NEW YORK CITY  — NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement:

“Diamant Hysenaj is exactly the kind of candidate who can help grow and strengthen the Republican Party in New York. His story — coming to America as a child refugee from Albania, building a successful business, and creating jobs for New Yorkers — is the American Dream in action.

“Diamant understands the challenges facing working families in the Bronx and Queens because he has lived them. He is focused on the issues that matter most: lowering costs, supporting small businesses, restoring public safety, and expanding opportunity for every community.

“For too long, New York’s 14th District has been represented by someone more interested in building her own celebrity than delivering results for her constituents. The people of the Bronx and Queens deserve a representative more focused on the money in their pockets than the followers on her Instagram account.

“Republicans are serious about competing and winning in every corner of this state, including New York City. With the support of our local county organizations and Republicans united behind his campaign, I am proud to endorse Diamant Hysenaj for Congress in New York’s 14th District.”
