(Long Island, NY) The Zeldin for Congress Campaign, backed by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long, just released the following statement regarding the new untruthful Obamacare attack launched by George Demos:
“This really represents the worst in politics,” said Chapin Fay, Zeldin for Congress Campaign Manager. “George Demos is about to learn, yet again, that making things up will not get you elected to Congress. It is a documented fact that the insurance exchange in New York State is 100 percent federally funded and was created by Governor Cuomo unilaterally in April 2012 after the New York State Senate Republicans, including specifically Senator Zeldin, blocked the 2012 legislation to implement Obamacare. Not one dollar of state funding has been appropriated for New York’s insurance exchange.
Because George Demos is not from the First Congressional District, he underestimates Suffolk County voters who are smart enough to know when they are being deceived. Voters will once again reject George Demos’ crash and burn negative and untruthful campaigning. Senator Zeldin, an honorable military veteran and diligent, principled State Senator who led the fight against Obamacare in New York State will be the Republican Party’s nominee to take on Democrat Tim Bishop.”
New York State Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long said:
“The most recent television ad released by George Demos is nothing more than a desperate cry for attention. While the ad aims to hit Senator Zeldin, its factual inaccuracies and erroneous claims have served only to expose George Demos as a liar. George Demos is the real ‘fraud’ here. He is clearly running another sham campaign and the lies espoused in the ad represent the height of hypocrisy for George Demos. It is ironic given the same special interests pulling Nancy’s Pelosi’s strings are pulling Demos’.
Senator Lee Zeldin has never voted to fund Obamacare. The bill that George Demos referenced, but obviously didn’t read and understand, accounted for the federal funding that came to the state as a result of Governor Cuomo’s executive order in April 2012 to unilaterally create the insurance exchange in New York.
I find it laughable that the accompanying statement made sure to note that Demos has never voted for Obamacare. Of course, he hasn’t voted. He’s never been elected to a public position—there’s a reason for that.
Lee has been a rock solid conservative voice in Albany has never voted to provide funding for Obamacare and is my choice for Congress in the First Congressional District.”
