From Larry Sharpe’s latest press release:
Our campaign to rebuild New York continues to grow stronger every day.
Today, We are proud to announce that Michael Carpinelli will join our campaign as our candidate for Lieutenant Governor of New York. Update: Carpinelli is Sharpe’s pick in the GOP primary race. Due to a conflict with party rules, LPNY voted to instead nominate Mark Braimum at its March 8 State Committee meeting.
Michael is a longtime public servant and law enforcement professional who has spent decades serving and protecting New Yorkers. He understands the challenges our communities face because he has lived them, and he shares our vision of restoring opportunity, affordability, and local control across our state.
“Michael understands the challenges everyday New Yorkers face because he has spent his career on the front lines serving our communities,” I said in announcing the ticket. “He shares our commitment to rebuilding New York by empowering local communities, restoring economic opportunity, and bringing common sense leadership back to Albany.”
– Larry Sharpe
Michael is equally committed to this mission.
“I’ve spent years serving and protecting New Yorkers. During that time, I’ve watched our state decline under decades of establishment Democrats like Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul. I’m proud to join a ticket that is ready to change that and turn New York around.
Larry Sharpe has the ability to build the kind of coalition that past Republican candidates couldn’t. He brings together people from across the political spectrum who simply want a better future for this state. I’m honored to stand with him as his Lieutenant Governor running mate. Together, we will focus on restoring local control, making New York affordable again, expanding opportunity, and rebuilding strong communities.”
