Senate Leader Rob Ortt –  “To save our state, we need new leadership in Albany. That is why I am proud to endorse Lee Zeldin to be New York’s next Governor. Like me, Lee volunteered to serve his country by joining the US Army. He has a proven record fighting for New Yorkers and our country. Now more than ever, New York needs a battle-tested leader like Lee Zeldin who will fight to lower taxes, restore public safety, and meet the everyday challenges facing families and communities across New York. While Andrew Cuomo has finally resigned in disgrace, the corrupt culture he fostered is alive and well in our State Capitol. To turn New York around, we need a Governor who will reject Albany’s pro-criminal policies, fight for families and jobs, and make our state more affordable. I look forward to working with our next Governor Lee Zeldin to save our state.”

Senator Alexis Weik – “The State of New York is at the brink. We’ve witnessed the Democrats controlling Albany drive the communities we love into the ground, and this is our last chance to turn things around. We need a Governor who is not only going to talk the talk, but walk the walk and deliver for New Yorkers in every corner of our state. Having seen first hand his commitment and dedication to those he serves, we need Lee Zeldin as our next governor. I have no doubt that he will deliver for all New Yorkers the way he has for our local communities.”

Senator Andrew Lanza – “The reality New Yorkers face every single day – random acts of violent crime, a sputtering economy, and a government that restricts the freedoms of its citizens – is completely unacceptable, especially for the greatest city in the world! We have to turn things around. Congressman Lee Zeldin is a proven warrior for what’s right, and his common-sense policies on safety, economy, and freedom will be a great boon for the state of New York, which is why I’m proud to give him my full support.”

Senator Anthony Palumbo – “I’ve had the privilege of fighting for Long Island alongside Lee Zeldin for years and his doggedness in serving his constituents is unparalleled. Lee’s life of service, whether in the Army, the State Senate or now in Congress, is hallmarked by integrity and passion. There is no better person to fight for everyday New Yorkers in Albany as their Governor than Lee Zeldin.” 

Senator Dan Stec – “Andrew Cuomo is leading our state down the wrong path, confirming our worst fears with each far-left and out-of-touch policy that we see come out of Albany. With the reckless ‘reforms’ and rhetoric that undermine our police, raising taxes to record levels and exploiting the pandemic for personal financial gain, it is clear that Cuomo is out for himself politically and personally. We need real change in Albany that actually helps taxpayers. Lee Zeldin is the leader we need to make it happen. Lee knows what it will take to grow our economy, to clean up our streets and to make New York a much better place to live, work, and raise a family.”

Senator Edward Rath – “New York is in desperate need of a leader who will save our state from Andrew Cuomo’s crushing taxes, criminal first agenda, and anti-police crusade. Lee Zeldin has shown his ability to work with anyone and everyone to deliver real results for New York and has what it takes to put us back on the right track.”

Senator Fred Akshar – “Under Andrew Cuomo and the Legislature led by NYC Democrats, New York has been turned upside down. Crime and taxes are on the rise, while opportunities and quality of life are plummeting. This is unsustainable. If we want New York to thrive, we need a Governor with common sense policies and the leadership to get the job done. Lee Zeldin has shown time and time again that he can and will put partisan politics aside to work with anyone in order to do what is best for the people he represents, and that is exactly what he will do as Governor of New York.”

Senator George Borrello – “As our next Governor, Lee Zeldin will help reverse Andrew Cuomo’s anti-small business agenda. Lee will stop Cuomo’s crushing and corrupt policies, support our police, and fight back against the radical left agenda to restore the balance of power in New York. I am proud to stand with him in this fight.”

Senator James Tedisco – “Crime and taxes are skyrocketing, public safety and trust in our government are plummeting, and New York has become a shining example of how to run a state into the ground. Instead of following common sense principles, our leaders in Albany continue pumping out far-left policies like cashless bail and supporting efforts to defund our police while raising taxes for many to the highest in the nation. It’s no surprise New Yorkers are fleeing the state in record numbers. I’m proud to endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin for governor. I’ve known Lee since he was in college at SUNY-Albany and Albany Law School working with me to build support for Suzanne’s Law and I know he is fully ready to reverse Albany’s failed far-left agenda and restore New York to glory.”

Senator Joseph Griffo – “New York taxes are too high, small businesses are closing, crime is on the rise and working class New Yorkers can’t afford to live in their homes and are fleeing the state in an unparalleled exodus from New York. Cuomo has got to go. Having had the opportunity to serve with Lee Zeldin in the New York State Senate, I’ve seen firsthand his incomparable integrity, ability to deliver results for those he represents, and his passion for making a positive difference for and in the lives of all New Yorkers. I am proud to endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin for governor, because I know he has what it takes to win in 2022 and save our state.”

Senator Mario Mattera – “As a labor leader for over two decades, I know personally how hard Lee Zeldin has fought to protect the hardworking men and women of labor.  Now, as an elected official, I see firsthand how Lee’s integrity, demeanor and genuine honesty are needed to protect the future of every single New Yorker.  A family man who is devoted to his community and his nation, Lee is the right person at the right time and he will lead our state to a brighter future that will benefit every single one of us.  I am proud to call him my friend and to wholeheartedly endorse Lee Zeldin to be the next governor of New York State.”

Senator Mike Martucci – “As our next Governor, Lee Zeldin will help reverse Andrew Cuomo’s anti-small business agenda. Lee will stop Cuomo’s crushing and corrupt policies, support our police, and fight back against the radical left agenda to restore the balance of power in New York. I am proud to stand with him in this fight.”

Senator Pamela Helming – “With a Democrat supermajority in the State Capitol, Albany’s sole focus continues to be satisfying the liberal wish list of far-left New York City activists while ignoring common sense and the needs of the rest of the state. I’m supporting Lee Zeldin for governor because his commitment to restoring geographic balance in our state’s capital and reversing the downward trajectory of our state will ensure that the needs of all everyday New Yorkers will be prioritized by Albany, not just the demands of the far-left in New York City.”

Senator Patrick Gallivan – “New York needs a Governor who can lead by example, who will make New Yorkers proud and honor the public trust. Lee Zeldin is a family man who has served with integrity in the U.S. Army, in the State Senate and in Congress. New York is on the wrong path – runaway spending, rising crime and mired in allegations of misconduct involving the Governor – it is clear that we need change. Lee Zeldin represents the change we need and is the right person to lead New York forward.”

Senator Peter Oberacker – “Congressman Lee Zeldin is a soldier, family man, and tireless advocate for working class New Yorkers. In Albany and Washington, he has consistently been able to deliver real results and has shown that he will do whatever it takes to get the job done. We are proud to endorse Lee for governor because we know he will squash Cuomo’s dangerous anti-police agenda, stop Cuomo’s massive tax hikes, restore our freedoms, end Cuomo’s scandal plagued governorship, and save our state.”

Senator Phil Boyle – “I’ve witnessed firsthand the dysfunction that has plagued Albany and seen how Democrats’ radical policies – undermining our police, hiking taxes, and more – have left the communities we love a shell of their prior glory. We cannot survive another term of Andrew Cuomo, and his tenure of incompetence must come to an end. Lee Zeldin will save our state, restore it to glory, and fight tirelessly for everyday New Yorkers, which is why I’m proud to give him my full support.”

Senator Tom O’Mara – “This is a turbulent time for New York State. Rising taxes, eroded public safety, and one-party, NYC centric rule in Albany have caused many New Yorkers to lose faith in their government. We have a great opportunity to fix that in November 2022. New Yorkers need a leader like Congressman Lee Zeldin as our next Governor to get this state back on track. His vast experience in government and laser like focus on the issues of top priority to our region, coupled with his staunch fiscal responsibility and support of law enforcement, is exactly what we need to Save Our State.”

Assemblyman Andy Goodell – “The Democrats in Albany are focused on implementing a far-left agenda that will hurt middle class New Yorkers, including eliminating bail for hundreds of crimes, releasing hundreds of inmates from prison, destroying small landlords in the housing market, imposing billions of dollars in new taxes and fees, driving out employers and small businesses, and imposing onerous mandates one-after-another. Rather than helping law abiding taxpaying New Yorkers, the Democrats are helping criminals, taking-away guns, and giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses and $2.3 Billion in cash. After years of scandal and corruption, it is time for a new government in Albany. I am proud to support the common sense approach of Lee Zeldin that focuses on helping all New Yorkers achieve a better future with high quality education, more jobs, safer communities, and lower taxes. Lee Zeldin has my strong and unequivocal endorsement for New York State governor.”

Assemblyman Brian Miller – “The Democrats in charge of Albany have chosen to ignore the needs of upstate New York, while devoting all of their time and attention to the needs of New York City and its radical liberal policies. We need to reverse course immediately. There are vital projects that are critical to New Yorkers, like accessible broadband coverage, that get left in the dark by our city-centric Democratic state government. Lee Zeldin will fight to restore geographic balance to Albany so that the needs of all New Yorkers, regardless of where they live, have a voice.”

Assemblyman Chris Tague – “New York needs a champion for working people and families now more than ever, and I am confident Lee Zeldin is the best person to defeat Andrew Cuomo and bring common sense back to Albany. For years now, Andrew Cuomo has worsened our business climate, driven families and businesses out of the state, stood up for criminals and against law enforcement and public safety, and ignored our constitutional rights.”

Assemblyman Colin Schmitt – “Andrew Cuomo’s many scandals demonstrate his lack of integrity, disregard for the public, and inability to lead our state. As a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Reserve, former state senator, and current congressman Lee Zeldin has always put his community and country before himself. He has proven himself to be a leader who always delivers, and has shown his ability to return the Empire State to its former glory.”

Assemblyman David DiPietro – “Lee Zeldin has always stood shoulder to shoulder with members of enforcement and is exactly what New York needs to save our state from the crime wave that has occurred as a result of Andrew Cuomo’s failed policies. As governor, Lee Zeldin will work night and day to reverse Cuomo’s disastrous anti-police policies, and restore law and order. I am proud to endorse him.”

Assemblyman Doug Smith – “Andrew Cuomo has punished New York’s middle class with his pro criminal agenda, high taxes, and disdain for police, but he has also used his office for profit as New Yorkers suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic. New York needs a governor who can lead with integrity, who understands the struggles of everyday working people, and who will always fight for our families. New York needs Lee Zeldin.” 

Assemblyman Jake Ashby – “Under the leadership of Andrew Cuomo New Yorkers have seen an explosive increase in crime coupled with massive tax increases that continue to drive families out of our State. Simply put, it is time for a change. Lee Zeldin is a proven leader who is committed to restoring fiscal discipline and promoting pro-police policies. I am honored to endorse fellow Army Veteran Lee Zeldin for Governor.”

Assemblyman Jarrett Gandolfo – “Lee Zeldin is the fighter New York needs to save our state. Whether it be admirably serving our nation in the U.S. Army, protecting our shores and environment, advocating on behalf of law enforcement, or cutting taxes, Lee has shown he has what it takes to turn our state around. He is the right person at the right time to take on the corrupt Andrew Cuomo.”

Assemblyman Jeff Gallahan – “When Law Enforcement needed our support the most, Andrew Cuomo caved to the radical left, and our state has seen a dramatic rise in crime. I am proud to endorse Lee Zeldin for Governor because I know he will never put criminals above law-abiding citizens, and will always work hard for the working class New Yorkers I am honored to represent.”

Assemblyman Joe Angelino – “It is time for a change. I am proud to support Congressman Lee Zeldin because he will always protect our freedoms, support our farmers and small businesses, stand with our police, and never forget the men and women of this district who have been neglected by Albany for far too long.”

Assemblyman Joe DeStefano – “Now more than ever, New Yorkers need a leader in Albany who will stand up to the radical anti-police, anti-safety agenda propagated by Andrew Cuomo Cuomo and his far-left New York City cronies. Lee Zeldin has always stood up for safety and security. Whether it be during his service in Iraq with the U.S. Army, or his fierce advocacy on behalf of New Yorkers as a NYS senator and congressman, he has always been a staunch supporter of police, law enforcement, and public safety.  Lee will be a governor committed to the rule of law, and will help to save our state.”

Assemblyman John Lemondes – “Congressman Zeldin has served his country in the military and in public office, and now it’s time for him to continue his service as our next Governor. Time and time again, Lee Zeldin has shown he can and will consistently deliver real, tangible results for those he represents, and will work with whoever he needs to in order to get the job done. We need that fighting spirit to Save Our State and improve the lives of all New Yorkers.”

Assemblyman Josh Jensen – “People across our state are demanding common sense leadership that will consistently deliver real results, and Congressman Lee Zeldin is the leader we need for all New Yorkers. With his commitment to service at the state and federal level, Congressman Zeldin has the experience and the ability we need to turn our state around.”

Assemblyman Karl Brabenec – “I am very happy to officially endorse my good friend Lee Zeldin for Governor of the State of New York. Our state is failing in every possible way and in desperate need of good leadership. Lee has a proven record of accomplishments, excellent leadership skills, and the right vision to make NY the Empire State once again! Please support Lee Zeldin for NYS Governor in 2022.”

Assemblyman Keith Brown – “Whether in the Army or the State Senate or now in Congress, Lee Zeldin has demonstrated what it means to be a leader by fighting for our country, small businesses, law enforcement, and common sense policies. There’s no doubt he can restore New York to glory, which is why I strongly support Lee Zeldin for Governor.”

Assemblyman Mark Walcyzk – “A fellow veteran, lawmaker, and proud New Yorker, Congressman Lee Zeldin is ready to lead New York’s comeback and the only choice for governor. Democrats have enjoyed unchecked power during their one-party reign in Albany and have used that power to do incredible damage to our state, pushing through the fantasies of New York City socialists while popular, common-sense policies fell to the wayside. Lee will be a governor who will make sure every New Yorker has a voice in our government and every corner of New York has an equal say.” 

Assemblyman Matt Simpson – “New York used to be the envy of the world, but, for many New Yorkers, they can’t leave our state fast enough. The reason behind this isn’t a mystery. It’s due to radical one-party policies that are making New York unsafe, unaffordable, and unlivable for many. I’m proud to give my full support to Lee Zeldin because the current challenges facing our state aren’t unfixable, but we need a governor who will fight for all New Yorkers, who has solutions to our problems and the political grit to get the job done.”

Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick – “Lee Zeldin has consistently delivered tangible results not only for Long Island, but for New York and the country as a whole. Whether it be fighting to cut taxes, protecting the environment, supporting small businesses or standing up for the men and women of law enforcement, he has shown that he will never stop advocating for the people he represents. I am proud to support Lee Zeldin for Governor, because I know he has what it takes to save our state.”

Assemblyman Michael Reilly – “Everyday New Yorkers have paid the price for Albany’s failed policies with higher taxes, undermined public safety and a deteriorating quality of life that has left our state a shell of its former glory. It’s time that we elect a Governor who will fight for the priorities of New Yorkers, not bow to the radical left. It’s time for a Governor who will support our men and women in blue, not side with criminals. We need a Governor who will save our state and return it to glory, and that Governor is Lee Zeldin.”

Assemblyman Robert Smullen – “As millions of New Yorkers flee the state, crime soars, and taxes reach an all-time high, we need someone ready to save our state on day one. New Yorkers deserve a leader in Albany who is focused on their safety and keeping money in their wallets. That is why I’m supporting Congressman Lee Zeldin for Governor. From his time as a State Senator to his record in Congress, Lee Zeldin has proven himself to be a leader who puts people over politics and delivers results.”

Assemblyman Steve Hawley – “New York has gone from being the business capital of the world, to one of the most hostile environments for businesses of all sizes. Albany’s assault on New York businesses is having a devastating effect, costing our state much needed revenue and jobs, as businesses flee for friendler states. This has to stop. As a small business owner, I know what it takes to spur growth in our economy and create jobs, and Lee Zeldin’s pro-growth, pro-business, and pro-jobs agenda will reignite our once booming economy.”

Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio – “New York was once known as the premiere place to do business, but Andrew Cuomo’s high-tax agenda has decimated our economy and forced many to flee in search of a more prosperous, affordable place to live. Lee Zeldin has what it takes to stop this exodus, and once again make the Empire State fertile ground for American ingenuity and opportunity.  I am proud to support his campaign for governor.”

Assemblywoman Marjorie Byrnes – “In New York, our infrastructure, economy and freedoms are crumbling under one-party rule. Rather than attending to the needs of everyday New Yorkers, the governor has been too preoccupied appeasing her radical base. Lee Zeldin is a man of character who is dedicated to solving the many challenges currently facing New Yorkers due to Andrew Cuomo and now his Lieutenant.”

Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh – “Quality of life for New Yorkers is diminishing rapidly under one-party control in Albany. Small businesses are struggling to stay open, law enforcement is struggling to fight crime, and families are struggling to survive New York’s rising cost of living. Enough is enough. We need change in New York, and we need it fast. I’m endorsing Lee Zeldin for Governor because he recognizes these problems for what they are, and has simple, common-sense solutions to fix the mess Albany has created.”

Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel – “I am proud to support Lee Zeldin for Governor of New York. Lee has a proven track record, will work to bring back our economy and keep New Yorkers safe. Chautauqua County families and small businesses can’t afford the liberal policies such as high taxes, increased crime, and a skyrocketing cost of living.”

Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro – “The truth of the matter is we need good people who will stand up and fight for ordinary New Yorkers, and Lee Zeldin not only understands that, but has done it as a Congressman and has done it in the United States Armed Services. This is an individual who understands the history and the value of sacrificing one’s life for something greater than themselves. This is an individual who understands the history and the value of good people who simply stand firm in what they believe and stand up for the people they serve, and for that reason I proudly endorse Lee Zeldin for Governor.”

Montgomery County Executive Matthew Ossenfort – “New York State is in a crisis. Our small businesses are struggling, crime is rising, and so many New Yorkers are fleeing due to the reckless, senseless policies coming out of Albany. We desperately need new leadership to bring our state and country back. Lee Zeldin is the man for the job.”

Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus – “New York needs a Governor ready on day one to reverse Andrew Cuomo’s disastrous anti-police agenda, radical bail reform policy, and runaway tax hikes. Lee Zeldin has spent his life fighting for New Yorkers and is the only one who can help save our state. I’m proud to support Lee Zeldin for Governor, because our future depends on it.”

Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin – “Once, New York State was recognized as a world leader in economic advancement, a home to research and technological development, opportunity and strong quality of life. Today, it is sadly known as a state that residents seek to escape from, to get away from failed and corrupt leadership. We need to save New York with new leadership at the top, and Lee Zeldin is our choice for Governor.”

Allegany County Republican Party Chair Dwight “Mike” Healy – “Congressman Zeldin stood up for our police when radical democrats wanted to defund them, has delivered for our veterans and seniors in Albany and Washington, and will help put New York State back on the right track. As Governor Lee will continue to stand up for law enforcement, fight for lower taxes, and make it easier for our seniors to stay in their homes.”

Broome County Republican Party Chair Bijoy Datta – “Lee Zeldin is the right candidate to get the Southern Tier and all of New York headed back in the right direction. He’ll clean up Cuomo’s corruption and get our economy back on track as we recover from the COVID pandemic.”

Cattaraugus County Republican Party Chair Robert Keis – “With New York State at a crossroads, there is no one better to have at the helm than Lee Zeldin. I am proud to endorse him for Governor. Many children still aren’t in school full time, residents are fleeing the state in droves, radical politicians are trying to defund the police and Andrew Cuomo is trying to cover up multiple scandals. Lee is the right man for the job and will help to save our state.”

Cayuga County Republican Party Chair Roberta Massarini – “Higher taxes, increased crime, crumbling roads, scandals and lies. All things that can perfectly sum up Andrew Cuomo’s last two terms as Governor. Lee Zeldin will bring his unmatched integrity, grit, drive, and vision to Albany and help save New York State.”

Chautauqua County Republican Party Chair Nacole Ellis – “With Western New York’s population plummeting and our taxes skyrocketing to the highest in the nation, a state that was once the envy of the world is hoping our best days aren’t behind us. We need new leadership, and Lee Zeldin is the clear choice to restore New York as its 57th Governor. With his passion, dedication, commitment to our great state coupled with his faith, vision and commitment, I have no doubt that Lee Zeldin will save our state.”

Chemung County Republican Party Chair Sara Lattin – “While crime runs rampant in our streets, families are being taxed out of their homes, and New York’s economy sputters, Democrats in Albany and NYC have been too distracted by their desperation to consolidate power, and everyday New Yorkers are paying the price. New York needs a leader who will actually focus on the issues at hand. I’m proud to support Lee, because he’ll be a governor focused on saving New York.”

Chenango County Republican Party Chair Bob Brooks – “Andrew Cuomo will leave behind a legacy of failed policies, failed leadership, and failing the people of New York State. New York needs a governor who will do what is best for our state, not a governor who will do what is best for himself, and his donors in New York City. The Chenango County GOP is proud to endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin as our next governor. Lee’s indelible service to our nation and his constituents proves him to be New York’s best chance at reversing the years of damage done to our great state by Andrew Cuomo and the Democrats in Albany.”

Clinton County Republican Party Chair Clark Currier – “Kathy Hochul is not only continuing the legacy of Andrew Cuomo, but is ramping up the attacks on our wallets, safety, and freedoms even worse than her predecessor. From the cashless bail law that needs to be repealed, to firing unvaccinated medical professionals and leaving them high and dry on unemployment insurance, to the quality of our kids’ education needing to be strengthened, one-party rule in Albany is just not getting the job done for the North Country. That’s why the Clinton County Republican Committee is proud to endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin in his run to be New York’s next Governor. We must Save Our State and Lee will stand with our brave law enforcement, fight to lower taxes, and turn our state around.”

Columbia County Republican Party Chair Greg Fingar – “We stand at a critical moment in our state’s history. With the scandals revolving around the Governor’s mansion, ongoing investigations by the Attorney General, an active impeachment inquiry, massive out migration and taxes squeezing our seniors and middle class, it is clear that Andrew Cuomo is not fit to lead. Congressman Lee Zeldin can help save New York state and lead us in the right direction.”

Cortland County Republican Party Chair Connie White – “New York is crumbling under Governor Cuomo. Failed policy after failed policy is pushing our state to the brink. Lifelong New Yorkers are searching for new states they will call home, not to mention those who have left already! Lee Zeldin has the ability and the tireless work ethic to reverse Cuomo’s failed and damaging policies. We have witnessed a decade of corruption, New Yorkers know it and they are tired of it. Congressman Zeldin can put an end to this decline, he will stop these dangerous policies and make New Yorkers proud once more to live, work and raise children in New York. It is time for Lee Zeldin, and I, along with my Committee, endorse him.”

Delaware County Republican Party Chair Beverly Shields – “Never before has a government been so out of touch with the people it represents. The people of New York want a good-paying job and safe and affordable communities to raise their families. Andrew Cuomo and the Democrats in Albany have been working tirelessly to do the opposite. We’re proud to endorse Congressman Zeldin for governor, because he understands what needs to be done to turn New York State around. Lee will make sure that Albany once again listens to all New Yorkers, not just New York City.”

Dutchess County Republican Party Chair Mike McCormack – “Congressman Lee Zeldin has shown during his time in Congress he has what it takes to reverse Andrew Cuomo’s disastrous policies that continue to hurt our state. Lee will work to lower taxes, fight crime, and bring integrity to Albany as our next governor. He has my total support.”

Essex County Republican Party Chair John Gereau – “Essex County has been hurt by the radical liberal policies put forth by Governor Cuomo and his Socialist New York City allies. He has raised taxes, failed to support our law enforcement, mishandled the response to the coronavirus leading to business closures and needless deaths in our nursing homes, and has embarrassed New Yorkers across the state with scandals, investigations, and impeachment inquiries. Lee Zeldin will stand up for all New Yorkers; work to lower taxes, support our veterans, seniors and law enforcement, create a pro-business environment, and help to save our state.”

Franklin County Republican Party Chair Kevin Mulverhill – “New York is at a crossroads. If we continue down the path of high taxes, dangerous cashless bail for criminals, and one party rule in Albany, driving our population out of our state, there will be nothing left of our communities. We need a new direction. Lee Zeldin is a proven leader who will fight to bring business back to New York, keep our neighborhoods safe, and get our state back on track, which is why we’re proud to give him our full support.”

Fulton County Republican Party Chair Susan McNeil – “With a dwindling economy, rising crime and more New Yorkers leaving the state than ever before, it’s clear it’s time for a change. Susan McNeil, Chairman, Fulton County Republican Committee, is proud to announce at a recent Committee meeting, the FCRC voted to endorse Lee Zeldin for Governor. After having the opportunity to meet our Gubernatorial Candidates, the FCRC agreed now is the time to rally behind one Candidate. We need a leader who will fight for everyday New Yorkers, not bow to Albany special interests, which is why we fully support Lee Zeldin for Governor. He will fight to reverse the colossal damage done by one-party rule in Albany and Save Our State.”

Genesee County Republican Party Chair Richard Siebert – “Genesee County has long watched its hard-working residents flee New York for other states due to the radical and oppressive policies implemented by Governor Cuomo. This is a governor with no regard for our wallets, our safety, or the well-being of our communities. Lee Zeldin is pro-growth, pro-law enforcement and anti-tax, and will work to reverse the dangerous move to socialism by our current administration before it’s too late.”

Greene County Republican Party Chair Brent Bogardus – “New York has come to a fork in the road. We can continue down the same path of high taxes, lies, scandals, deceit and more money for New York City’s liberal agenda, or we can work to elect Lee Zeldin to be our next Governor. He is the right man, at the right time, who can help to save our state.”

Hamilton County Republican Party Chair Clark Seaman – “For years, the needs of upstate New York have fallen on deaf ears while the State Government remained solely focused on social programs for New York City. Today, I am proud to endorse Lee Zeldin for Governor. The time has come to end the reckless tax and spend policies that have driven so many New Yorkers out and restore a voice for all New Yorkers in Albany.”

Herkimer County Republican Party Chair Sylvia Rowan – “Residents are fleeing New York State in droves. Taxes are too high, small businesses are suffering, and crime is through the roof. In order to change the downward spiral of our great state, we desperately need new leadership in Albany. We need Congressman Lee Zeldin. It is our honor to endorse Lee to be our next governor because we know he has what it takes to fix what Andrew Cuomo has broken.”

Jefferson County Republican Party Chair Don Coon – “We have witnessed the results of one-party rule in New York State – skyrocketing crime, skyrocketing rent, skyrocketing taxes, and more and more New Yorkers fleeing the state while they still can. New York is sliding into the abyss. The current regime seems to despise employers and love employees as if one can exist without the other. Meanwhile, cashless bail and liberal parole policies put a revolving door on the criminal justice system. The Democrats have taken discretion away from our law enforcement professionals – judges, prosecutors, and police officers – those who are closest to the people and are in the best position to make decisions that affect community safety. New York continues its spending spree with total government spending double that of Florida, which has two million more people than the Empire State. Companies have to be literally bribed to move their operations to New York. In the case of Amazon, nearly 3 billion dollars in subsidies were not enough to overcome the state’s toxic business environment. It’s time to turn the ship around and return to the days of New York as the Empire State: a leader in business and industry, with safe streets and prospering communities. That’s why the Jefferson County Republican Committee is endorsing Lee Zeldin. He will be a governor for all New Yorkers who understands that good paying jobs come from employer-friendly policies, that the rights of citizens trump the rights of criminals, and finally, that the current economic climate is pushing our talented young people to points south, robbing us of our children and their valuable human capital.”

Kings County Republican Party Chair Ted Ghorra –  “From all corners of the nation, people flocked here to raise a family, pursue the limitless opportunities of our city and state, and achieve the American Dream. Now we’re seeing the opposite. High crime, a withering economy, oppressive business environment and out of control taxes and spending are forcing New Yorkers to leave our great city and state in search of better opportunities. We can and must reverse New York’s decline. A change in leadership is crucial to getting us out of the mess created by Albany, led by Governor Cuomo and out of control one party rule. Today, both I and our executive committee are proud to announce our endorsement of Congressman Lee Zeldin for governor of New York. Over the past decade, he has proven himself to be a tireless fighter for the people he represents. New York needs a battle tested leader like Congressman Zeldin to end the madness, implement common sense policies, and save our state.”

Livingston County Republican Party Chair John Pauer – “I am proud to endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin in his bid to be our next governor. He is by far the best man for the job. Lee has a proven track record of delivering real results for his constituents when it comes to standing with our law enforcement, fighting to lower taxes, and protecting veterans and seniors. I am confident he will do the same and more for all New Yorkers as our next governor.”

Madison County Republican Party Chair Todd Rouse – “New York needs new leadership and Lee Zeldin is the right person for the job. He has my endorsement and support and we’ll work hard every day between now and November 2022 to get him elected.”

Monroe County Republican Party Chair Bernie Iacovangelo – “New Yorkers have had enough of the lies, coverups, and scandals. New Yorkers have had enough of Andrew Cuomo. New Yorkers need a new governor. New Yorkers need Lee Zeldin. Lee is someone we can count on to support our veterans and seniors, fix our state’s economy, support law enforcement and fight to lower taxes. I am proud to lend him my endorsement.”

Montgomery County Republican Party Chair Mike McMahon – “Ten years of Andrew Cuomo as New York’s Governor is ten years too many. New Yorkers deserve a governor who can devote 100% of their time to the job instead of fighting scandal after scandal. New York needs Lee Zeldin. He has the skill, passion, and drive to save our state.”

Nassau County Republican Party Chair Joseph G. Cairo, Jr. –  “Our state was once the envy of the world. Unfortunately, the current Governor has devastated the finances of the Empire State, mishandled the Coronavirus response and stood idly by as the economy of New York floundered. Lee Zeldin is not just a man of action. He’s a man of results. Time and time again, he has delivered for Long Island, and I am confident that Lee Zeldin will save our great State before more families and jobs flee the Empire State, additional businesses close, and our quality of life further erodes.” 

Oneida County Republican Party Chair Pete Sobel – “New York has suffered under Andrew Cuomo’s failed radical policies for ten long years, and we are long overdue for a serious change in leadership. Crime is on the rise, taxes are soaring, and our quality of life continues to suffer. Today I am proud to announce my endorsement of Congressman Lee Zeldin to be our next governor, to turn things around and save our state.”

Onondaga County Republican Party Chair Benedicte Doran – “Congressman Lee Zeldin is best positioned to be the next governor of New York State. Not only has he served our nation as a Lt. Colonel in the US Army Reserve, he continued to serve in Albany as a State Senator and currently in the House of Representatives delivering results for his constituents and all of New York State. Lee is a dedicated public servant with a proven track record of getting things done. There is no one better to serve as our next governor than Lee Zeldin.”

Ontario County Republican Party Chair Trisha Turner – “Party Leadership is witnessing an impressive ground swell of support for a strong and viable candidate to challenge Governor Cuomo. Lee Zeldin is answering the call, giving hope for a candidate that inspires a real grassroots movement leading to success in 2022. New Yorkers are ready to take back their state from the radical policies and politicians that have eroded their state. We need a battle tested warrior to turn this state around. I am proud to endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin for Governor.”

Orange County Republican Party Chair Courtney Canfield Greene – “Orange County, like every other New York State county, is bearing the brunt of Andrew Cuomo’s three terms of failed policies. Taxes and crime are up, while quality of life and faith in our government are down. We need to reverse this trend quickly. Today I am proud to announce my endorsement of Lee Zeldin for governor because he is the only one who can reverse this trend and save our state.”

Orleans County Republican Party Chair Merle “Skip” Draper – “For years, billions of dollars have been taken from upstate communities to fuel New York City’s radical liberal agenda. Andrew Cuomo continues to raise taxes, as upstate New Yorkers struggle and flee to other less expensive places to live. Lee Zeldin will fight to lower taxes, support our local law enforcement, fix our roads and bridges, and help save New York State as our next governor.”

Oswego County Republican Party Chair Fred Beardsley – “Across New York, families and small businesses are struggling. Oswego County is no exception. The rapid rate that our residents are leaving the state is alarming. Lee Zeldin will help get our county and state back on the road to prosperity. During his time in the New York State Senate and the United States House of Representatives, Lee Zeldin has a proven track record of supporting economic growth across New York. We can’t keep going down the same path. Time and time again the liberal monopoly in Albany has failed our communities. Lee Zeldin is the right man to help save our state.”

Otsego County Republican Party Chair Lori Lehenbauer – “Congressman Lee Zeldin is a soldier, family man, and tireless advocate for working class New Yorkers. In Albany and Washington, he has consistently been able to deliver real results and has shown that he will do whatever it takes to get the job done. We are proud to endorse Lee for governor because we know he will squash Cuomo’s dangerous anti-police agenda, stop Cuomo’s massive tax hikes, restore our freedoms, end Cuomo’s scandal plagued governorship, and save our state.”

Queens County Republican Party Chair Joann Ariola – “Every year of Andrew Cuomo’s reign in Albany has been a relentless assault on New York’s economy, quality of life, and public safety, all in the name of the Radical left’s agenda. Lee Zeldin has proven himself to be a fighter for the issues that real New Yorkers care about: good-paying jobs, driving down the cost of living, and getting criminals off our streets. As our governor, Lee will be able to draw upon his extensive experience in both state and federal government to pass common sense legislation that will right the many wrongs of the Cuomo administration.”

Richmond County Republican Party Chair Anthony Reinhart – “New Yorkers want lower taxes. New Yorkers back the blue. New Yorkers want to go back to work and school. That is why New Yorkers need Lee Zeldin. As our next governor, Lee will be able to deliver what New Yorkers need. I proudly endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin in his campaign for Governor.”

Rockland County Republican Party Chair  Lawrence Garvey – “For New Yorkers, the status quo of rampant crime, skyrocketing taxes, and squandered freedoms isn’t cutting it and is forcing them to flee. They need a Governor who will restore balance to Albany and fight to the needs of everyday New Yorkers. New York needs a change, and Lee Zeldin is that change, which is why I’m proud to fully support him.”

Saratoga County Republican Party Chair Carl Zeilman – “Saratoga County has been hurt by the radical liberal policies coming out of Albany, and hard working families up and down New York State have had enough. New Yorkers have a phenomenal opportunity in November 2022 to help turn our state around by electing Lee Zeldin as our next Governor. On day one Lee will restore law and order, start rebuilding our economy and begin to save our state.”

Schenectady County Republican Party Chair Christopher Koetzle – “New York is headed in the wrong direction. Single-party rule in Albany has led to higher taxes, higher crime rates, and droves of residents having to leave their families and sell their homes. Today I am proud to endorse Lee Zeldin for governor. Lee has a plan to cut taxes, protect our communities, support our police, get our children back to school, and more, to save our state.”

Schoharie County Republican Party Chair Chris Tague – “New York needs a champion for working people and families now more than ever, and I am confident Lee Zeldin is the best person to defeat Andrew Cuomo and bring common sense back to Albany. For years now, Andrew Cuomo has worsened our business climate, driven families and businesses out of the state, stood up for criminals and against law enforcement and public safety, and ignored our constitutional rights. Lee Zeldin will right the wrongs of the Cuomo administration and be an executive New Yorkers can trust to make the best decisions for everyday people, while doing so in a transparent and trustworthy way. I look forward to seeing him win the governorship in 2022, we need Lee Zeldin to help us save New York.”

Schuyler County Republican Party Chair Larry Jaynes – “Threats. Scandals. Lies. Coverups. intimidation. Higher taxes. For the past two terms Andrew Cuomo has guided our state in the wrong direction, and now we are paying the price. New Yorkers are being taxed out of their homes, law enforcement are under attack, and we have a governor focused on investigations and an impeachment hearing. Lee Zeldin will help to support small businesses, cut taxes, and support our police and first responders, and help to save our state. He has my full endorsement.”

Seneca County Republican Party Chair Tom Fox – “New York State government has been plagued by Andrew Cuomo’s lies, abuse, and coverups. New Yorkers have lost faith in their government and their leaders. Today I am proud to endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin to be our next governor. Lee Zeldin has proven himself to be a man of integrity that New Yorkers can trust to do the right thing for our state.” 

St. Lawrence County Republican Party Chair Nancy Martin – “New York needs a leader that will lead by example, and Cuomo’s failed 3 terms as Governor have been nothing but scandals, cover ups and horrible public policy. We will not survive 16 years of Andrew Cuomo. Lee Zeldin has the strength and character to bring our state back from the brink, which is why I’m proud to fully support him for Governor in 2022.”

Steuben County Republican Party Chair Joe Sempolinski – “Andrew Cuomo has been an absolute disaster for New York. His and the Democrats’ policies are putting our communities in harm’s way while they try to find new ways to put more taxes on hard working New Yorkers to fund their radical agenda. I’m proud to endorse Lee Zeldin for governor because too many New York families are finding it harder and harder to afford the place they call home. We need a fiscally responsible governor like Lee Zeldin who will look out for New Yorkers’ wallets.”

Suffolk County Republican Party Chair Jesse Garcia – “The State of New York is at a crossroads. While our cost-of-living skyrockets, jobs flee the state, public safety deteriorates, and with our kids still not fully back in school, New Yorkers have been also forced to live through scandal after scandal brought on by a Governor who has lied, harassed, and bullied his way through office. If we’re going to turn this ship around, we need Lee Zeldin at the helm. Lee is a veteran, former prosecutor, family man and lifelong New Yorker who will work hard and effectively to reverse Albany’s attacks on our wallets, our safety and our freedoms.” 

Sullivan County Republican Party Chair Gary Maas – “New York State is at a crossroads. We have the choice to continue down our current path of high crime, high taxes, and dwindling opportunities under Andrew Cuomo or we can choose to turn our state around with Congressman Lee Zeldin. Lee’s pro-growth, pro-freedom, and pro-police agenda will end Cuomo’s nightmare reign and restore New York State to its former glory. I’m choosing to Save Our State, which is why I’m proud to endorse Congressman Zeldin for Governor of New York.”

Tioga County Republican Party Chair Don Castellucci – “Lee Zeldin’s entire life has been dedicated to service – from the U.S. Army to the State Senate to the U.S. Congress. Now he’s ready to bring real leadership to the State Capital as our next Governor.”

Tompkins County Republican Party Chair Mike Sigler – “Lee is a New Yorker.  He was born here, graduated from high school on Long Island and from the State University of New York and from Albany Law. It seems like the only time he’s been out of New York is to fight for his country in Iraq and to fight for his constituents in Washington. He’s served in the New York Senate too. He’s raising his family here. His life is a testament to his commitment to the Empire State. Lee has deep roots on Long Island, but has already committed to spending a lot of the next 19 months in Upstate New York. We need someone who can bridge the Upstate/Downstate divide and represent all New Yorkers. Lee is that candidate. George Pataki was able to beat a three term Cuomo and Mario Cuomo didn’t try to cover up a decision on nursing homes that led to the deaths of thousands of seniors. Mario Cuomo didn’t give his family and friends preferential treatment with Covid 19 tests, and he was not accused by at least nine women of making unwelcome sexual advances as Governor. Andrew Cuomo on the other hand has.  Andrew Cuomo has had every opportunity to do the right thing, but has decided to wait it out in the hopes the scandals will evaporate. I hope voters will ask, is New York better, both Upstate and Downstate, after 12 years of Andrew Cuomo? The answer is clearly no. He’s a tireless worker. We’ll need that energy with all of the problems, from political favoritism to politicians being frivolous with your tax dollars, now plaguing Albany.”

Ulster County Republican Party Chair Roger Rascoe – “Our state is in need of real, battle-tested leadership to restore New York to greatness. That is why I’m endorsing Congressman Lee Zeldin to be the next Governor of New York. We need a tried and true leader who will end the Democrats’ radical left policies, stand with our law enforcement, and make New York a more affordable place to raise a family. As a father, veteran, and proven leader, Lee Zeldin is the man to get the job done.” 

Warren County Republican Party Chair George Ferone – “New York can’t survive another four years of Andrew Cuomo. I’m proud to endorse Lee Zeldin because he is the only candidate who can fire Andrew Cuomo and turn our state around. As a Congressman, veteran, and lifelong New Yorker, Lee has the skills and sensible policies to fix New York and restore it to glory.”

Washington County Republican Party Chair Bill Herrick – “Everyday, New Yorkers are besieged by news reports of the scandals and corruption coming out of Albany. New York is in need of a governor it can be proud of. Today I am proud to announce my endorsement of Lee Zeldin for Governor because he is a man of honor, integrity, and a dedicated public servant. He is exactly the kind of leader New York needs to reverse the damage done and get our great state back on track.”

Wayne County Republican Party Chair MaryAnne Nicosia-McCarthy – “Corruption, abuse, and intimidation are the status quo in Albany under Governor Andrew Cuomo. We can’t stand idly by while Cuomo and a liberal majority continue to make Albany fiscally and morally bankrupt. I’m endorsing Lee Zeldin for governor because I know he will restore honesty to our state and make us proud to be New Yorkers once again.”

Wyoming County Republican Party Chair Ellen Grant – “Lee Zeldin is offering New Yorkers a solid candidate for our future Governor. He has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience through his service in the State Legislature and Congress, as well as personally in the legal profession and serving in the Armed Forces. He displays the integrity and leadership we need in Albany and shares the values of the people of Wyoming County. I am pleased to give my full support and endorsement to Lee Zeldin for Governor.”

Yates County Republican Party Chair Jack Prendergast – “I am delighted to announce my endorsement for Congressman Lee Zeldin’s run for New York Governor. Cost of living is out of control, crime is through the roof, and our economy is still placed under a needless lockdown. We need a real leader in Albany like Congressman Lee Zeldin, who will reverse our state’s decline and restore New York State to prosperity.”

Albany County Conservative Party Chair Thomas Spargo – “Congressman Zeldin has many long-standing connections to Albany County where he graduated with his college degree from SUNY Albany and then his law degree from Albany Law School. He is a U.S. veteran and served with the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq. He has distinguished himself as a U.S. Congressman from Suffolk County for many years and has demonstrated the leadership credentials that will make him one of the best governors in New York in many years. During his career he has earned the respect of government and business leaders throughout New York State. He has also demonstrated that he is a man of his word and is reliable in the pursuit of the best interests of New York State and its residents.”

Bronx County Conservative Party Chair Patrick McManus – “Scandals, lies, coverups, bullying, and rampant accusations of sexual misconduct. These are the defining traits of Andrew Cuomo’s tenure as Governor. This is unacceptable to the families of The Bronx and families across New York State. Enough is enough. Albany needs to be cleaned up and Lee Zeldin is the man for the job. Whether it’s in the US Army reserves or the halls of Congress, Lee Zeldin serves his country with respect and integrity every single day. He will be a Governor New Yorkers can be proud of.”

Broome County Conservative Party Chair Aaron M. Martin – “The report that New York will lose another Congressional Representative in Washington, DC is just the most recent evidence that one party rule in Albany has failed and continues to accelerate the decline of our state,” said Broome County Conservative Party Chairman Aaron Martin. “We need new Executive leadership in Albany to get back on the right track. Lee Zeldin is the family man, Veteran and true public servant that can get that job done.”

Cayuga County Conservative Party Chair David Pappert – “We are making these endorsements now, because the upcoming race for Governor is crucial. For decades outrageous taxing, spending, and borrowing have driven New Yorkers from their homes to lower tax states. Now, with single party control, the Democratic majority has added shocking social policies into the mix, including extremely dangerous reductions in the use of cash bail, and efforts to defund police departments. At the same time they work to allow serious criminals to remain on the street, the Democratic majority does everything possible to limit gun ownership and carry rights for law abiding citizens. Democrats have also implemented heinous abortion laws demonstrating outright hostility to the rights of the unborn. At the head of this single party mess sits Andrew Cuomo, a man who ordered Nursing Homes to accept COVID-19 positive residents, likely causing many thousands of preventable deaths,  then covering up the deadly results of his order. Add to this his reprehensible personal conduct towards women and staffers and it is easy to see why New York State government is viewed as a joke. This must change. The most effective way to make this change is by electing Congressman Lee Zeldin as our next Governor. Lee Zeldin is a combat veteran, an accomplished Congressman, and a family man who holds himself to the highest ethical standards. Lee Zeldin is Pro-Life, Pro-Second Amendment, Pro-Law Enforcement, and has the ability to work across the aisle to get common sense reforms working for New York. Very importantly Congressman Zeldin is a proven fund-raiser, and winner, who can make the change New York needs happen. We are proud to endorse Lee Zeldin for Governor of New York, and encourage all New Yorkers who know we need a change, to Stand With Lee.”

Chemung County Conservative Party Chair Louis DeCicco – “As New York sees a massive surge in crime, closures of small businesses and working class families being taxed out of their homes, where is Andrew Cuomo?  He’s too busy raking in millions of dollars from his corrupt book deal, and hiding from the scandals that have come to light over the past few months. Our state can’t continue on like this. The Chemung County Conservative Party is proud to endorse Congressman Lee Zeldin for governor because as a veteran and dedicated public servant, Lee has shown that he will work for all New Yorkers, 24/7 365 days a year. He is the only candidate who can get us back on the right path, and save our state.”

Dutchess County Conservative Party Chair Don Minichino – “Lee is with us on the issues and our platform of smaller government, fiscal responsibility, repeal of the safe act, pro life, pro small business, pro law enforcement to name a few. He’s stead-fast on restoring New York as the great Empire State and his record in congress proves he won’t crumble when the heat is on. Lee is just what New York needs as its leader in a time where many New Yorkers have lost hope. I’m proud that Lee will be carrying our Torch of Freedom in 2022.”

Erie County Conservative Party Chair Ralph Lorigo, Esq – “One party rule in New York State has been disastrous for Erie County. The New York city liberal agenda has been pushing “One party rule in New York State has been disastrous for Erie County. The New York city liberal agenda has been pushing New York families out of our state at an unprecedented rate. We are in desperate need of new leadership in Albany and Lee Zeldin can deliver a newer, better and brighter future for New York. Lee Zeldin is fighting for a rational economic policy in New York that promotes growth and doesn’t drive our residents away. This is in sharp contrast with Andrew Cuomo’s tax and spend policies that have been damaging our community for over a decade.” New York families out of our state at an unprecedented rate. We are in desperate need of new leadership in Albany and Lee Zeldin can deliver a newer, better and brighter future for New York. Lee Zeldin is fighting for a rational economic policy in New York that promotes growth and doesn’t drive our residents away. This is in sharp contrast with Andrew Cuomo’s tax and spend policies that have been damaging our community for over a decade.”

Genesee County Conservative Party Chair Julie Carasone – “WNY has been ignored by downstate politicians and the Governor. We are only thought of when politicians run for office. We are overlooked when it comes to transportation needs, high speed internet access, protecting our farmers and protecting our 2nd amendment rights. Lee Zeldin won’t ignore us. Coming from a suburban community, he understands our needs and is looking to correct those things to make our communities in WNY the very best. With continuing and growing support from both Republicans and Conservatives, Congressman and Lt. Col Lee Zeldin, will be the only one that can bring WNY and NY, back to being a hub of economic growth and where our hardworking families can thrive. Lee Zeldin is the right person, at the right time, to help save our state.”

Greene County Conservative Party Chair Michael Buttino – “NY needs a leader who will repair the damage caused by the years of the current administration’s mismanagement. Out of control taxes and rising crime are issues that must be addressed, and I believe that Congressman Lee Zeldin is the candidate, who as governor will enable NY to prosper and reclaim its status as the Empire State. Lee Zeldin’s record of service and his fighting spirit are the qualities needed to serve as governor of NY.”

Kings County Conservative Party Chair Frances Vella-Marrone – “Unlike our current Governor, who spends his time writing self-congratulatory books about leadership, Lee Zeldin leads by example. Lee Zeldin has a proven track record delivering for New York during his time in the New York State Senate and in Congress. From delivering much needed aid during the height of COVID-19, to being a fierce advocate for small business, Lee Zeldin stands in stark contrast to the failed policies, leadership, and example of Governor Cuomo and can help to save our state.”

Madison County Conservative Party Chair Christopher J. Kendall, Esq – “I am proud to endorse Congressman Lee M. Zeldin for Governor of New York State. For too long we have seen coverups, bullying, scandals, and more from the Governor’s mansion; hurting New Yorkers. Lee will bring integrity to the office, lower taxes, support our police, and put our state back on the right track.”

Monroe County Conservative Party Chair Don Mazzullo – “New York State is at a crossroads. From ever-higher taxes, the cashless bail system, reduced support for law enforcement, new regulatory burdens on business and a host of other radical proposals, our leaders in Albany seem intent on making life in New York as difficult as possible, and on driving as many of our fellow citizens as possible to seek better opportunities elsewhere. Congressman Lee Zeldin has the fortitude and vision to reverse New York’s decline. With his record of leadership in the military, the New York State Senate and Congress, he is ideally suited to make a last stand for common sense and balance in our state government. Lee Zeldin can and will be the Governor these times demand.”

Nassau County Conservative Party Chair Daniel M. Donovan – “Nassau County residents are being crushed by tax hikes and failed liberal policies like cashless bail. A place that many are proud to call home has become increasingly unaffordable for many looking to plant roots and raise a family. Today, I am excited to endorse fellow Long Islander Lee Zeldin to be the next governor of New York. Time and again, Congressman Zeldin has delivered results for Long Island on the federal Level. Now it is time for him to help save our state.”

New York County Conservative Party Chair Stuart J. Avrick – “New Yorkers are fed up with Andrew Cuomo’s failed liberal policies, corruption and coverups. 3 terms of Andrew Cuomo have hurt our economy and deeply eroded residents’ trust in our state leadership. It’s time for a change. Lee Zeldin can bring us back from the brink and save our state. In the short time since he announced his candidacy, Congressman Zeldin has shown his ability to take on Andrew Cuomo and win in 2022.”

Niagara County Conservative Party Chair William Ross – “If we’re going to right the wrongs of Andrew Cuomo’s reign, New Yorkers will need a leader who is smart, tough, determined and honest. I’m endorsing Lee Zeldin for governor because he encapsulates those important qualities and more. A proud military man, ardent supporter of police, and proven tax fighter, I am confident that Congressman Zeldin will hit the ground running on day one and turn our state around.”

Oneida County Conservative Party Chair Daniel Fitzgerald – “Counties across New York State are struggling, and Oneida County is no exception. Three terms of Andrew Cuomo’s failed policies are crushing our small businesses, and hardworking taxpayers just trying to make a living. Today I’m proud to announce my endorsement of Congressman Lee Zeldin for governor of New York. If we’re going to revitalize our communities and reverse the damage being done, we need a battle tested leader like Lee at the helm of our great state. His record as a New York State Senator and member of Congress has shown without a shadow of doubt that he is the right man for the job.”

Onondaga County Conservative Party Chair Bernard Ment – “Lee Zeldin announced his bid for New York Governor a week and a half ago and, in that short period of time, he has already amassed $2.5 million for his challenge to Andrew Cuomo. We believe that this proves that Zeldin has the chutzpah and the clout to take this fight directly to the voters. Zeldin has popular numbers downstate and if he can keep the momentum going, he should be able to maintain a tight race. An upstate victory will absolutely drive him over the top.  Zeldin has the honesty, integrity and the fortitude to win this race. Therefore, I and the members of the Onondaga County Conservative Party do hereby lend our voices to the chorus clamoring for change in the Empire State. Lee Zeldin has earned our commitment of support.”

Ontario County Conservative Party Chair Reid Robbins – “Andrew Cuomo’s power in Albany has been built upon lies, bullying, harassment, corruption, and coverups. New Yorkers are fed up and ready for new leadership. It’s long past time to tear down his house of cards, and save our state from policies that lack common sense. Today, I am endorsing Congressman Lee Zeldin for Governor of New York State. This fight is not for a political party, this fight is for integrity, for freedom and for our children. Lee’s experience in Congress and the New York State Senate has proven him to be a champion for the people, and I wholly believe he is the right person to turn our state around.”

Orange County Conservative Party Chair John DeLessio – “New York is at a turning point and voters across the state have a choice to make. A scandal covered administration that promotes horrible policy that makes working families struggle and our communities less safe, or a Governor who will get our economy back on track, support our law enforcement, and lead New York by example. The choice is clear for the voters of Orange County, Lee Zeldin for Governor. Lee Zeldin has what it takes to bring our state’s economy back and better than ever before. He will support our law enforcement, cut taxes and help to save our state. The Orange County Conservative committee is behind him 100%.”

Orleans County Conservative Party Chair Paul Lauricella – “The Orleans County Conservative Party unanimously endorses NY Congressman Lee Zeldin as candidate for Governor of New York in the 2022 election. The destructive one party leadership of progressives in this state is causing the smart people with the means to leave to go to well managed law and order states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee among others where they can live free from burdensome regulation and nanny state bureaucrats. Where the money they retire on or earn will go much further. Lee has impeccable credentials and is a combat veteran, a paratrooper and infantry man of the Army’s Elite 82nd Airborne Division having participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Holding many other military titles. The people and businesses are begging for real leadership. Andrew Cuomo and the Democratic Party have failed us miserably and left a path of destruction and real human suffering. Cuomo has ruled as a King, a Tyrant and a Gangster. Cuomo is an embarrassment to our state and our country. We have had enough! Cuomo and any gubernatorial candidate they may put up needs to go!”

Queens County Conservative Party Chair Tom Long –  “The Queens County Conservative Party endorses Congressman Lee Zeldin for Governor. Andrew Cuomo has served 3 terms and the Queens County Conservative Party agreed that the people of Queens need a change. High crime, increased taxes, asinine restrictions…these are the realities that Queens residents are facing under the leadership of Andrew Cuomo. Whether it be self-enrichment, reports of sexual misconduct, and due to his decisions where many people died, he still refuses to accept responsibility for the deaths in nursing homes. The people of Queens need a new leader with common sense policies and steadfast leadership that will change the direction of this state. That person is Congressman Lee Zeldin.”

Richmond County Conservative Party Chair David Mario Curcio – “New York deserves a governor that puts New Yorkers first. Andrew Cuomo has failed at every turn. Instead of fighting for hard working families of Staten Island, he has promoted failed liberal policies that drive our cost of living ever higher. Instead of leading our state through a pandemic, he covered up his disastrous nursing home policy which killed countless seniors, so he could promote his new book. Instead of leading New York ethically by example, he has been accused by scores of women of sexual harassment and misconduct. Lee Zeldin has served his country honorably both in the United States Army and in the United States Congress. He is a family man who understands and will fight for the needs of New York families. New Yorkers can count on Lee Zeldin to save our state.”

Rockland County Conservative Party Chair Simeon Naemit – “Congressman Lee Zeldin has consistently delivered results for New York, and will help save our state. Lee has fought the ‘defund the police’ movement and will make sure residents aren’t forced out of their homes by New York’s high taxes. Cuomo has got to go, and Lee Zeldin is the best choice for the job.”

Saratoga County Conservative Party Chair Robert Zordan – “Lee Zeldin is the right man at the right time to save New York State. Three terms of Cuomo’s corruption, lies, scandals and mismanagement are long enough. Lee is a veteran, devoted father and husband, who will provide the leadership our state desperately needs as the next Governor of New York.”

Schenectady County Conservative Party Chair James Barrett – “New Yorkers can’t take another four years of Andrew Cuomo. He has turned his back on our men and women in blue, and his radical policies like abolishing cash bail have made our streets and communities less safe. If we want to clean up our streets, and show our support for the men and women of law enforcement, New York needs a pro-law enforcement leader like Congressman Lee Zeldin.”

St. Lawrence County Conservative Party Chair Henry “Hank” Ford – “Andrew Cuomo’s radical policies are enriching New York City and crushing working class New Yorkers. Our jobs, our freedoms, and our way of life are under attack. New York needs a strong, experienced leader like Congressman Lee Zeldin to help put our state back on the right track. Lee’s common-sense, pro-working class approach will help our businesses grow, kickstart our economy, and improve the quality of life of all New Yorkers. I know Congressman Lee Zeldin will never forget us here in the North Country.”

Suffolk County Conservative Party Chair Michael Torres – “In Suffolk County, we have had the privilege of being represented by Congressman Lee Zeldin, first in the State Senate and now in Congress, and we’ve witnessed firsthand the results he’s delivered for the Long Islanders he’s served. After our meeting last night, his home county Conservative Party voted overwhelming to lend its full support and endorsement to him as we fight to save our state. There’s no doubt in my mind that Lee Zeldin will restore our state to one we can be proud of.”

Sullivan County Conservative Party Chair Edward A. Magilton – “For far too long, Albany has ignored the priorities of everyday New Yorkers in pursuit of their own radical political agenda. Backing criminals, shutting down our economy, and increasing sky-high taxes come at a steep price for New Yorkers. With a platform of public safety, low taxes, and kick-starting our economy, Lee Zeldin will be a governor who prioritizes the concerns of regular New Yorkers over himself, a stark contrast from those who have reigned in Albany for far too long.”

Ulster County Conservative Party Chair Jack Hayes – “Congressman Zeldin has the courage and stamina to fight for All the People of New York State. Lee Zeldin is morally and ethically fit and will restore honesty, decency, and integrity to the Executive Office. Lee Zeldin will restore the Social Contract and the Public Trust. It is time to end dynasty politics and systemic corruption. The people of the state of New York deserve the respect of their Governor, and Lee Zeldin can and will be The People’s Governor.”

Wayne County Conservative Party Chair Michael Garlock – “Wayne County voters are sick of the higher taxes, dangerous policies that break down law and order, along with the continuous scandals and corruption coming out of Albany. New York deserves better than Andrew Cuomo’s failed leadership. In November of 2022 we have a chance to make a change and elect Lee Zeldin as our next Governor to get New York state back on track. Wayne County deserves someone who will stand up and fight back against the one party rule nightmare in Albany, and that fighter is Lee Zeldin.”

Westchester County Conservative Party Chair Hugh Fox, Jr. – “Radical liberal policies like cashless bail, and massive tax hikes promoted by Andrew Cuomo have hurt our community, making it less safe and less affordable. Lee Zeldin supports law enforcement who protect our communities every day, and has worked to put more money in New Yorker’s pockets. In the short time period since he launched his campaign, I have seen great enthusiasm around Lee’s candidacy, and believe he has what it takes to be the next Governor of our state.”

Bernie McGuirk & Sid Rosenberg – “Congressman Lee Zeldin – our choice for governor – Republican candidate and as you can hear he’s brilliant. He’s smart. He’s got charisma. He’s got all of the things to not just run New York, but who knows one day maybe even something bigger…We love you, Lee. You’re our guy. From today right to the day you go to Albany, you can come onto the show anytime you want and continue to show New Yorkers that you are the right guy for the job.”

Mark Levin – “It’s a big state with a lot of people. You’re starting early. That’s smart. And as you know, folks, I’ve endorsed Lee Zeldin. He’s absolutely terrific. Good luck to you, Sir, and God bless you…”

Congressman Andrew Garbarino – “Having had the opportunity to serve with Lee in Albany and now Washington, I’ve had a front row seat to all he has accomplished for Long Island, and for all New Yorkers. His distinguished record in the military, and as a public official provide a sharp contrast to Andrew Cuomo who continues to battle new scandals almost every day. As Governor, Lee will continue his fight to lower taxes, support our small businesses, protect our environment, support law enforcement and more. Three terms of Andrew Cuomo is enough. Lee is the right candidate at the right time to help save our state.”

Congressman Chris Jacobs – “From the Fingers Lakes to Buffalo, the New Yorkers I serve have had their livelihoods and way of life destroyed by the policies coming out of Albany. They have had enough of Andrew Cuomo grasping onto power by attacking their freedoms. The time is now to save our state. I’ve had the pleasure of serving with Lee in Congress – he is a man of character and deeply cares about our state and its future. I’m proud to support him and believe he will bring needed leadership and change to our state.”

Congressman Jim Jordan – “Lee Zeldin is a conservative and Army veteran who believes New York deserves better… better than Cuomo’s corruption, lies, and failed policies. Lee is a proven leader who has dedicated his life to service and he sure isn’t going to stop now. In the face of Cuomo’s failures, Lee is fighting for New Yorkers and doing what he needs to do to save his state.”

Congressman John Katko – “It’s been an honor to serve our great state with my friend and colleague Lee Zeldin and fight with him to safeguard our homeland, lower taxes and secure a brighter future for all New Yorkers. He’s worked across the aisle for the betterment of his constituents and never backed down when it comes to fighting for them. His grit and unwavering determination is why he has my full support in his mission to fire Andrew Cuomo and bring our state back from the brink.”

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis – “New York was once the envy of the world. Now people can’t get out fast enough. New Yorkers are being attacked in the streets, they’re being regulated out of business, and taxed out of their hard-earned money. This New York is not the New York I love. We need to save our state and it starts by firing Andrew Cuomo and sending Lee Zeldin to Albany. His proven track record of results and life of service is in stark contrast to Andrew Cuomo’s self-serving, self-aggrandising ways and is exactly what we need to restore New York to its former glory.”

Former Congressman Peter King – “People are tired of failed Democrat policies, from cashless bail to sky high taxes, and New Yorkers are fleeing for states where their money goes further, they’re living more free and their public safety is protected. Working alongside Lee Zeldin, I’ve witnessed firsthand his commitment to the New Yorkers he serves, and I know he is the leader to bring New York back from the brink and Save Our State. That’s why I’m proud to support Lee Zeldin for Governor of New York.”

Former Congressman Tom Reynolds – “Andrew Cuomo’s policies have been disastrous for New York. Next November, voters have a chance to end the years of corruption, abuse, and awful policies coming out of Albany, and have a chance to elect a real leader who can turn things around. Today I am proud to announce my endorsement of Congressman Lee Zeldin in his bid for governor.  He’s a proven leader who has shown time and time again that he’ll never stop fighting for the people he serves, and he’s willing to work with anyone, anywhere to get things done. That’s exactly the kind of leadership we need in Albany to reverse the years of decline and bring prosperity back to New York.”

Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola – “New York today is less safe, more expensive and plagued by scandal after scandal. Upstate has completely been forgotten. It is time for a change in the Governor’s mansion, and that change starts with Lee Zeldin.”

Rensselaer County Sheriff Pat Russo – “Too many residents do not feel safe in their homes or communities because of failed policies like Bail Reform. Change after change in our laws has allowed criminals to gain the upper hand and hurt our state and our residents. That is why we need Lee Zeldin as our next Governor, because he recognizes the need to make New York safe.r”

Rensselaer Mayor Mike Stammel – “New Yorkers have lost faith in their state government because the state has become captive to downstate progressive interests. Upstate communities do not get the attention they deserve or need and we believe that will change with Lee Zeldin as our Governor.”

Captain Joe Paradiso – President of the New York Sportfishing Federation, Tom King –  President of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSPRA), Jim D’Onofrio – Executive Director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance, John Cushman – President of the Sportsmen’s Association for Firearms Education and Director of the NYSPRA, John Mantione – Former President and Current Spokesman for the New York Fishing Tackle Trade Association – “The Sportsmen’s community is millions strong in New York and we will have Lee Zeldin’s back in his campaign for Governor like never before. Lee Zeldin has a proven record of standing with sportsmen across New York, whether it’s the hunting or fishing community or New Yorkers who exercise their Constitutional right to protect themselves and their families. For far too long, New Yorkers’ freedoms have been under attack. We need Lee Zeldin as New York’s next Governor to restore these freedoms and fight for the sportsmen’s community throughout our state.” 

Carl Paladino – “The Democrats controlling Albany are doing everything they can to destroy our state. Enough! They have stripped us of our freedoms and attacked our wallets while Cuomo has gotten rich off the suffering of New Yorkers, lining his pockets with over $5 million in book deal blood money. We need someone who is going to serve New Yorkers, not self-serve and self-praise like this while New Yorkers die. He single handedly issued an edict that killed thousands of elderly citizens. Why are there no prosecutors willing to pursue charges against him for criminally negligent homicide? We have one last chance to save our state and to do so we need to end Andrew Cuomo’s reign of terror and send Lee Zeldin to Albany.”

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo – “Serving as Secretary of State, I’ve seen how weak leaders like Andrew Cuomo take advantage of people and of power. Cuomo has abused his office to pass punishing high taxes and erode public safety, and now New Yorkers are fleeing the state. That’s why I’m supporting my good friend Lee Zeldin for Governor. Lee, like me, is a soldier and I’ve known Lee a long time. He’s a family man who will step up and defend New York against the radical left.”
