CLF Congratulates John Faso in New York’s 19th District Election

WASHINGTON – Congressional Leadership Fund (@CLFSuperPAC) President Mike Shields issued the following statement in response to the election results in New York’s 19th Congressional District. CLF spent over $3.7 million in independent expenditures in the NY-19 race on TV advertising, online advertising, mail and GOTV ground game efforts.

“Congratulations to John Faso on his hard-fought victory. John Faso is just the kind of independent, pragmatic leader Hudson Valley families need in Congress. The Congressional Leadership Fund is proud to have supported John Faso and played a role in defining the clear contrasts in this race. Hudson Valley voters can look forward John Faso’s leadership in Congress to keep Washington in check and stand up first and foremost for their security and prosperity.”
