What They’re Reading: GOP in Big Trouble Following Democratic Victory NY-19

Congressman-elect Pat Ryan’s victory in NY-19’s special election on Tuesday sent shockwaves to Republicans and others who thought Republicans’ plan to serve voters with an extreme agenda and no actual solutions for the challenges Americans are facing would propel them to victory.

Democrats maintain a strong record of delivering results, fighting for the American people and defending freedoms. Republicans have no results, no plan to help people, and have only delivered more government overreach into people’s personal health care decisions.

Voters are energized and ready to reject Republican extremism this November.

DCCC spokesperson Tommy Garcia: 
“Unlike Democrats, the GOP has spent more time measuring drapes than working to deliver for the American people. MAGA Republicans hope voters ignore their dangerous extremism, but NY-19 shows us that voters will reject their extreme agenda.”
