| DCCC spokesperson Riya Vashi released the following statement after far-right extremist John Lemondes announced he’s suspending his campaign against Congressman John Mannion:
“John Lemondes saw the writing on the wall and did what Republicans across the country are doing – bailing before voters could reject him. From day one, it was obvious that Central New Yorkers had zero interest in another out-of-touch MAGA Republican who wants to raise costs and gut health care. John Mannion’s proven record of creating jobs, lowering costs, and improving public safety puts him in a commanding position to win reelection — and that’s why New York Republicans are scared to run against him.” |
