Tea Party Express Endorses Nick LaLota, Andrew Garbarino, George Santos, Mike Lawler, and Colin Schmitt for Congress in New York

For Immediate Release: October 18, 2022

Sacramento, CA: Tea Party Express, the nation’s largest grassroots Tea Party political action committee, is pleased to announce its endorsement of five excellent Congressional candidates: Nick LaLota in New York’s 1stCongressional District, Andrew Garbarino in New York’s 2nd Congressional District, George Santos in New York’s 3rdCongressional District, Mike Lawler in New York’s 17th Congressional District, and Colin Schmitt in New York’s 18thCongressional District. 

Tea Party Express Co-Founder and Chief Strategist Sal Russo said, “We are pleased to support Nick LaLota, Andrew Garbarino, George Santos, Mike Lawler, and Colin Schmitt for Congress because they are all committed to fighting back against the tax-and-spend Democrats in Congress who are destroying our economy with frivolous spending bills.  Between the skyrocketing national debt and record-high inflation, New York has been hit hard by the failed policies of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Joe Biden.

“When the Democrats in the State Legislature produced an obscenely gerrymandered redistricting map, even New York courts thought it was a step too far.  They modified the map to make it much more competitive for Republicans. These five districts are now clearly in our sights, and in this election, we have the opportunity to win these seats in a traditionally Democratic state.
