Trump divided the nation, stoked violence, and threatened the safety & security of every American during his first term. His second starts with more of the same.
It looks as if we couldn’t convince you to run again in NY21 (I have lawn signs saved in my shed just in case)
So if you are not running, I hope you can reach out to Blake Gendebien and give him your stories and advice, from your epic campaign around this huge district. He needs to hit the ground running and your insights would be invaluable. Thanks for all of your work, Matt.
Thanks for a powerful essay, Matt. You’re right, of course. Now is not the time to crawl under the bed and hope it all goes away. Now is the time to fight, rally, march, protest. I echo the sentiments of other subscribers. It would be so wonderful if you would run for CD21.
Hi Matt.. fellow Siena grad.( just a number of decades older) We met at a reunion...A whole bunch of us now living, literally, around the world still have big hearts for New York... You might not be able to now but, as soon as possible, please tell us who you choose to support. I know you would lay out all the reasons for your choice.... The north country and our country need a representative of the people -not a toady to a self serving bully... Thanks..
Lou-if you consider the Outer Banks of North Carolina as North Country I want to see your grades in geography. Just kidding.. And Don't even get me started on the republican jerrymandering and other stuff here in North Carolina.. We are ground zero for their lawlessness...BUT.. Matt impressed the heck out of me when we met.. I wish he'd run again.. AND with the 1st days of trump's insanity, there can be a chance of swinging this district...I'll send $$ to the democratic nominee...
I live in Wichita. My tolerance and disgust with the opportunistic political doublespeak right now? Hard to describe.
Do you have any accumulated leadership strategies that you could share - what gets you through the day? Would love an AMA series and an intimate look into CIA compartmentalization strategies. Is it taught? Is it something you had to develop on your own?
You've provided an excellent analysis but what is needed right now is operational insight. Of course people are flawed, systems should not be.
Thanks for recapping the last terrible week. I agree we have to hold our representatives accountable, I ve emailed ours re: impounding of monies for programs which help ALL Americans, not just Blue states.
Matt, the Democrats need you and other young leaders to replace Senators like Schumer, and all the many older, slower and way too accepting of Trump's policies.
Now is the time for women & men in their late30s & forties to step up and LEAD!!

It would be great to hear that you are running in this special election for district 21!!!

Charles, so good to hear some folks in the north country of NY
support a Democrat.
Any guess on what the overall north support would be for NY21 to go blue?

Dig the insight, I could do without the images of him that are everywhere, not sure what would be a good replacement.

Sooo Matt, where are you when the North Country needs you? You're a “ turncoat”..
