NEW YORK – Today, Saritha Komatireddy’s campaign for Attorney General announced the endorsement of John J. Faso, former Member of Congress for New York’s 19th Congressional District (2017-2019) and former New York State Assembly Minority Leader (1998-2002).
In his endorsement, Faso said, “So, in this year, perhaps more than in past years, it is critical that our party select the candidates for office that give us the greatest chance at victory and will represent our party most effectively in those roles. In the race for Attorney General, I believe that candidate is Saritha Komatireddy.
In addition to Saritha’s sterling record, I believe her vision for the office is in alignment with the philosophies of New York Republicans and many Independents, and even many Democrats in our state. Saritha is smart, experienced, and ready to take on this important role as AG. She can attract new voters to our party, those who believe in opportunity for all, not based on race or ethnicity, but in a common belief in the values that have endured in this nation for 250 years.
. . .
New York deserves better from its AG, and I believe Saritha is the candidate we must nominate to give us the greatest chance of winning in November and creating a New York that is safe for our children and grandchildren. Please join me in supporting Saritha for Attorney General. She is the best candidate for the future of the Empire State.”
Following this endorsement, Komatireddy said, “I am honored to receive Congressman Faso’s support and endorsement in my race for Attorney General. Congressman Faso has spent decades serving New York, and he understands the need to keep our streets safe while standing up for the rule of law. His experience, judgment, and dedication to public service reflect a deep commitment to our state, and I’m grateful for his support.”
