Olean, NY — Aaron Gies, the Democratic candidate for New York’s 23rd Congressional District, has outraised Rep. Nick Langworthy for the second straight reporting period. In the final filing period before the election, Gies raised $94,066.32, compared with $53,220.25 for Langworthy. That’s more than $40,000 more, or nearly 1.8 times Langworthy’s total.
Gies has now outraised the incumbent twice in a row in one of the most rural, most Republican districts in New York. The Quarter 3 filing period marked a significant milestone in New York’s 23rd Congressional District, with Gies raising more in a single reporting period than Langworthy has ever reported raising throughout his lifelong political career.
Voters across Western New York and the Southern Tier are sending a clear message: they want a representative who works for them, not for party bosses in Washington.
“I’ve spent my life teaching that true greatness is serving,” said Aaron Gies. “Nick Langworthy has spent his life in politics, taking care of corporate interests and party insiders. People here have noticed, and they’re putting their money behind someone who’ll answer to them instead. Every person who chipped in to this campaign is making that same bet: that the government can work for people and their communities again.”
Gies, a teacher and nonprofit leader, has built his campaign around making a good life more affordable, strengthening rural communities, and making government more transparent and accountable. He is in the middle of a 100 Town Hall tour in 99 days while Langworthy has yet to hold a single in-person town hall.
The latest fundraising results suggest significant momentum for the Gies campaign as it challenges the incumbent in a district spanning Western New York and the Southern Tier.
