The current campaign in New York’s Fourth District is drastically different from the previous one, with Democrats emphasizing a significant increase in resources and coordination. Candidate Gillen has raised $5.7 million, enabling a well-organized ground operation that has already knocked on 100,000 doors. The campaign focuses on key issues like public safety and bipartisan solutions to the border crisis. Gillen's opponent, D’Esposito, faces scandal over unethical hiring practices, reflecting a wider pattern of corruption in the area. With a strong Democratic voter base and the potential swing of independent voters, there is cautious optimism among canvassers that the seat can be won back.
