# **Meet the Democrat who is running against Elise Stefanik--- and will win**![]()
**Hello, friends in Essex County and NY - 21**![]()
The **Westport Democratic Committee** invites you to meet **Matt Castelli**, who is running for the U.S. Congress. Our event is Tuesday, June 28th from 5:00pm- 7:00pm at the **Westport Yacht Club.**![]()
We are excited to support Matt. He’s running for Congress because he cares deeply about our community and our country. I have every confidence that, if elected, he will represent us well, in place of Elise Stefanik.![]()
Matt spent his life work on protecting our country through assignments in counterterrorism and national security. As a CIA officer, he led intelligence collection and counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Matt’s success at the CIA led to the opportunity to serve as Director for Counterterrorism on President Obama’s National Security Council and he remained in that same role for one year on the NSC under the Trump administration.![]()
After Matt watched domestic terrorists attack the U.S. Capitol and police officers on January 6, 2021, putting our democracy at risk, he decided to run for Congress.![]()
Incumbent Rep. Elise Stefanik and Matt took the same oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. She has clearly violated her oath, and Matt is running against her as he continues to uphold his oath.![]()

**Chuck Schumer is giving long-shot gun safety negotiations a chance.**![]()
**Betting on a 50-50 Senate to cut a deal responding to the massacre of 19 children and two teachers at a Texas elementary school just five months before the midterms is still a long shot. But there’s enough will among Senate Democrats to at least give it a go, rather than force sure-to-fail votes intended to put Republicans on defense.**![]()
