In their own words
What Cappello's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Cappello's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “Housing: Increase Supply, Lower Costs, Build Real Wealth”
- “Health Care Should Not Lead to Bankruptcy”
- “Education and Apprenticeships That Lead to Good-Paying Jobs”
- “Fix Our Broken Immigration System”
- “End Harmful Tariffs and Support Small Business Owners”
- “I want to serve every member of the Hudson Valley community”
Quoted from cappelloforcongress.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.
Record in office
Cappello has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.
That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
