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 the cost of living keeps rising 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 her donors 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 a White House Trade Official, where he protected American workers with fair trade deals, stood up to corporate greed and reckless tariffs, and strengthened our national security against China. He began his career in public service at just 17, when he led the South High Marathon Dance, a NY-21 tradition that has raised millions for families to afford healthcare.
Now, Dylan is ready to make life actually affordable with living wages, universal healthcare, and a fair shot at success. Join him today to defeat Elise Stefanik and build the future we deserve.
