Boy, Bill Weber is getting desperate to run away from his vote against the Responsible Data Center Development Act of June 2026. He's trying to blur the distinction between us by whining that I'm responsible for positions taken by my friend and supporter Andy Stewart when he was Orangetown Supervisor -- 15 years ago, and 10 years before I got into public office! He actually put out a press release about it! To be clear: 1. I'm in favor of sensible protections against data center impacts on our community. 2. Bill voted against them. 3. Bill is running against me, not Andy. He should just own his pro-center data position. He took a vote. Defend it. Like, maybe in one of the debates he's ducking

Weber is trying to distract from his abysmal fundraising with a fake partisan poll from 2 months ago. If that poll was so strong, release the whole thing! And let's debate! Red Flags in the Weber "Poll" -- Joe with Joe October 5, 2026 youtu.be/Qe1cY8GCUPA?si=fz1h… via @YouTube

Bill Weber’s claims that I must adopt every single policy position of every group or union that endorsed me. I don’t. He’s just projecting his own slavish obedience to his donors and endorsers onto me. If he thinks he right, though, there’s a simple solution — debate me!

I hope you liked Bill Weber’s recent mailer, because YOU paid for it. Yes, Senator Weber is using taxpayer money to send out “senatorial” mail — a month before the election. This is technically legal, but it’s an abuse of the process. Weber should pay for his own mailings.

Public disclosure Fundraising numbers are in for the months of July, August, and September, and they show that we clearly have the enthusiasm and momentum in this race — the Rand campaign raised 3x as much money from 9x as many in district donors as the Weber campaign.

For those of you still debating the “girls in the tunnels” issue — I had and still have zero tolerance for cretins who turned the issue into an opportunity for hate speech. Here’s a Facebook post from a week ago.
