To the Editor:

Anthony Constantino says in his political ads that he will fight corruption when he goes to Washington. The millionaire gifted a $250,000 bronze statue of Donald Trump to Trump. Constantino was currying favor with Trump, so that Trump might help him during the midterms. 

In the profiles of Constantino and Gendebien in North Country This Week(NCTW) of September 18-24, Constantino has spent more than $10 million of his own money on the NY-21 race. I know of no farmer who has $10 million to spend on an election. If a farmer has that kind of money, they must raise chickens that lay golden eggs. Wouldn't Trump and his cronies like to get ahold of those chickens? Yes, Blake Gendebien has donors and must fundraise to stay competitive in this race. Constantino says he only uses his own money for his campaign, but an article in the Watertown Daily Times of July 24, 2026 begins > Anthony Constantino starts fundraising. Elon Musk just gave $276 million to the Republican midterm efforts (MSN, CNN and New York Times). It looks like Constantino and Republican donors are trying to buy the election. 

Anthony Constantino has brought up the $30,000 that Blake Genebien reported to the  Election Commission that he was using to pay rent for part of the family farm as campaign headquarters. What "The Con" Constantino didn't bring up was the $856,000 he paid with campaign funds to his company Sticker Mule for signs, stickers and apparel. One commenter stated no wonder the roadways are littered with his signs every two feet. 

I am an independent voter. Gendebien is not a left-wing radical. He is moderate. Middle of the road. Constantino is a right wing wacko. Vote for Gendebien because he cares about the issues that affect NY--21.
