DEBATE RECAP: Anthony D’Esposito Can’t Answer to His Blatant Corruption

During tonight's debate in New York's Fourth Congressional District, Anthony D'Esposito defended his blatant corruption that's harming Nassau County families at every turn.

Don't believe us? Here's just a couple of the many examples.

  1. D'Esposito denied putting his fiancée's daughter and the woman he was having an affair with on his congressional payroll - a potential violation of multiple House ethics rules - despite a groundbreaking report in The New York Times.

  1. D'Esposito defended his party-line vote to put a Confederate monument back at Arlington Cemetery - despite representing a significant Black population.

  1. D'Esposito doubled down on abortion rights being a state's right - despite admitting he'd support a national abortion ban and voting multiple times to federally restrict reproductive freedom.

  1. D'Esposito claimed to have worked to secure the border - despite having a non-existent record on immigration reform and refusing to support the bipartisan deal negotiated by the Senate, per Donald Trump's orders.

  1. D'Esposito tried to claim that he's not partisan - despite putting his far-right party leaders and Donald Trump ahead of Nassau County families.

Meanwhile, NY-04 Democratic nominee Laura Gillen underscored her plans to protect reproductive rights, secure the border, and stand up for all families across Nassau County.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
"Anthony D'Esposito once again proved he's abused every position of power he's ever held and pushed an extreme agenda while Nassau County families' pocketbooks and priorities have paid the price."
