ALBANY – NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement:

“Congratulations to Mazi Pilip on a remarkable campaign that fell just short. Mazi was a phenomenal candidate and has a bright future in our party.

“Republicans will win this seat in November when the campaign resets to focus on Joe Biden and Democrats’ disastrous open-borders, soft-on-crime policies, rather than the specific circumstances that brought about this special election.”
