NRCC Statement on NY-19 Primary Election

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released the following statement on New York’s 19th Congressional district primary election:

“Retread candidate Josh Riley’s only goal is to serve Josh Riley, which is why he district shopped from the comfort of his mansion in D.C. Every other sentence out of Josh Riley’s mouth is a lie, whether it’s about his residency, his pledge to run a grassroots campaign or anything pertaining to Rep. Molinaro’s record. Meanwhile, Rep. Molinaro has proven himself as a bipartisan member who puts the needs of NY-19 before all else. That is why he will be re-elected this November.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Savannah Viar

Background: 

• Josh Riley first ran for Congress in Central New York after leaving his fancy D.C. law firm. 
• Josh Riley has taken millions of dollars from PACs and D.C. insiders after pledging to run a “grassroots campaign.” 
• Rep. Molinaro was ranked the 2nd most bipartisan member of Congress.
