Democrat Matt Putorti on Monday announced he is challenging House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) in New York's 21st Congressional District.
Putorti, an attorney, announced his bid in a video that touted his roots in Whitehall, N.Y.
"I describe Whitehall as a spaghetti dinner town," Putorti says in the clip. "If somebody loses a job or there's not enough health insurance to provide coverage for a life-threatening illness, the community will throw a spaghetti dinner fundraiser to help that person."
He called Stefanik "a threat to spaghetti dinner towns" and highlighted her stance questioning the validity of the 2020 presidential election results.
