Greg Ball Advances to ‘On the Radar’
New York Candidate Takes First Step toward ‘Young Gun’ Status
Washington- The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has officially announced Assemblyman Greg Ball, candidate in New York’s 19th congressional district, as an ‘On the Radar’ candidate, the first step of its Young Guns program. Founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Young Guns program is a member-driven organization dedicated to electing open-seat and challenger candidates nationwide.
The Young Guns program is designed to assist Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives to achieve goals and benchmarks throughout the election cycle focused on the fundamentals of a winning campaign. By achieving ‘On the Radar’ status, Ball has already proven his ability to build a successful campaign structure and achieve important fundraising goals.
“The NRCC is committed to working with Greg Ball as he continues to meet the rigorous goals of the Young Guns program,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions. “With all that Greg Ball has accomplished in just a few short months, I am confident that he will be successful in his effort to defeat John Hall, who has acted as a mere rubber-stamp for Nancy Pelosi’s reckless anti-jobs agenda.”
Greg Ball has a proven track record of serving New Yorkers best interests in the New York State Assembly. Ball has worked as a leader to vigorously cut spending and reduce the state’s bloated deficit while representing the interests of veterans, labor, and New Yorkers alike. A graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and a retired captain, Ball has served his country with distinction.
The August heat Democrats are facing across the country has helped Ball build momentum and has made this race even more competitive. While already achieving certain benchmarks to place him on the road to victory, Greg Ball now faces a new set of rigorous benchmarks that will help him advance to the next level of the Young Guns program and help him build a competitive, effective and winning campaign.
