While New York’s House Republicans attempt to hide their anti-abortion records on the campaign trail, they all stand with Donald Trump and have already voted to restrict reproductive rights while in Congress.

“Tonight, President Biden spoke directly to the American people about the historic progress of the Biden-Harris Administration from defending freedoms, protecting democracy, helping to create millions of jobs, lowering costs and more. President Biden made it clear that he is the leader New Yorkers need and deserve and laid out his clear vision for the future of our country.

“News flash to MAGA Mike, New Yorker’s overwhelmingly support women's reproductive freedom and the ability to make their own health care decisions,” said NYS Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs. “MAGA Mike’s idea of a seven week ban falls right in line with Trump’s plans for a national abortion ban and is the kind of extreme policy that common sense New Yorkers have time and again rejected. While MAGA Mike is just introducing himself to New Yorkers, his recent rant rejecting New York’s abortion laws and floating a seven week ban tells New Yorkers all they need to know about his extremist views.”

“The fact that Lee Zeldin - who undermined the foundation of our democracy by trying to overturn the will of the voters on January 6 - endorsed this map should give us all pause and require a thorough examination, which the legislature will now do.”

“Since her very first day in office, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has been a relentless champion for New York families, working across the aisle to deliver real results for our state,” said NYS Democratic Committee Chair Jay Jacobs. “From delivering health benefits to 9/11 first responders and our veterans, to passing anti-gun trafficking legislation to bringing home half a billion dollars for local projects, Senator Gillibrand delivers for New York. On behalf of the NYS Democratic Committee, I am honored to designate her as our nominee for Senate and look forward to working with her for years to come.”

Tom Suozzi has a proven record of fighting for his constituents, fighting to safeguard our suburban way of life here on Long Island and Queens and always advocating for sensible solutions to the real challenges affecting every day average Americans. We look forward to working with the Suozzi Campaign, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to restore integrity, competence and a focus on the real needs of our larger community in the Third Congressional District.

“Once again, the so-called GOP moderates have shown us who they really are – extremists caving to the demands of Donald Trump,” said Jay S. Jacobs, Chair of the New York State Democratic Party. “New Yorkers deserve to know – do NY House Republicans support Johnson’s extreme agenda, or are they simply trying to please the twice-impeached former president after he derailed their party’s leadership elections from a Manhattan courthouse during his own civil fraud trial.”

The New York State Democratic Party strongly condemns the “NYC-DSA” whose support of a rally that sought to justify the wholly unjustifiable acts of wanton violence, terrorism, kidnapping and murder that was perpetrated on the people of Israel this weekend.”

“New York Democrats stand united to unequivocally denounce this act of terrorism against the Jewish people and their homeland. I applaud Governor Hochul for her unwavering support of Israel and the affirmation of the special bond of New York with Israel..."

“Today, New York’s vulnerable House Republicans once again rubber-stamped the extreme MAGA Republican agenda,” said Jay S. Jacobs, Chair of New York State Democratic Party. “After telling voters that abortion was a state’s rights issue on the campaign trail, New York House Republicans caved to the extreme wing of their party to deny servicemembers and military families access to vital healthcare. Promises made, promises broken.”
