ALBANY, NY — With early voting set to begin tomorrow across New York, the Association of New York State Young Republican Clubs (NYSYR) announced its third and final round of endorsed candidates for the 2023 election cycle. These endorsements are exclusive to candidates who are Young Republicans (those ages 18 to 40) and now make them eligible to access resources, including financing, digital services, and boots-on-the-ground support.
The NYSYR represents more than 50 county- and campus-based chapters comprising more than 2,500 registered members statewide. It is 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.
In June, NYSYR announced its first round of endorsements, and then in August announced its second round of endorsements. This third round of endorsements brings the total number of endorsed Young Republicans in this year’s general election to 84:

“From Montauk to Buffalo, Young Republicans are stepping up to form a new generation of Republican leadership in New York,” said NYSYR Chairman Peter Giunta. “This year, more than 80 Young Republicans will carry our standard into the ongoing battle to save our state — but, more importantly, this is our chance to take back local control from the out-of-touch, power-craven Democrats. Our efforts here set the stage for next year’s election, where we will marshal this army of Young Republicans to protect our Republican Majority in Congress and fire radical Kirsten Gillibrand.”
