New York’s GOP chairman says having a Republican majority in the state legislature after the November general election will limit state spending.
Nick Langworthy says New York is a one-party state led by New York City progressives.
“What we saw in Albany last year was a crime against the taxpayers of this state. What we saw in just short order with a legislature completely run by a new brand of Democrats, which are AOC wannabes, is really what we have running the show in the state Assembly and the state Senate.”
Republicans held the state Senate for nearly a century, until last November when the GOP lost eight seats and the majority.
Meanwhile, Suffolk County Republicans say the November general election is their best chance to regain the majority in the county Legislature.
Minority Leader Tom Cilmi says voting Republican means controlling county spending and reduced taxes.
“The county executive likes to point to $300,000 that he’s saved taxpayers over the eight years of his tenure in reduced salary that he’s taking in contribution to his health plan. Meanwhile, he has wasted millions and millions of dollars on unnecessary spending and bad decisions.”
Democratic incumbent Steve Bellone is being challenged by Republican John Kennedy for county executive. Kennedy now serves as county comptroller.
The general election is November 5.
