HOPEWELL JUNCTION – The State Conservative Party has already gone on record supporting Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin for governor in next year’s election and with sexual harassment allegations against Andrew Cuomo, Conservative Chairman Jerry Kassar believes Zeldin’s chances of winning have improved.
Kassar met with the executive committee of the Dutchess County Conservative Committee on Wednesday and said the political landscape in New York is changing.
“I am very comfortable in believe in and supporting what I think will be a win by Lee Zeldin, and if (Attorney General Letitia) James runs for governor, we have great opportunity on attorney general,” he said. “The landscape in New York is changing; we see it. It’s an opportunity; opportunities in politics have to be taken. They don’t drive to your doorstep; you have to go to them, and I think those opportunities are emerging.”
Kassar believes if Cuomo does not want to go through the legislative impeachment process, he will resign.
