Statement from NYGOP Chairman Nick Langworthy on Congressman Lee Zeldin’s Gubernatorial Primary Victory

June 28, 2022

“I offer a huge congratulations to my friend and the next governor of the great state of New York, Lee Zeldin. No one has worked harder to earn this nomination. Congressman Zeldin got in this race early and crisscrossed the state countless times to take his message directly to voters, and they responded resoundingly.

“I congratulate all of the candidates on a hard-fought race, but now that the voters have spoken, it is time for everyone to unite around our shared mission of defeating Kathy Hochul and saving our state.

“Kathy Hochul is right that she is a ‘Joe Biden Democrat’–incompetent and out-of-touch. This election is going to be decided on the economic and crime crises created by one-Party Democrat rule. Voters are ready to deliver a reckoning and will wipe clean the stain of the Cuomo-Hochul reign and usher in a new era of prosperity, safety, and freedom with the Zeldin-Esposito ticket.”
