ALBANY – NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement:

“While we did not secure the outcome we hoped for, I want to extend my deepest congratulations to Mike Sapraicone on a campaign well fought. Mike stepped up at a critical time for our state and ran with determination, passion, and a deep love for the people of New York. His commitment to public service and to the values we share as Republicans—law and order, fiscal responsibility, and common-sense leadership—was clear every step of the way.

“Though this race has ended, Mike’s voice will continue to be an important one in the fight for a safer, stronger New York. I know that he will remain a steadfast advocate for our values, and I am proud of all that he and his dedicated team accomplished in this campaign.”
