ALBANY — NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement:

“Ralph Ambrosio is exactly the kind of battle-tested, principled
leader who can deliver the change Upstate New York desperately needs.
His life is a testament to service and integrity—from his time in the
U.S. Navy during the Vietnam era to his 23 years of dedicated service
with the New York State Police. Ralph has spent his career on the
front lines, whether patrolling our streets or serving as a prosecutor
and Assistant Attorney General to ensure justice for New Yorkers.

“Ralph understands the crisis of confidence facing our nation today
because he has spent his life protecting our communities. His platform
is built on the common-sense priorities that resonate with every
working family in the 20th District: lowering the crushing cost of
living through tax cuts, unleashing our domestic energy potential to
drive down utility bills, and restoring public safety by permanently
securing our borders and fully supporting law enforcement.

“For the last two decades, New York’s 20th District has been
represented by a career politician who has become a permanent fixture
of the Washington establishment. Paul Tonko’s decades of failure have
left Upstate New York in decline, characterized by soaring costs and
radical rhetoric that undermines our law enforcement and national
security. The people of Albany, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, and
Schenectady counties deserve a representative who is more focused on
the prosperity of their families than on maintaining the status quo in
D.C.

“Republicans are united and serious about winning across the Empire
State. With his extensive background in law enforcement and his
commitment to national renewal, I am proud to endorse Ralph Ambrosio
for Congress in New York’s 20th District.”
