2 priorities from ellmanforcongress.com, in the order they are listed there. Every heading and the text under it is copied exactly, as one passage for each page it is from, and links to that place on the page; hover a source to see which passage it opens.
Alissa is a working-class mom who knows firsthand how expensive it is to raise a family in the district. She is running to make it more affordable for families to live, work, and build a future here.
- Expanding access to affordable childcare so parents don’t have to choose between earning a living and caring for their children.
- Supporting small businesses
- Investing in home repair programs
- Expanding the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to help create and preserve affordable housing.
While Claudia Tenney is sitting at her lake house and taking donations from billionaires, most New Yorkers are struggling to make ends meet. Alissa will take calls from her constituents, not from billionaires.

Alissa grew up in rural Houghton, NY, a hamlet of fewer than 2,000 people. She understands firsthand how inadequate infrastructure can limit opportunity and access in rural communities.
- Alissa will fight for funding to expand bus networks, connecting even our most far-flung communities to hospitals, trade schools, colleges, and community centers.
- She will also work alongside local communities to secure federal funding to modernize water systems, repair aging infrastructure, and make the investments rural communities need to thrive.
Claudia Tenney continues to slash the funding we need to fix our communities. Alissa knows how important it is to fund our communities well into the future.

In Aghanistan, Alissa served alongside people from every walk of life and learned that respect isn’t something you reserve for people who look, live, or believe like you do. She believes every American deserves to live with dignity and without discrimination.
Alissa has long supported LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and equal rights for all Americans. She believes there is room in this country for everyone who wants to call it home.
On these issues, Claudia Tenney’s record is very different. Tenney voted against the final Respect for Marriage Act, which established federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages, and she has consistently supported legislation restricting abortion. Tenney has said her vote against the marriage legislation was based on concerns about religious-liberty protections.

Alissa knows that the only defense against organized greed is organized labor. In order to secure a living wage for all Americans, we must strongly and loudly support our unions. Alissa believes in passing the PRO Act to protect workers who are organizing a union, to end right to work laws, and to prevent abuses of the “independent contractor” loophole that disenfranchises thousands of workers across the district.
NY-24 was built by our unions. We owe it to them to fight for them like they fought for us.

Alissa is running a grassroots campaign for the people who can’t afford a yacht or an equestrian class in Europe. She’s tired of watching politicians take enormous sums from the ultra-wealthy while working people struggle to get ahead.
Her focus is on the rest of us: the road crews working past midnight, the people putting in long days at the office, small business owners fighting to keep their doors open, and everyone working hard just to make ends meet.
For Alissa, public service means exactly that: service. She believes in serving her country, showing up for her community, and putting people before personal ambition. She’s not in this for herself. She’s in it to serve all of us.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 8 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

| Written instead of an employer · 244 contributions · 70% of ranked | $58,101 |

A further $3,424 came from donors whose answer names no employer (None, blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($184,174) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $229 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $268,168
