Stop the performative theater; do your job for the people who elected you

To: Rep. LaLota, Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand

From: A constituent in Commack, NY

November 5

Last night’s turnout was not a fluke; it was a message. Voters showed up because they are fed up with theatrics, culture wars, and politicians who treat governing like a reality show; they showed up because their lives are being squeezed by housing instability, healthcare gaps, childcare shortages, and unaffordable basic needs. You were elected to govern; instead, too many have spent months feeding division and grandstanding. That ends where I live; that ends with my family. I am not asking politely anymore. I am demanding action. Here is what your constituents expect immediately: 1. Real housing solutions that reduce evictions and keep families housed; no more soundbites. 2. Practical steps to stabilize healthcare access and speed people back to work. 3. Concrete support for families struggling with childcare and basic living costs. 4. An end to using government channels as political theater; show up, pass pragmatic bills, and fund the services people need. You will not buy silence with slogans; you will earn trust with results. Last night’s votes show people are watching; they are organized; they are ready to hold elected officials accountable at the ballot box. Do your job — or be ready to explain why you chose optics over outcomes. I expect a response outlining the specific steps you will take in the next 30 days; anything less will be read as further proof that you value headlines over humans.
