SARATOGA, N.Y. – House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement: “In another devastating blow to New Yorkers and their pocketbooks, Kathy Hochul’s single-party Democrat rule has landed New York as the number one most taxed and regulated state in the nation. Kathy Hochul has caused an affordability crisis that has families buckling under the weight of skyrocketing taxes, rent, and utility prices. She’s created such a toxic regulatory environment that businesses are leaving New York in droves. Hochul the Hypocrite’s endorsement of antisemite jihadist Zohran Mamdani means that this vicious cycle of New Yorkers fleeing to other states will only continue so long as she’s at the helm. Next Year, New Yorkers will have the opportunity to SAVE our state and FIRE the Worst Governor in America.” Read the full report HERE.
