Aaron Gies for Congress

Professor, small town cheerleader, democracy advocate, candidate for Congress in NY23
Western New York is already facing a serious nursing shortage. Congressman Langworthy supports student loan restrictions that make it harder for future nurses to get the education they need. That means fewer providers in the clinics and hospitals that keep our communities healthy.

Music brings people together. It reminds us to slow down, listen, and find the harmony we can build when we choose connection over division. That is the spirit Aaron brings to this campaign.

Rep. Langworthy finally voted to #releasethefiles What changed? Just his orders. If we want safety and justice, we need a leader with integrity, not a loyal soldier for a party or a leader.

Nick Langworthy earned a 10% rating from the AFL-CIO. One of the worst in Congress. That score reflects a voting record that protects corporations and party insiders, not working families.

At our Friendsgiving event on Saturday, Aaron said what families already know. Neighbors take care of neighbors, and families feel the squeeze every day. You cannot tell people who track every grocery price that everything is fine.

A Choice That Hurts Working Families

Nick Langworthy voted for the CHOICE Arrangement Act, a bill that sounds good on paper but puts working families at risk.
November 17, 2025 at 2:17 PM
Nick Langworthy voted for the Limit, Save, Grow Act. That vote was not about policy. It was about philosophy. He chose cuts to healthcare, education, veterans’ services, and family support programs while protecting tax breaks for the wealthy.

Nick Langworthy’s record doesn’t add up.
In 2023, he voted for the REINS Act. Under the Constitution and existing law, Congress passes laws and federal agencies enact them by making rules assembled by experts and checked by oversight.
November 14, 2025 at 9:15 PM
Nick Langworthy co-sponsored the so-called “Born-Alive” Act. A bill that criminalizes doctors for making complex, heartbreaking medical decisions alongside their patients.
This bill is not about protecting life: Infanticide is already illegal.

When Beef Prices Get Political…

At our Mayville meet and greet, a voter asked if Trump really plans to set meat prices. Aaron’s answer? It’s not about socialism or capitalism. It’s about common sense.

We had a great turnout in Mayville! Folks came not just from Mayville and Westfield, but from Jamestown, Fredonia, and even Hamburg. The energy in the room was incredible.

Public Service Starts with Showing Up.
If you or I missed 4 percent of our workdays, we’d have to answer for it.

Nick Langworthy has missed 62 out of 1,523 roll call votes in Congress - that’s 4.1%, twice the average for Congress. He refuses to hold in-person town halls. He avoids tough questions.

At the heart of my campaign is a simple idea, the Common Good. It's about shared purpose, shared dignity, shared opportunity. Every student in New York 23 deserves access to modern learning, reliable broadband training for the jobs of tomorrow.

As education evolves, our teachers must evolve too. Tech companies, unions, and NY State are investing millions to train K-12 teachers in AI tools and curriculum. It’s a strong start, but we must ensure that all teachers in NY-23 get access, not just those in urban or well-funded districts.

Reliable internet isn’t a luxury. It’s a basic educational need.

Across Upstate New York, too many families still can’t get online. In parts of Western and Northern NY, 1 in 5 households lack broadband. Among low-income families, it’s nearly 1 in 3.

It’s not enough for schools to teach facts - they need to teach skills.

Hudson Valley Community College just broke ground on a $64 million Applied Technology Center to train students in manufacturing, renewable energy, and automotive tech.
November 5, 2025 at 3:22 PM
I believe every student and teacher in NY-23 deserves tools that truly empower them.

When used the right way, AI can help teachers personalize learning and help students master new skills faster, without disrupting the human connection that great teaching depends on.

Rebuilding the Common Good Economy

Getting ready for the day, thinking about what really defines success in WNY.

Because if Wall Street’s thriving but working families can’t keep up with rent, groceries, or gas, that’s not the Common Good.
November 2, 2025 at 12:45 PM
Housing is the backbone of the workforce.

If people can’t afford to live where they work, our communities can’t grow. Affordable housing isn’t a luxury, it’s the foundation of a stable workforce.

How Corporate Monopolies Are Draining Rural New York

When just a few corporations control our markets, small towns pay the price. Family farms lose bargaining power. Local grocers shut their doors. Broadband bills climb while service lags behind.

Corporate Consolidation & Local Power

When corporations swallow local markets, small towns lose jobs, farmers lose fair prices, and consumers lose choices. It’s time to level the playing field.
