Hochul Campaign Launches Two New Ads on Zeldin’s Extremism and Ties to Donald Trump
NEW YORK – Governor Hochul’s campaign today released two new ads highlighting Lee Zeldin’s far-right extremism and ties to Donald Trump. The ads, “Fought For” and “Choices,” contrast Zeldin’s MAGA agenda with Governor Hochul’s strong record of delivering for New Yorkers.
The ads are part of a seven figure media buy exposing Zeldin’s loyalty to Trump and further emphasizing how out of touch Lee Zeldin is with New Yorkers. Just this week, text messages revealed Lee Zeldin conspired with the Trump White House and laid out a plan to help overturn the 2020 presidential election results, showing just how far he’ll go to protect Trump at New Yorkers’ expense.
DONALD TRUMP: Lee fought for me very, very hard.
NARRATOR: He’s talking about Lee Zeldin, one of Trump’s strongest allies.
LEE ZELDIN: President Trump, I stand with him, I support him.
NARRATOR: Zeldin voted with Trump too, nearly 90% of the time.
NARRATOR: Against tougher gun laws and for extreme anti-abortion laws.
NARRATOR: Zeldin even voted to overturn the 2020 election to keep Trump in power.
LEE ZELDIN: I stand with him, I support him.
NARRATOR: Lee Zeldin — he’s extreme and dangerous.
GOVERNOR HOCHUL: The stakes in this election couldn’t be higher.
GOVERNOR HOCHUL: Lee Zeldin says he wants abortion outlawed. He’d repeal New York’s common sense gun laws, and he even voted to overturn the 2020 election.
GOVERNOR HOCHUL: That’s who he is, but it’s not who we are as New Yorkers.
GOVERNOR HOCHUL: I’ve protected abortion rights, invested in our schools, and enacted tough new laws to keep illegal guns off our streets.
GOVERNOR HOCHUL: As your governor, I’ll keep listening to you and fighting like hell for you every single day.
