NY's new GOP Chair Ed Cox: 'We are on the offensive'
After weeks of speculation, Ed Cox was officially reelected to serve as chair of the state Republican party on Monday. Cox led the party from 2009 to 2019 but decided against running for reelection after a poor showing for Republicans in 2018. He went on to work on his frenemy former president Donald Trump’s reelection campaign.
Now Cox has returned to lead the party and hopes to build on the Republican Party’s gains on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley in the 2022 election cycle. Cox’s return coincides with Democrats’ launch of a high-dollar effort to retake control of Congress in 2024 – starting with six GOP seats in New York. The new chair also has high hopes to disrupt the Democratic supermajorities in Albany, while arguing Senate Democrats rejecting Gov. Kathy Hochul’s nominee for chief judge, Hector LaSalle, was a strike to the “essence of democracy.”
Fresh off of his reelection win, City & State caught up with Cox to discuss his decision to return to the helm of the state Republican party and his vision for the party as the 2024 election cycle heats up.
