Tony D'Arrigo

Where D'Arrigo stands

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My Name is Tony D'Arrigo. My main focus is to Aide and assist my constituents to reach a level in which we deserve. The Many Industries of my Focus are as follows; Healthcare, Energy, Auto Industry, Affordable Housing, Healthier foods, the constitution, tax code, banking industry, education, entitlement programs, and infrastructure to name a few. We need to make the American Dream attainable, once again. Many of the bills that have been passed in the last 4-6 years have been only focused to help the top percentage of citizens. They have single handedly erased the middle class. We need to re-establish the middle class, and then Uplift the lower classes to higher levels.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to Bernie Sanders. I respect Bernie because he’s been saying the same thing for decades: government should work for working people, not billionaires and big corporations. He’s been consistently fighting for Medicare for All, protecting Social Security and Medicare, raising wages, and taking on predatory corporate behavior long before those ideas were popular. What I’d like to model from his example is: His moral clarity on economic justice and healthcare as a right. His willingness to stand up to both parties when they forget working families. His refusal to be bought by corporate money or lobbyists. Like Bernie, I want to be a representative who never forgets where I came from, who I work for, and who I’m fighting for.

What is an accomplishment that you are proud of?

I’m proud that I’ve been able to keep building and helping others even while battling cancer and living paycheck to paycheck. Despite health scares, financial strain, and all the reasons to give up or play it safe, I’ve stayed in the fight—working in hospitality, helping build businesses, and now stepping up to run for Congress. For me, the accomplishment isn’t a title or an award; it’s that I didn’t let hardship turn me bitter or silent. Instead, I turned those experiences into a mission: to fix the systems that fail people like me—on healthcare, lending, housing, and basic economic security—and to speak up for folks who don’t have the time or energy to fight the government and their bills at the same time.
