NY: Zeldin launches PAC aimed at increasing GOP turnout among voters of color, younger demographics

Former New York gubernatorial candidate and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) announced on Wednesday that he is launching a political action committee to back candidates who will help increase Republican turnout both among voters of color and younger voters.

Zeldin’s Leadership American Needs PAC aims to support candidates running for office and their outreach to groups like Millennial and Gen. Z voters in addition to communities of color, including Black and Latino voters and Jewish voters. Zeldin will serve as chairman of the PAC.

“Through a deeply committed effort to more enthusiastically engage the cities and suburbs, we were able to flip traditionally Democrat voters, drive the message, and assemble the down ballot success needed to change control of the House of Representatives,” Zeldin said in a statement.

“We will take what we learned in New York, apply it across the country, and help deliver the leadership America needs to confront the challenges of the future.”

Zeldin lost New York’s gubernatorial race against Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) last November, though his defeat was by single digits. The former congressman campaigned heavily on the issue of crime and his performance in the gubernatorial race is credited for helping several key House districts in New York flip from blue to red, including in Long Island.

Younger voters who stand to lose everything in the state and across the country by stupid Republican laws, want this demographic to vote for them?
