Francis Conole

US House New York — 22nd District Democrat
Open Seat2022
Francis Conole has dedicated his life to public service. As a fourth-generation central New Yorker, an Iraq War veteran, and a former policy advisor for the United States Secretary of Defense, he deeply understands the importance of keeping our communities safe. Throughout his career, Conole has developed a proven record of solving problems in the most unique and challenging of circumstances. This fall, he is seeking to bring that record to Congress in order to end America’s gun violence epidemic once and for all. 

While serving our country, Conole trained with assault rifles like the M16 and M4, which helped him realize that weapons designed for the sole purpose of military combat have no place in our communities. In Congress, he will always stand up for lifesaving solutions to our epidemic of gun violence and push back against the corrupt whims of the corporate gun lobby. In particular, he hopes to pass legislation to implement background checks on all gun sales and to direct resources to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention for evidence-based research into the root causes of community violence.

This November, there is so much on the line at the polls—including the fate of the current gun safety majority in the US House of Representatives. New York’s 22nd District is among the best pickup opportunities for gun safety champions this fall, and we need to send Francis Conole to Washington DC to fight for a safer future. With him leading the way, a world free from gun violence may finally be possible for New York children and families.

We are proud to endorse Francis Conole for the US House of Representatives.
