I'm running for Congress to make billionaires pay their fair share and deliver universal child care for our families. Now, a new Siena poll makes it clear: Upstate New Yorkers are ready to build a fairer, more affordable future, too.
