Party: Independent

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "I’m Kenneth G. Estes Jr. — Ken — a seventh-generation farmer from Caledonia, New York, where my family has worked this land for nearly 200 years. I raise crops, conduct forage research, and breed Lippitt Morgan horses at JoGlenn Farms, on land my grandfather purchased over 70 years ago. Professionally, I serve as an Agricultural Program Manager with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Livingston County, helping farmers navigate real challenges in production, sustainability, and rural resilience. I hold a Master’s in Community and Economic Development from Penn State, with a capstone focused on building sustainable food systems for future generations. I’m running for New York’s 24th Congressional District as an independent — not because politics called me, but because my neighbors did. The people of NY-24 deserve a representative who has actually worked the soil, stretched a budget, worried about healthcare costs, and watched young families leave because housing is out of reach. My campaign is built on four pillars: accessible healthcare, affordable housing, a sustainable food system, and a clean rural environment. My tagline is “Leadership from the Ground Up” — and I mean it literally. This district doesn’t need a career politician. It needs a neighbor who shows up."

---

A Sustainable Food System New York’s 24th District feeds this region — and that responsibility deserves real representation. As a seventh-generation farmer and Cornell Cooperative Extension professional, I know that a sustainable food system isn’t a slogan; it’s soil health, fair markets, farmland protection, and the next generation having a reason to stay on the land. Washington has long treated agriculture as an afterthought. I’ll bring the lived experience of someone who has planted, harvested, and stewarded this land for decades — because the decisions made in Congress directly affect what ends up on your table and whether family farms survive another generation.

---

A Healthy and Sustainable Environment The creeks, forests, and open lands of NY-24 are not just scenery — they are our legacy and our lifeline. I steward a riparian buffer along a creek feeding the Genesee River because I believe conservation is a neighborly act, not a political one. Clean water, healthy soil, and thriving rural landscapes require long-term thinking that transcends election cycles. I’ll fight for environmental policies that protect working farms, rural communities, and the natural systems that have sustained Western New York for generations.

---

Health and Well-Being — Not Sick-Care Our current system doesn’t promote health — it manages illness, often at devastating cost. Rural families in NY-24 are rationing medications, skipping check-ups, and going without mental health support because the system is built for profit, not people. I believe in a health and well-being system rooted in prevention, access, and community — one that meets people where they are, from farm families to small-town main streets. Washington keeps debating who pays for sick care. I want to change what we’re actually building.

Ken Estes (Independent)

A Sustainable Food System

New York’s 24th District feeds this region — and that responsibility deserves real representation. As a seventh-generation farmer and Cornell Cooperative Extension professional, I know that a sustainable food system isn’t a slogan; it’s soil health, fair markets, farmland protection, and the next generation having a reason to stay on the land. Washington has long treated agriculture as an afterthought. I’ll bring the lived experience of someone who has planted, harvested, and stewarded this land for decades — because the decisions made in Congress directly affect what ends up on your table and whether family farms survive another generation.

A Healthy and Sustainable Environment The creeks, forests, and open lands of NY-24 are not just scenery — they are our legacy and our lifeline. I steward a riparian buffer along a creek feeding the Genesee River because I believe conservation is a neighborly act, not a political one. Clean water, healthy soil, and thriving rural landscapes require long-term thinking that transcends election cycles. I’ll fight for environmental policies that protect working farms, rural communities, and the natural systems that have sustained Western New York for generations.

Health and Well-Being — Not Sick-Care

Our current system doesn’t promote health — it manages illness, often at devastating cost. Rural families in NY-24 are rationing medications, skipping check-ups, and going without mental health support because the system is built for profit, not people. I believe in a health and well-being system rooted in prevention, access, and community — one that meets people where they are, from farm families to small-town main streets. Washington keeps debating who pays for sick care. I want to change what we’re actually building.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Ken Estes (Independent)

I’m passionate about the intersection of agriculture, environment, housing and health — because in rural NY-24, these aren’t separate issues. They’re one story.

I believe in a sustainable food system that keeps family farms viable and protects farmland for future generations. I believe in a clean rural environment that safeguards our waterways, soils, and working landscapes. And I believe we must replace our sick-care system with a true health and well-being system — built on prevention and access, not crisis response and profit.

As a seventh-generation farmer, these aren’t policy positions. They’re personal.

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

Ken Estes (Independent)

My grandfather. He didn’t hold office, but he understood something most politicians never learn — that the land and the community are the same thing. You take care of both or you lose both. He purchased the ground I still farm today, more than 70 years ago, and he managed it like someone was coming after him. Someone was — me, and my children after me. That long view is what I want to bring to Congress.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Ken Estes (Independent)

Integrity, accountability, and the willingness to listen before you speak. An elected official holds a public trust — not a platform, not a brand. The most important characteristic is showing up to serve the people who sent you, not the party or the donor. I’d add humility. The moment you think you have all the answers, you’ve stopped representing anyone but yourself.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Ken Estes (Independent)

To show up. To listen. To vote the interests of your constituents — not your caucus. The House was designed to be the people’s chamber, closest to the ground, most responsive to everyday life. That means holding regular office hours in every county of the district, reading what you vote on, and being willing to cross the aisle when the issue demands it. My core responsibility is to NY-24 first, every time.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Ken Estes (Independent)

That I helped NY-24 remember what it’s capable of. This district has rich soil, strong people, and a work ethic that predates the nation itself. My family has been here nearly 200 years. What I want written about my time in Congress is that I protected farmland, expanded access to healthcare in rural communities, and proved that an independent voice could actually get things done without owing anyone anything. Legacy isn’t a monument — it’s the land still in production and the neighbors still holding on.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Ken Estes (Independent)

Farming. I’ve had it my whole life. More formally, I was helping on the family farm before I had a choice in the matter — that’s how it works when you’re seventh-generation. My first paid work off the farm was in agricultural labor through high school. But the farm was always the real job, and it still is. JoGlenn Farms in Caledonia is where I start and end most days. That’s not nostalgia — that’s my life.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Ken Estes (Independent)

Learning to ask for help. Farmers are trained from birth to be self-sufficient, to solve problems with what’s in front of them and not complain. That’s a strength — but it can also be a wall. There have been hard seasons, financially and personally, where I held on longer than I should have before reaching out to neighbors, to family, to community resources. What I’ve learned is that asking for help isn’t weakness — it’s how rural communities were built in the first place. Neighbor helping neighbor. That’s also why I’m running. Too many people in this district are struggling quietly because the systems that should help them feel out of reach or out of touch.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Ken Estes (Independent)

Proximity. Every member represents a district small enough that constituents can show up at your door — and they should. The House was designed to be the most democratically responsive branch of the federal government, with two-year terms that keep representatives accountable to the people, not to long political careers. It’s also the chamber where revenue bills must originate — the power of the purse belongs closest to the people. What makes the House unique is also what makes it fragile: it only works when members actually represent their districts rather than their party leadership. I intend to use that proximity the way it was intended.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Ken Estes (Independent)

The fracturing of shared reality. When neighbors can’t agree on basic facts, governing becomes impossible and trust collapses. That’s the root challenge underneath everything else — healthcare access, food security, housing affordability, rural economic decline. We can solve hard policy problems when people are willing to work together. We can’t solve anything when we’re more invested in winning arguments than fixing problems. I’d add the accelerating consolidation of agricultural land and food systems as an underreported crisis that will affect every American within a decade, whether they farm or not.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Ken Estes (Independent)

Necessary, yes. Always desirable — not always. There are things I won’t compromise on: protecting farmland from development, ensuring rural communities have the same access to healthcare as urban ones, keeping our water clean. But the process of governing a diverse nation requires finding common ground. As an independent, I’m not whipped by a party to vote a certain way. That means I can actually negotiate — I can find the two or three things that matter most to the other side and find a path forward. Compromise isn’t weakness. Refusing to try is.

What was the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember?

Ken Estes (Independent)

The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986. I was a kid, and I remember the stillness in the room when adults who never showed fear showed it. It was the first time I understood that enormous things could go wrong — and that how we respond to failure says more about us than the failure itself. That lesson has stayed with me in farming, in community work, and now in this campaign.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.
