Democratic congressional candidate, 37-year-old Christopher Gallant, acknowledged he posed years ago for an ad campaign selling leather bondage gear.  He also commented on another past photo that leaked, showing him as a shirtless bartender in his underwear working a Fire Island event, saying he will not allow photographs from a past relationship or employment to be distorted and weaponized for political purposes. Gallant is in a hotly contested race on Long Island against Republican Nick LaLota.  The Suffolk County Democratic Committee also chimed in, touting Gallant’s service to the community as a former military pilot, air traffic controller, and volunteer firefighter.
