The Voter Protection Project announces support for farmer Blake Gendebien in anticipation of Elise Stefanik stepping down in New York’s 21st Congressional District
SACRAMENTO, CA – The Voter Protection Project (VPP), the nation’s largest PAC dedicated to electing voting rights champions and holding Republicans accountable for their attacks on democracy directly at the ballot box, is endorsing Blake Gendebien for Congress in New York’s 21st District ahead of the anticipated special election.
“North Country voters have a great opportunity to elect someone who will actually fight for them instead of playing politics in Congress with this upcoming special election in NY-21,” said Heather Grevenworth, Executive Director of The Voter Protection Project. “The Voter Protection Project is proudly endorsing Blake Gendebien because he is deeply committed to protecting and preserving the right to vote.”
“I’m honored to have the support of the Voter Protection Project. Voting is the foundation of our country, and I’m committed to ensuring that the North Country is heard. I’ll fight every day to protect the right to vote so people can shape their future and the future of our country,” said Blake Gendebien, candidate for New York’s 21st Congressional District.
Last cycle VPP supported 30+ voting rights champions including newly elected Senator Ruben Gallego (AZ), Senator Elissa Slotkin (MI), Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08), Congresswoman Janelle Bynum (OR-05), and Congressman Josh Riley (NY-19). Without a Democratic majority in Congress, Trump and his MAGA extremists will continue their relentless assault on democracy, chipping away at our most fundamental rights. That’s why VPP is laser-focused on identifying and electing fearless leaders like Blake Gendebien who will put Democrats back in control—ensuring every American’s sacred right to vote is protected, expanded, and never threatened.
