Marty's journey to your ballot didn't start in politics, and it doesn't ever include stories of him being a "career politician." Instead, Marty's path to progress began on Main Street as 1 of 9 children of a Latino immigrant. He grew up learning the values of hard work, family, and practicality. Inspired by his father's journey from being the first in the family to earn a college degree and become a doctor, Marty was also determined to change his life. He pushed himself to study Economics and the bankruptcy of NYC. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Union College, a testament to his resilience and determination.

After this, Marty started his career trading penny stocks and highlighting indexes in the pink sheets. Marty found success in this field but didn't see people like him represented on Wall Street, so he decided to change that and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School. For over 30 years, Marty has solved complex problems and represented the United States internationally in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and domestically across the USA—notably the Global Liability Crisis, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the Global Financial Crisis.

Marty knows what it's like to deal with complex problems as a Financial Analyst, father of 3, and grandfather of 2. He is driven by a deep commitment to his community. This commitment has been a guiding force throughout his life. Marty is ready to bring the change we need back into New York 14.
  • A world class district deserves world class representation
  • Practical over Radical
  • Let us not wait another two years for the same result.

The war in Vietnam impacted all of us; I remember because my older brother got a draft number. I was 13.

Our Congressman Peter Peyser eventually came out against the war and changed parties to become a Democrat.

The generation gap was created then; the kids all had long hair and distrusted their leaders. We have to guard against such splits in our society — we are one team.
I was Former United States Representative Peter A. Peyser driver to the airport.
