Barry has a record of beating Republican incumbents in the Hudson Valley that is unmatched.
Field Consultant for Citywide and Countywide candidates in the New York City metro-area.
Helped flip gerrymandered State Senate and County Legislative districts in three straight cycles (2017, 2018, and 2019).
Barry managed and was general consultant for the only competitive Democratic County Legislative campaign to win in Westchester in 2015. Despite being outspent, he led his candidate to a 20-point victory in a district that had been decided by just 2% two years prior. He then followed that up by defeating a four-term Republican incumbent in the neighboring district in the next cycle.
Barry led the Get-Out-The-Vote programs for five separate campaigns that won by less by 4% in 2015.
Barry's candidates consistently outperformed other Democrats running in the same area, with his candidates running 8-16% ahead of their running mates in the same municipalities. In one town race in Rockland County, Barry helped convince more than 1/6 of the electorate to split their tickets between a father and son with the same last name.
Barry has earned the ultimate compliment from opposing campaigns: Their publicly expressed hatred. From Carl Paladino to local candidates, Barry's opponents consistently hate facing him, and aren't shy about letting the world know.
