Dear Friend,
If it's a day that ends in "Y" it means that New York Democrats are scheming ways to rig the election this November, while completely ignoring the rampant violent crime and crushing inflation. Voters are completely fed up with their record of failure and the constant rampage of violent attacks all over New York. They have spent all their time breaking the law and trying to rig our elections to give them permanent control. New York Republicans are on a mission to STOP crime, keep criminals in jail and put an end to Democrats' illegal tactics.
Despite voters soundly rejecting their attempt to create permanent mail-in voting last year, the New York Democrat Party engaged in a dirty tricks mailer, by sending Democrats absentee ballot applications under a hidden banner designed to make it look like it was an official mailer from the state telling voters to vote by mail to ensure public health. Democrats even took the egregious step of filling out the ballot application and pre-checking the reason the voter needed an absentee ballot saying they had a temporary illness that was a fear of covid. NO ONE should fill that out except the voter themselves. Democrats' mailer is a shady dirty trick that takes advantage of voters and puts them in a position of potentially lying on this form. Even the bipartisan Carter-Baker report on election integrity determined mail-in voting is rife with fraud and leads to voter coercion and ballot harvesting.
Democrats are trying to stack the deck and run out the clock. Kathy Hochul remains in hiding, refusing to debate Lee Zeldin because she can't answer for her failures or corruption. Lee Zeldin has committed to one debate in every region of this state but it's mid-September and Hochul is following in her corrupt mentor's footsteps and hiding from the voters. All New Yorkers deserve to hear what each candidate plans to do to make our state more affordable, end Albany's rampant corruption and restore safety to our communities.
Safety is on the minds of many voters as this week saw another devastating crime that stole the life of 9/11 hero and FDNY Lt. Alison Russo-Elling who was brutally stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack while on duty getting a meal in Queens. Alison survived 9/11 only to be murdered by a depraved lunatic roaming free on our streets thanks to Kathy Hochul and Democrats' soft on crime policies. They don't care how much blood is shed--they only care about preserving their power and appeasing the radical left. Crime is on the ballot this year and all voters should use their voices in this election to stand up for those who no longer have one.
Our job from now to Election Day is to keep the momentum building and keep recruiting more New Yorkers into our mission to #SaveOurState. My challenge to you is to forward this email along to 10 friends and invite them to sign up for our newsletter on our website: www.nygop.org. With your continued support and efforts, we will wake up on November 9th to a new era for New York that will save our state for the next generation.
Sincerely,

Nick learned the values of hard work and service to the community from his own family. It is that commitment to service which is driving him to serve as our next Member of Congress.
Nick’s father was a Nassau County Police Officer, his grandfathers were NYPD officers, and his stepfather served in the Navy. His mother, while working at Grumman assigned to the F-14 program, brought home U.S. Navy Tomcat models. Those models, and his family’s longtime service to the community, had an impact on both Nick and his brother. Nick’s brother Dan is a retired Marine Sniper who earned a Bronze Star with Valor for his service in Fallujah, Iraq. Nick also went on to serve. While a Senior in high school Nick applied to one of the few coveted spots at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Selected for academic record and leadership, Nick attended and earned his degree from Annapolis. Nick entered the Navy and attained the rank of Lieutenant. Serving our nation in uniform, Nick was sent overseas on three separate occasions, deploying to twenty countries. After his Naval career protecting our nation, and with it Long Island, Nick returned home. He then went to work continuing his public service. In 2013, Nick was appointed to the Amityville Board of Trustees and successfully ran for election in 2014 and re-election in 2015.
As a Trustee, Nick maintained a focus on reducing the tax burden on Amityville’s families and businesses, while improving village services and the viability of the Village’s downtown and beach. As the Village’s Budget Officer, he helped craft four consecutive budgets that comply with the 2% property tax cap, without eliminating any village services. In 2015 and 2016, following budgets which provided significant surpluses, the Village received upgrades from Moody’s and S&P credit rating agencies.
As our next Member of Congress, Nick will fight once again for our families on Long Island. Nick will never forget that he is there to serve.

‘It’s not stopping’: Parents of murdered FDNY EMT slam skyrocketing violence in NYC
New York Post
The elderly parents of the FDNY lieutenant stabbed to death in an unprovoked Queens attack bashed surging violence in the city Friday, saying “it’s not stopping” and is “costing people their lives.” Paramedic Alison Russo-Elling, 61, phoned her mother and father daily to check in on them but didn’t get the chance Thursday – when a madman fatally stabbed her 19 times in Astoria, grieving mom Catherine Fuoco, 85, told The Post. “Every day she called. Yesterday, she didn’t call,” Fuoco said, with her husband Frank, 87, sitting behind her in a wheelchair in the couple’s Commack, LI, home. “It’s a terrible, terrible thing that had to happen to her, and it’s not stopping, that’s the bad part,” Fuoco said of crime. “It’s continuing, and it’s costing people their lives. It’s seems there’s no escaping it. “People who work in the city don’t want to go into the city anymore because of what’s happening, not only on the subways [but] on the streets,” she added. “They’re groping women. There are naked men. They’re doing all kinds of dastardly deeds.”

Pay-to-play charges dog Hochul in final weeks of election season
Lockport Union-Sun
A powerful lawmaker on Tuesday called allegations that Gov. Kathy Hochul’s campaign improperly benefited from a sweetheart deal with a state vendor “alarming,” but said the Senate Investigations does not probe charges of criminality. Sen. James Skoufis, D-Orange County, has been under pressure from GOP lawmakers to use the Investigations Committee’s subpoena power to conduct an investigation into the state’s decision to pay $637 million to a New Jersey-based vendor, Digital Gadgets, for approximately 52 million COVID-19 rapid antigen testing kits. The contracts with Digital Gadgets were approved by state officials without competitive bidding at a time when Hochul had granted herself special emergency powers to manage the pandemic. Those emergency powers allowed contracts to be finalized by the Hochul administration without review by the state comptroller’s office. Hochul’s campaign in recent months has received some $330,000 in donations from the owner of Digital Gadgets, Charles Tebele, and others associated with the company, according to published reports. The state contracts with Digital Gadgets were first spotlighted by the Albany Times Union newspaper. Said Skoufis: “The reports I have read in the Times Union and elsewhere are alarming, and there’s no question about it.”

NY GOP Chair Accuses Democrats of Attempting to Rig The Election
Erie News Now
“Over the course of the last few days, we’ve received an outpouring of calls from voters who are absolutely outraged over a mailing they received. New York state Democrats sent out and paid for a mailer that was made to look like it was an official document for New York State and it was called the ‘New York State Voter Assistance Program’ from VoteNY,” claims Langworthy. Langwothy claims this mailing had COVID-19 already checked as the reason for requesting an absentee ballot. “This mailing is designed to deceive voters,” says Langworthy. “And it’s outright dishonest by pre-checking their reason for needing an absentee ballot. No one should fill out that box but the voter who’s requesting it. And in fact, the ballot application reads, ‘I am requesting in good faith, an absentee ballot due to’ and then the voter selects the reason. This is possibly fraudulent, but at the very least it’s a shady dirty trick that takes advantage of voters and it leads them to possibly lying on this application and an official document.”

Zeldin rejects Gov. Hochul’s bid to have just one debate right before election
New York Post
Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin on Thursday shot down as “unacceptable” Gov. Kathy Hochul’s bid to have only one debate before the election, saying her response was woefully inadequate for New York state voters to hear their positions on important issues. “I am rejecting that offer and I am suggesting that the governor needs to come back with an offer to do multiple debates across the entire state,” Zeldin said during a press briefing. “One debate is unacceptable. I’m calling on Kathy Hochul to come out of hiding.” After facing “Scaredy Kat” criticism for weeks, Hochul on Wednesday finally agreed to face Zeldin on Oct. 25, at a debate co-sponsored by Pace University and cable TV’s Spectrum News NY1 — just four days before the start of early voting on Oct. 29. Zeldin has previously accepted offers by CBS-2 and PIX-11 to debate Hochul on TV.

California paid 45 percent less for tests supplied by Hochul donor
Times Union
Last winter, New York and California bought rapid, at-home coronavirus tests that were exactly the same. But California paid about 45 percent less per test than what New York had spent, records show. If New York had paid the same price, the state would have saved $286 million. The Times Union reported last week that Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration bought 52 million of the "Carestart" tests, manufactured by the New Jersey-based firm AccessBio, for $637 million — paying an average of $12.25 per test.
Unlike California, New York purchased the tests through an intermediary, New Jersey-based distributor Digital Gadgets, LLC, a company owned by a New York City family that has donated nearly $300,000 to Hochul’s campaign. California bought the tests directly from AccessBio and paid far less, though California is nearly 3,000 miles away from the company's main manufacturing site.
