Families across the Hudson Valley are being crushed by the cost of living. People can\u2019t afford their rent, their mortgage, or their property taxes. They can\u2019t afford their utility bills. They can\u2019t afford groceries. Working people are doing everything right, but the deck is stacked against us.<\/p>\n<p>I know what it\u2019s like to live paycheck to paycheck, and I know how to un-rig the system and rebuild it so it works for us. That\u2019s why I\u2019m running for State Senate in the Mid-Hudson Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, my opponent isn\u2019t just backed by big money\u2014he\u2019s part of a political dynasty that\u2019s been pulling the strings in New York for years, taking from the least of us to help out his greedy friends. I&#8217;m sick of it and I know you are too.<\/p>\n<p>The government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people\u2014and this campaign is about putting power back in the hands of working people like you and me. Together, we can overcome the elites who\u2019ve been looking out for each other at our expense for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Every dollar we raise builds the grassroots campaign we need to win. Chip in today to be part of this fight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13161\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/officeofcommunityengagedlearning\/files\/2025\/11\/unnamed-2025-11-10T093853.231.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/officeofcommunityengagedlearning\/files\/2025\/11\/unnamed-2025-11-10T093853.231.png 1920w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/officeofcommunityengagedlearning\/files\/2025\/11\/unnamed-2025-11-10T093853.231-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/officeofcommunityengagedlearning\/files\/2025\/11\/unnamed-2025-11-10T093853.231-1024x684.png 1024w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/officeofcommunityengagedlearning\/files\/2025\/11\/unnamed-2025-11-10T093853.231-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/officeofcommunityengagedlearning\/files\/2025\/11\/unnamed-2025-11-10T093853.231-1536x1026.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evan Menist &#8211; Never Bought, Never Bossed.
