Chris Gallant's Chances in Fire Island District as BDSM Photos Surface
Gallant’s attorney said the images came from a private, consensual photoshoot and that the candidate remains committed to his campaign.
- On Monday, New York congressional candidate Chris Gallant addressed resurfaced BDSM-themed modeling photos from 2011 to 2020 while challenging Republican Representative Nick LaLota in a difficult district.
- Attorney Sara Azari confirmed the photographs are authentic and were taken during a private, consensual relationship before Gallant requested their removal from San Francisco-based retailer Mr. S Leather's website.
- "I'm not embarrassed or ashamed—I have always been unapologetically me," Gallant said on Monday, maintaining the images do not impact his qualifications as an Army National Guard pilot and firefighter.
- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee offered no comment on the photos Monday, though the party previously identified the race as in play as Gallant continues his campaign.
- Kalshi data indicates Representative Nick LaLota holds a 70 percent chance of reelection in the Republican-held district, presenting significant obstacles for Gallant in the upcoming election.
