About

Our mission

Every dollar we raise in 2026 goes to one objective: electing a Democrat to New York’s 23rd Congressional seat.

We are not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. We operate independently, under federal rules, and we report every dollar.

How we got here

It’s not that we don’t field fantastic candidates. We absolutely do. But because we live in deeply red, rural New York, we have long struggled to get them elected. As a result, we rarely attract the attention of groups that could catapult our worthy candidates into office. So, we decided to become one. Boom.

Local people ought to—and now can—have a real seat at the table when it comes to choosing—and funding—the Democratic candidates running to represent us.

So we built a dedicated board of directors, opened a bank account and PO Box, registered a federal PAC, and started asking neighbors to chip in. That’s the whole story.

Where we work

Our PAC supports Democratic federal candidates whose districts include Allegany County, NY. That means Congress, US Senate, and President/Vice President. We focus on what we know: door-to-door, fundraising dinners, county fairs, and small-dollar checks in the mail.

Where we’re going

Imagine if every county in NY-23 had its own PAC. Imagine if each county could contribute $5–10K to our shared federal candidates—what a profound difference that would make. We hope to inspire other rural counties to do this work in their own communities.

From the outset, we conceived our PAC to be simple to establish, simple to run, and simple to replicate, while still having an outsized impact on federal races. If you’re thinking this could work where you live, please get in touch!
