Blake Gendebien
is a far left puppet
Bankrolled by extremist donors and run by the same far-left handlers who elected Mamdani. They control everything he says.
Refusing To Debate
Blake Gendebien is scared to defend his extreme record. When challenged to debate by local news outlets and Anthony Constantino, he claimed he was "too busy" for any of the proposed dates.
He won't answer questions on live TV because he knows his far-left platform, his support for Kathy Hochul, and his ties to out-of-state billionaires are indefensible to the people of the North Country — or because his handlers are too scared to let him speak without a script.
Caught On Tape
In a Library of Congress interview, Blake Gendebien exposed his contempt for the very upstate and North Country workers he now wants to represent. He smeared local workers as unreliable drunks with domestic abuse, wage garnishment, custody, child-support, and court problems, saying it was “hard to find one local person” without issues and that three Hispanic employees would have to be replaced by six locals. He admitted he was “not obligated to E-Verify” his workers, discussed bailing one out from Border Patrol for $10,000, and even mocked corrections officers as lacking “self-worth” in their jobs.

Blake Spent Almost a Year
Hiding His Vote for Kamala
Blake Gendebien intentionally dodged questions and refused to tell NY-21 who he voted for in the 2024 presidential election. It was only after a reporter followed up in writing that Gendebien finally came clean about his support for the Far-Left Kamala Harris.
Under Pressure,
He Admitted It.
Gendebien couldn't keep the secret forever. After dodging on live radio, reporters wouldn't let it go. When pressed in writing, his campaign was finally forced to admit the truth: He voted for Kamala Harris.
A candidate who will conceal something as basic as his own vote for President will conceal anything.
Puppet of the far-left
Blake Gendebien is controlled by far left billionaires, socialist handlers who elected Mamdani, and the DNC.
CONTROLLED INTERVIEWS
Gendebien can't even speak for himself. He's entirely managed by his handlers, letting out-of-state consultants hijack his own live interviews.
CONTROLLED SPEECHES
Even on the night he won the primary, handlers forced him to read a pre-written, consultant-approved script.
Out-Of-State Millions
Blake Gendebien doesn't answer to the working class of Upstate and the North Country. Per public records, roughly $1.9 million — about 78–81% — of his federally reported donations come from outside NY-21. His campaign is a manufactured operation funded by elites.

~$750K$326K from Manhattan alone (more than any region of the district). Big money also flows from Brooklyn ($50K) and wealthy Westchester enclaves.
The Graham Platner Playbook
Per public records, Blake Gendebien's campaign runs on the exact same D.C. consultant network behind Graham Platner—the scandal-plagued Democrat facing credible rape allegations and scrutiny over a Nazi SS tattoo.

Dark Money Team
Spruce Street Compliance
Per public records, the exact same compliance firm Gendebien relies on, Spruce Street Compliance, is the treasurer and consultant for radical socialist Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdani's mayoral campaign, overseen by the same team Blake relies on, took in $13,000 in illegal foreign donations from over 170 contributions outside the US.
The Radical Rescue
When Blake's campaign needed a boost, who did he call? Jamie Raskin—a crazy, obsessed Trump hater who tried to impeach him and wants to impeach him now.
This lunatic came to the North Country to prop up Gendebien's campaign and argue for far-left insanity.

Handpicked by
Hochul & Jeffries
Blake Gendebien isn't a moderate. Kathy Hochul admitted on live television that she spent two years working with Hakeem Jeffries to hand-select candidates to flip the House. Their explicit goal? Using Gendebien to install Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker.
FEC records reveal that radical Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries even pumped $5,000 directly into Gendebien's campaign. Gendebien will be a total pawn for Jeffries and vote the party line 100% of the time.
When Gendebien tried to trick voters into thinking he was an independent, Kathy Hochul immediately cracked the whip. According to Politico:
"Democratic House candidate Blake Gendebien pledged in a TV ad this month to stand up to Gov. Kathy Hochul..."
"For that, Gendebien was told that the ad must be pulled and, until then, he would be suspended from the party’s statewide effort..."
He instantly caved. The ad was ripped off the airwaves the very next day.
The Banned Ad
Behind Closed Doors
Blake wants you to believe he’s just some regular guy who wandered into politics. That is a lie.
He is a candidate built by the party, the consultants, and the donors. He funds this campaign with high-dollar fundraisers where the price of admission ranges from hundreds to thousands of dollars. North Country families aren't welcome. Out-of-district donors are.
Pawn For
China
Gendebien refuses to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable.
Gendebien criticizes tough-on-China trade policies. He believes the U.S.-China relationship is "the most important bilateral relationship in the world."
Sold Out to the Chinese Communist Party
Blake Gendebien has sold out to operatives of the Chinese Communist Party. He is accepting money from left-wing donors with direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda operations.
The Chinese Communist Party Donor Connection
The NYC Donor
In 2025, Gendebien received $7,000 from Mark Kingdon, a wealthy NYC philanthropist who runs the Mark and Anla Cheng Kingdon Foundation.
The China Project
Kingdon's wife, Chinese-born investor Anla Cheng, founded The China Project—a media group later exposed by a former employee for being soft on Beijing and instructed to cover up Chinese human rights violations.
Pro-Communist Praise
Cheng, who worked for Chinese private equity funds, even publicly promoted Chinese Communism in 2019 as a system that makes "prosperity more available to everyone."
Gendebien Hired a Communist
Blake Gendebien is running as a moderate, but his campaign staff tells a completely different story.
Calling to "Eradicate Capitalism"
He also hired a communist, Ximena Nieves, who wrote a piece calling to "eradicate capitalism" that was titled "The Unholy Trinity: Racism, Capitalism and Mass Incarceration."
Nieves argues that slavery was never truly abolished and called all police and prison guards racist.
She wrote that "many of the factors contributing to the high incarceration rates of Black and brown communities, including overpolicing [sic], police biases, wrongful convictions, etc., function for the benefit of the prison industrial complex."
"A true enemy of
gun owners' rights."
— National Rifle Association
"A consistent anti-gun candidate who always opposes gun owners' rights and/or actively leads anti-gun legislative efforts, or sponsors anti-gun legislation."
Funding Extremists
Gendebien made several separate contributions to former NY-21 Democrat candidate Tedra Cobb after she was exposed for publicly advocating far-reaching gun bans.
Extreme on Abortion
Blake Gendebien is a pro-abortion extremist with zero restrictions.
Abortion on Demand,
Up to Birth
Despite his attempts to deceive voters into thinking he is a moderate, Gendebien supports radical abortion policies with absolutely zero restrictions. Recordings published by the Daily Wire exposed his true, extreme stance.
