Primary Watch: Chris Gallant is Running on Long Island

Chris Gallant has worn many hats. A Black Hawk helicopter pilot, an air traffic controller, a volunteer firefighter, a fiancé and now he hopes to add another one - Congressman from New York's 1st district. He's 36-years-old and running in the Democratic primary for NY-1 to hopefully unseat the current Republican. As part of our Primary Watch series, focusing on the next generation of political hopefuls around the country, we chat with Chris about how his military service informs his view on the current war in Iran, Pete Hegseth's new 'standards' for the enlisted, what 'affordability' really means, and how he's tackling campaigning in a purple district.
