Brooklyn, Westchester, Rockland, and Bronx GOP Chairmen Endorse Rick Lazio

New York, NY - Lazio 2010 announced today the endorsement of Brooklyn Republican Chairman Craig Eaton, Westchester Republican Chairman Doug Colety, Rockland Republican Chairman Vincent Reda, and Bronx Republican Chairman Jay Savino:

Kings County Republican Chairman Craig Eaton said, "I enthusiastically endorse Rick Lazio for Governor. We need someone who will bring sweeping change and reform to Albany and Rick is the only candidate in the race who will do just that. He stands up for what he believes in. He always supported lower taxes and lower spending, and he opposes civilian trials for terrorists in New York City. I am excited to hit the campaign trial for Rick and I am confident he will be our next Governor."

Westchester County GOP Chairman Doug Colety said, "Westchester County saw in 2009 how the voters responded to a message of lower taxes, less government, and fiscal responsibility when they elected Rob Astorino County Executive. In 2010, history will repeat itself when Rick Lazio is elected Governor of the state of New York. I am proud to stand with Rick as he is the only candidate for governor who will stand up to the status quo in Albany. We need sweeping change so we can get New York back on track. I enthusiastically endorse his candidacy and urge my fellow New Yorkers to get behind Rick Lazio for Governor."

Rockland County GOP Chairman Vincent Reda said, "I'm supporting Rick Lazio for Governor because I believe he's the only candidate in the race committed to the type of change our state government desperately needs. He'll stand up for lower taxes and lower spending. He'll fight the special interests by putting the people first. The overwhelming Democratic majority in Albany has failed and it's time for an outsider with new ideas to take the helm. A Lazio administration will benefit Rockland County in so many ways. I am proud to endorse him for Governor."

Bronx County GOP Chairman Jay Savino said, "I am endorsing Rick Lazio for Governor because he has what it takes to turn New York around. We need someone who will stand up to the special interests and fight for sweeping fundamental change. I applaud his stance on opposing holding terrorist trials here in New York. We need more leaders like Rick Lazio and I am happy to help get him elected Governor."

Rick Lazio said, "Change is on the march. Across this country and across this state, people are demanding real change. People are sick and tired of what government has become. Government overreaches, overtaxes and overspends. Our current structure of government is fundamentally broken. It cannot stand. I will be the voice of the great silent majority that is standing up and saying that they have had enough. With the help of my good friends Chairmen Eaton, Colety, Savino and Reda, we will bring our message of fundamental, sweeping reform of government to every corner of this state. Together we will take back our government. We will reduce spending. We will cut taxes. We will grow jobs. We will return government to the people, and make New York the Empire State once again."
