DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján released the following statement to congratulate Anna Throne-Holst on her primary victory in New York’s 1st Congressional District:
“Lee Zeldin has gone out of his way to prove he is far too conservative for this district by wrapping his arms around Donald Trump, appearing with fringe right-wing groups, and calling President Obama a racist. Long Islanders are ready for a change. I congratulate Anna Throne-Holst on her hard-fought win, and know she has the background and wide-ranging experience to bring desperately needed leadership to this district.”
