Pat Ryan will help keep upstate New York and the House majority blue
Today, the DCCC announced that Pat Ryan has been added to its competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that national Democrats are invested in providing Ryan, a top-tier candidate, the organizational and fundraising support needed to continue developing a strong campaign as he runs for the newly drawn NY-18.
As a decorated combat veteran, small businessman, and county executive, Ryan has dedicated his career to serving and strengthening his community. From creating a jobs-training program for veterans, to spearheading efforts to provide small businesses and residents with financial relief amid the pandemic, to implementing pro-worker policies, Pat has the experience needed to head to Congress and start delivering real results for upstate New Yorkers.
Despite being heavily targeted by the GOP, Ryan’s addition to ‘Red to Blue’ is a clear warning to Republicans that Democrats are working hard to keep NY-18 out of their extreme hands come November.

“Pat Ryan has proven time and time again his strong commitment to serving his community, and he’s ready to take on his far-right opponent to keep this critical New York seat in Democratic hands.”
