Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York continues to roll up endorsements in his bid to challenge Gov. Andrew Cuomo when the politically wounded three-term Democratic governor is up for re-election next year.
Besides what seems like nearly daily announcements of one county or local GOP leader after another supporting the four-term lawmaker who represents New York’s 1st Congressional District in the eastern half of Long Island, Zeldin this past week rolled out a series of congressional endorsements from fellow House Republicans.
They ranged from fellow New Yorker Rep. John Katko, a moderate to voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump – to conservative Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, a top Trump ally in Congress.
