The window to obtain signatures on my nominating petition opens April 14.

Please check back for a printable copy to help me secure my spot on the ballot in the general election on November 3rd.

Thank you for your support!

To add you signature to help support me get on the general election ballot in November, I will be all over Long Island from April 14 to May 19, and will announce where I will be in advance.

But since I can’t be everywhere at once, you can download a copy of my Nominating Petition below and help me obtain the needed signatures by printing out the form.

To be of the most help, please keep the following technical rules in mind:

  • You can be a witness for my nominating petition if you can ask other registered votes in NY-1 to sign and show support.

    • Each line should have a NY-1 voter’s signature, residential address and town where they reside, not the hamlet.

    • Towns to list include Huntington, Smithtown, Riverhead, Southold, Southampton, East Hampton, Shelter Island, and Brookhaven.

  • Please make sure you add your signature as well, but you cannot be a witness to your own signature.

  • New York election law requires black or blue ink only.

  • If you are a witness please complete the Witness Statement by writing your name, your address, the number of signatures you obtained on that sheet, date it, sign your name, and enter your Town and County, each where indicated.

    • Please do not add a Sheet No.

  • Please mail completed forms to Ian R. Cohen For Congress, 169 Commack Rd, Ste 376, Commack, NY 11725. Please do this on or before May 15, 2026 to make sure I receive them in time to be counted.

  • Should you have any quesitons please contact us immediately and we will quickly answer. We have to get this right.
