Chris Gallant

Let me introduce myself: My name is Chris Gallant, and I'm running for Congress to represent NY-01. I'm a veteran, a volunteer firefighter, and a union rep ready to make a real difference for Long Island. Learn more about my campaign here: gallantny.com

Honored to be welcomed back by @AndersonCooper360 to discuss the tragic LGA crash. My thoughts are with the families affected. We cannot allow these failures to continue. I will fight in Congress to fix the serious issues facing our air traffic control system, from staffing shortages to outdated infrastructure, so this never happens again. #TeamGallant #NY1 #GallantForCongress

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the crash at LaGuardia. I joined @andersoncooper360 last night to discuss what we know so far. Incidents like this are a reminder of how much responsibility our air traffic controllers carry every day, often under significant strain. Safety has to remain the priority.

"This is kind of symptomatic of an aviation system that's really bursting at the seams": CNN's Pete Muntean and former air traffic controller Chris Gallant give insight into the runway collision at LaGuardia airport.

I’ll be on Anderson Cooper 360 tonight to discuss the deadly and tragic crash at LaGuardia Airport. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the pilots who lost their lives yesterday. We must ensure a full investigation and take every necessary step to prevent tragedies like this from happening again.

Thank you Joe and Liz for hosting a fantastic meet & greet at their beautiful home. Every conversation, every handshake, every new supporter brings us one step closer to real representation for Long Island. We’re just getting started. #TeamGallant #NY1 #GallantForCongress

@new_poli This, exactly.

Something is happening in Texas. In a state everyone wrote off, James Talarico built a coalition nobody saw coming. That's the power of servant leadership.

@luvbeinginmy50s @Andie425 @HouseDemocrats @RepLaLota @RepTomSuozzi @RepJeffries Thank you!

Grateful to have the support of New Democracy. I’m running to make Long Island more affordable, protect healthcare, and restore accountability in Washington—and this endorsement is another step forward. Let’s keep building. 🇺🇸 newdemocracy.net/media/new-demo…

What’s happening in our government isn’t working—and Long Island is being ignored. I’m running to change that. Real leadership. Real accountability. Real results. Let’s fix this. #TeamGallant #NY1 #GallantForCongress

We're excited to announce our endorsement of Chris Gallant for New York's 1st Congressional District! As a military pilot, union leader, and dedicated public servant, Chris is uniquely qualified to flip this district from red to blue.

Petitions ✔️ Conversations ✔️ Momentum building ✔️ Let’s get it done. 💪🇺🇸 #TeamGallant #NY1 #GallantForCongress

“Chris Gallant is uniquely qualified candidate to be the next representative for NY-01. He is a military pilot, union leader, and public servant. This upcoming election is critical for Democrats to win, and Chris represents the best chance for Democrats to flip a district that has been held by Republicans since 2015,” said Colin Mortimer, Director of New Democracy.

I stand with the Jewish community - from New York to across the nation and globe.

Out knocking doors and collecting petition signatures in Quogue today. Great meeting so many residents and hearing their concerns. The energy and excitement across the community is real. People are ready for leadership that shows up, listens, and gets the work done. One conversation at a time, we’re building momentum. 💪 #TeamGallant #NY1 #GallantForCongress

I'm honored to receive Steve Englebright's endorsement. His respected history in environmental and community service makes his support meaningful. This endorsement affirms our shared values, inspiring me to pursue positive change. “For decades, I’ve fought to protect Long Island’s environment — from our drinking water and wetlands to our coastline and open space. Chris Gallant understands that safeguarding our environment isn’t an abstract issue; it’s about protecting our health, our economy, and our communities. His service and professional experience are tied to his dedication and clear vision for Long Island’s future. I’m proud to support Chris because Long Island needs a representative who will fight in Washington for our environment.” #TeamGallant #NY1 #GallantForCongress

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the New York Working Families Party. Families across Suffolk County are being squeezed by rising costs, high property taxes, and an economy that too often leaves working people behind. We need leadership that actually delivers — making Long Island more affordable, protecting healthcare, expanding childcare, and standing up for the rights and dignity of all New Yorkers. Together, we can build a future where working families in NY-01 can afford to live, work, and raise a family right here at home. #NY01 #LongIsland #WorkingFamilies

Kristi Noem, fired.

I served two combat tours in Iraq. I’ve seen what happens when a lying, chicken-hawk President beats the war drums. I ran for Congress and serve on the Armed Services Committee because I refuse to let the country I love repeat those mistakes. It’s why we passed the War Powers Act (after Vietnam) in the first place.  So that before the President sends our troops into harm’s way, he has to make his case TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Trump hasn’t done that. He hasn’t explained his goals.  He hasn't told you what it will cost – both in our tax dollars and (God forbid) our kids coming home in flag-draped coffins.   That’s why I cosponsored Congressman Khanna and Congressman Massie’s War Powers Resolution. And why I’m calling for a vote IMMEDIATELY.  To force an honest conversation as a country about what comes next. To stop yet another forever war. We cannot repeat our approach from 2001 and 2002.  The answer cannot be “we’ll figure it out as we go.” I lost too many friends because of that logic. As I said after the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites last June: Air strikes may start a war. They rarely end it.
