NewDems Previously Endorsed Josh Riley in 2022 and Look Forward to Supporting Him in Flipping this Seat Blue in 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund announced its endorsement of Josh Riley for New York’s 19th Congressional District, which is currently held by Republican Congressman Marc Molinaro. In 2022, NewDems endorsed Josh Riley in one of the closest congressional races in the country and the Action Fund is eager to throw its weight behind Josh once again to close this gap and flip this key seat blue.
As a lawyer, Josh has dedicated his career to fighting for hard-working Americans, defending Americans’ essential rights and preserving our Democracy. He’ll bring that same dedication to Capitol Hill when he defeats the GOP incumbent in November 2024.
"As a fifth-generation Upstate New Yorker, Josh Riley has a deep understanding of the needs and priorities of his community,” said New Democrat Coalition Chair Annie Kuster. “Throughout his career, he’s been focused on ensuring all Americans have access to the tools and opportunities they need to earn a good life and thrive and that’s why the NewDem Action Fund is honored to once again endorse his candidacy for Congress. In the House, NewDems are eager to work with Josh to advance policies focused on innovation, the economy, climate change, workforce development and supporting the middle class.”
"New Dems know how to win tough races and deliver real results,” said Josh Riley. “Upstate New York will determine control of the House, and New Dems support shows they won't sit on the sidelines while Marc Molinaro and Kevin McCarthy kill jobs, rip away rights, and cut Social Security. I'm honored to have the support of the most productive and pragmatic caucus in Congress, and I look forward to working alongside them."
