FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tuesday, June 24, 2025

Saratoga N.Y., – Today, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement:

“Under Kathy Hochul’s catastrophic failed leadership of the NY Democrat Party, a radical, Defund-the-Police, Communist, raging Antisemite will most likely win the New York City Democrat Mayoral primary. 

Make no mistake, it is BECAUSE OF Kathy Hochul and the NY Democrat Party’s inept weakness and sheer incompetence that this has happened. Kathy Hochul and NY Democrats have fully embraced Marxism, antisemitism, anti-capitalism, and sheer insanity. 

New Yorkers understand that Kathy Hochul and Far Left Socialist Democrats are destroying our great state with sanctuary state and defund the police policies, high taxes, and raging antisemitism combined with failed, ineffective, and bloated government paid for by hardworking New Yorkers. 

Voters will say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH next year. 

Kathy Hochul, the Worst Governor in America, you just got a Communist antisemite elected as the Democrat nominee for Mayor of New York City. You have refused to disavow his dangerous rhetoric and policies and you will be held accountable by New Yorkers. 

And mark my words, Kathy Hochul, we are going to fire you in 2026 to SAVE NEW YORK.”
