Lee Secures Conservative Party Endorsement
Submits Over 12,000 Signatures to Qualify for the Republican and Conservative LinesWilliamsville - Today, 26th Congressional District candidate Chris Lee officially secured the endorsement of the New York State Conservative Party. Additionally, Lee announced that he submitted 11,332 signatures, 10,082 more than he needed to qualify for the Republican line on the ballot this fall; he also submitted 1,146 to qualify for the Conservative line, 717 more than required.
“I am grateful to have the support of so many Western New Yorkers,” said Chris Lee. “Working together over the next four months, we will make our shared vision of shrinking Washington and growing Western New York a reality.”
“Chris will fight to make government smaller, preserve conservative values, and restore fiscal discipline in Washington,” said New York State Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long.
“Chris is the kind of leader we need in Congress, someone who knows what it is like to have to meet a payroll and understands the importance of keeping taxes low,” said Erie County Conservative Party Chairman Ralph Lorigo.
“Chris will bring the same values of hard work, honesty, and accountability to Washington that he has practiced throughout his successful business career said Monroe County Conservative Party Chairman Tom Cook.”
“We need strong conservative leaders in Washington to restore fiscal responsibility, and accountability,” concluded Lee. “I look forward to working with Chairman Long and Conservative leaders to move forward with our shared agenda for Western New York.”
