Endorsement of Robert Smullen for Congress NY 21
Recently, the Conservative Party made clear that Robert Smullen is our choice for Congress in New York’s 21st Congressional District.
After consultation with Party leaders throughout the district, it became evident that Bob Smullen is the presumptive nominee and the candidate best prepared to represent conservative values in Washington.
Bob is a retired decorated Marine Colonel, a successful businessman, and a proven state legislator. Since first being elected in 2018 to represent the 118th Assembly District, he has maintained one of the highest Conservative ratings in the Legislature. His record reflects a consistent commitment to fiscal responsibility, protecting our borders, supporting law enforcement, strengthening the economy, and defending conservative principles.
He has met with the majority of organized counties in the 21st District, and the enthusiasm is high. The Party wanted to send a strong signal that Bob Smullen will be our nominee.
He will continue the important work of retiring Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, whom we proudly endorsed in every election she entered, and he will be a strong voice for the North Country and all hardworking families in the district. We are excited to support him and look forward to his leadership in Congress.
Ed Ra Elected Assembly Minority Leader
Congratulations to Assemblyman Ed Ra on being elected Minority Leader of the New York State Assembly. Ed has been a steady and principled conservative voice in Albany for years. His voting record speaks clearly. In 2025, he earned a 95 percent Conservative rating, just missing a perfect score. The year before, he earned a 90 percent rating. It is clear that we have a strong conservative representing the minority conference.
As the senior Republican on the Ways and Means Committee, Ed has worked tirelessly to hold the Governor and the Assembly Majority accountable for policies that have made New York less affordable and driven families and businesses out of our state.
I also want to sincerely thank Assemblyman Will Barclay for his many years of service as Minority Leader and for being a great ally to the Conservative Party. His leadership and partnership have meant a great deal to our movement.
I look forward to continuing my relationship with Assembly leadership and working together to advance conservative priorities for the people of New York.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Conservative Party, whether on social media, at events, or in your communities. Your support fuels this movement, and together we will continue fighting for New York’s future.
