Dylan Hewitt is a 7th-generation Upstate New Yorker, born and raised in NY-21. He’s running for Congress because everyone deserves to live with dignity and have the freedom to thrive.
This fight is personal to Dylan. His grandfather was taken in by an aunt during the Great Depression when his single mother couldn’t raise him, and his neighbors fed him through their back window. After serving in World War II, he used the GI Bill for an education, a pathway to homeownership, and a middle-class life. That wasn't just the American dream, it was the American guarantee: when we show up for each other, working families get ahead.
Elise Stefanik has let that America slip away. She sits by while reckless tariffs drive up costs for our families, farmers, and small businesses. She even brags about casting the deciding vote to gut Medicaid, risking the closure of 5 hospitals and leaving our seniors and veterans with 114 miles of no care. The bottom line is that Elise Stefanik sold us out just to make billionaires richer—and we're paying the price.
Dylan Hewitt is part of a new generation of leadership that won't back down. He served as Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade Representative, where he helped bring manufacturing jobs back home, protect American workers, hold greedy corporations accountable, and strengthen our national security. At just 17, he ran the South High Marathon Dance, a NY-21 tradition that has raised millions so our neighbors can afford health care.
Now, Dylan is ready to make life actually affordable with living wages, universal child care, and Medicare for All. Join him today to defeat Elise Stefanik and build a stronger, safer, and fairer future for all of us.
