New York–February 19th…New York Republican Chairman Nick Langworthy today announced his endorsement of Dan Stec for the state senate in the 45th district. Stec currently serves in the state assembly and is running in the seat currently held by retiring Senator Betty Little.

“Dan Stec is a strong and effective voice for the hardworking taxpayers of this state,” said NYGOP Chairman Nick Langworthy. “Whether it’s leading the fight to reverse the disastrous bail and discovery laws or his work on behalf of property taxpayers and small businesses, Dan delivers results for his constituents. He’s exactly the kind of champion we need fighting for a return to common sense in New York State, and I’m thrilled to endorse him for state senate.”

“I’d like to thank Chairman Langworthy for his endorsement and words of support,” said Dan Stec. “As the new Chairman, he’s bringing a real, much-needed sense of purpose, leadership and vision to the state GOP. I look forward to working with him in the days, weeks, months and years ahead to bring about the changes needed to make all our communities better, stronger and more vibrant than ever.”

The 45th Senate District has all or part of six different counties. Thus far, Assemblyman Stec has received the official Republican endorsement in four: Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Warren. Langworthy’s endorsement is the latest in a string of Republican endorsements that include dozens of local and state elected officials.
