NEW YORK – Today, Alison Esposito, a 25-year veteran of the New York Police Department (NYPD) and former candidate for Lieutenant Governor, launched her campaign for Congress in New York’s 18th Congressional District. Alison issued the following statement regarding her candidacy:
“I’m not a career politician. I am and always will be a cop. I spent my life protecting the people of New York, and when I witnessed one-party, far-left rule turn our streets over to criminals, I knew continuing to protect my fellow New Yorkers meant doing something more.
“Believing New Yorkers deserved leadership that would fight for what was truly important to them, I walked away from my career to run for Lieutenant Governor. During that race, we worked together and created a commonsense wave that swept across New York and flipped the House of Representatives. My commitment to the millions who supported our campaign and what it stood for – securing our streets, providing our children with a quality education, driving down our cost of living and more – has not wavered.
“I have not given up on that vision for our state and country, which is why, today, I am honored to continue the fight by announcing my candidacy for Congress.
“President Biden and his allies in Congress have left our nation a shell of its former self. Our southern border is non-existent, inflation has left families choosing between gas and groceries, and we have relinquished our standing on the world stage. Right now, the Hudson Valley is represented by a defender of President Biden’s failed policies. Instead of fighting for everyday hardworking families, our representative is fighting for his own self-interest. It’s time we have someone who represents our Hudson Valley values.
“I have taken on criminals in the streets of New York, and now it is time to take on the Washington political machine. It’s time to reclaim our American dream and save our beloved state and country.”
