Today, the Association of New York State Young Republican Clubs (NYSYR) released its list of candidate endorsements ahead of the August 23rd Republican primary election for the U.S. House of Representatives. These endorsements are exclusive to Young Republican candidates (not incumbents) who met the association’s criteria as part of the endorsement process.
The NYSYR represents more than 50 community- and campus-based chapters comprising more than 2,000 registered members statewide. We are a diverse coalition of professional operatives, public servants, elected officials, business leaders, young professionals, and students working to recruit, train, and elect a new generation of Republicans across New York.
The list of candidates receiving an endorsement from the NYSYR is as follows…
- NY-03 George Santos
- NY-04 Anthony D’Esposito
- NY-10 Benine Hamdan
- NY-14 Desi Cuellar
- NY-17 Michael Lawler
- NY-18 Colin Schmitt
- NY-23 Joseph Sempolinski
“On behalf of our entire Association, I am proud to announce the endorsement of these superb Young Republicans in their candidacies for the U.S. House of Representatives,” said NYSYR Chairman Peter Giunta. “From Buffalo to Montauk, young New Yorkers are struggling under the regressive policies of one-party rule, and who better to advocate against that failed agenda than Young Republicans who have lived shared experiences and are prepared to buck the status quo. In this critical mission to save our state, we have been given a unique opportunity to overturn the political establishment and elect a new generation of Republican leaders to government. November’s red wave will be brought to you by Young Republicans!”
Earlier this month, the NYSYR released an endorsement for Marc Molinaro, the Republican candidate running in the August 23rd special election for New York’s 19th Congressional District (NY-19). That announcement can be viewed here.
Additionally, it was also announced earlier this month that the NYSYR would launch a statewide deployment, its first of the 2022 cycle, targeting NY-19 on Saturday, August 13th, in Liberty, NY. Young Republicans from around the state will gather at the Liberty Diner (located at 30 Sullivan Avenue, Liberty, NY 12754) for a GOTV rally featuring Marc Molinaro and Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Lee Zeldin, as well as several other Republican candidates and officials.
