(Shirley, NY) Today, Michael Long, Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party, announced his endorsement of Senator Lee Zeldin as his candidate of choice for New York’s First Congressional District.
Chairman Long had this to say about Senator Zeldin:
The First Congressional District could not ask for a better representative than Senator Lee Zeldin. He not only embodies the values of New York’s Conservative Party, both personally and professionally, he has an acute understanding of the importance of preserving the rights and traditions laid out by our nation’s founding fathers. And not only does he understand them, he actually put his money where his mouth is and fought for them in the U.S. Army. The fact that he was raised in the Congressional District, coupled with his experience as a military officer, former federal prosecutor and State Senator makes him uniquely-suited for the position,” said Chairman Long. “Senator Zeldin is an independent thinker who’s not afraid to make the tough decisions that are so lacking in DC right now. With Lee as our candidate, we have the opportunity to open new dialogue and shape policy. He is exactly the sort of new blood and fresh perspective we need to put an end to the D.C. chaos.
In accepting the endorsement, Senator Zeldin said, “I am encouraged by the backing of Mike Long, Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party. I know that with his support, we can change the culture in Washington for the betterment of our communities. There are so many challenges facing America. We share the values that are desperately needed to improve our government and I will work tirelessly to bring them to D.C.”
