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 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.
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.
Blake Gendebien is controlled by far left billionaires, socialist handlers who elected Mamdani, and the DNC.
Gendebien can't even speak for himself. He's entirely managed by his handlers, letting out-of-state consultants hijack his own live interviews.
Even on the night he won the primary, handlers forced him to read a pre-written, consultant-approved script.
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 an astroturfed operation funded by elites.
$326K from Manhattan alone (more than any region of the district). Big money also flows from Brooklyn ($50K) and wealthy Westchester enclaves.
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.

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.
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.
Read: Raskin Visits NY-21 (Politico)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 with a TV ad claiming he would "stand up to Kathy Hochul," Kathy Hochul immediately cracked the whip. He was threatened with suspension from the party's coordinated campaign unless he pulled the ad, which he did.
He instantly caved. The ad was ripped off the airwaves, the next day.
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.
Gendebien criticizes tough-on-China trade policies. He believes the U.S.-China relationship is "the most important bilateral relationship in the world."
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.
In 2025, Gendebien received $7,000 from Mark Kingdon, a wealthy NYC philanthropist who runs the Mark and Anla Cheng Kingdon Foundation.
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.
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."
Blake Gendebien is running as a moderate, but his campaign staff tells a completely different story.
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 consistent anti-gun candidate who always opposes gun owners' rights and/or actively leads anti-gun legislative efforts, or sponsors anti-gun legislation."
Gendebien made several separate contributions to former NY-21 Democrat candidate Tedra Cobb after she was exposed for publicly advocating far-reaching gun bans.
Blake Gendebien is a pro-abortion extremist with zero restrictions.
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.
