We’re on the ballot thanks to many volunteers

I want to extend my sincere thanks to the members of the Republican Committee for their outstanding work in securing ballot access for our federal, state, and local candidates this year. In just four short weeks—through winter weather, long days, and true grassroots effort—you delivered an extraordinary result, submitting more than 58,000 signatures across every level of government. 

Each signature represents a conversation, a connection, and a shared belief in a stronger, safer, and more affordable Suffolk County. 

I also want to recognize the leadership of Chairman Jesse Garcia and his staff, whose dedication and direction helped unite this effort and drive it to success. Because of you, we are not only on the ballot—we are in position to win. Thank you for your hard work, your commitment, and your belief in our mission.
