Statement by Conservative Party State Chairman Jerry Kassar on the Election of Ed Ra as NYS Assembly Minority Leader
“Congratulations to newly elected State Assembly Minority Leader Ed Ra. Having known Ed for many years, I am confident that he will bring the knowledge, experience, and commitment to conservative principles to his role as opposition leader in the Assembly.
As the senior Republican for many years on the Ways and Means Committee, Ed forced the Governor and radical Assembly Majority to be accountable for policies that made NYS unaffordable while driving countless of its citizens away to other states.
Thank you to Assemblyman Will Barclay for your many years of fine service, and once again, congratulations, Minority Leader Ra.”
