2026 New York General Election

Hi, I’m John
I have proudly called White Plains home my entire life. As a graduate of the White Plains Public Schools, I now have the privilege of raising my family in the same Battle Hill home where I grew up.

About John

Service has always been at the center of my life. I am a volunteer firefighter with Hope Engine Company, a small business owner, a proud CSEA union member, and I work as a CDL mechanic maintaining school buses for the Croton-Harmon School District. Every day, I see the value of hard work, responsibility, and serving others.
