(Long Island, NY) New York State Senator Lee Zeldin, Candidate for U.S. Congress in New York’s First Congressional District, was endorsed today by Long Island Congressman Peter King
“Senator Lee Zeldin is a veteran, former federal prosecutor and dedicated public servant who we need fighting for Long Islanders in Congress. Lee’s character is one of integrity, action and intellect,” said Congressman King. “In Albany, Lee has proven to be in-touch with the people he represents, fighting hard for what matters most to them. While the repeal of the MTA Payroll Tax for eighty percent of the employers in our area was one of his first accomplishments, the creation of the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Program for veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is one of his proudest.”
“Lee would be a welcome addition to D.C. and he couldn’t come at a better time,” Congressman King continued. “An independent and reasoned thinker, he’s exactly the kind of new-blood we need to get Washington back on track. I look forward to having a new neighbor on Long Island, one who has dedicated his life to protecting the freedoms and liberties upon which our nation was built.”
“Congressman King and I have worked remarkably well together during my time in office,” said Lee Zeldin. “I greatly admire his determination to keep Americans safe and free. Congressman King’s leadership with our nation’s homeland security, intelligence and foreign policy efforts, have protected New Yorkers from threats at home and abroad. I am proud to have received his endorsement and I look forward to partnering with him on behalf of the Long Island residents who rely on us to move America forward.”
