Republican Strategy
"If Republicans do what we promised to do, we will be looking at a great many victories. And not just in 2025 but in the future. We have to make the case to New Yorkers that if they are tired of living in pain here in New York, they cannot keep electing the same politicians that have delivered that pain," said Pinion.
