The Post endorses Marc Molinaro in NY-19 House race

Within the contest for New York’s nineteenth Congressional District, The Submit endorses Dutchess County Govt Marc Molinaro. 

His political profession is a advice in itself. Molinaro was America’s youngest mayor, at 19, in 1995; he did a worthy stint within the Meeting and made a valiant gubernatorial run in 2018 in opposition to the now-disgraced Andrew Cuomo.

Molinaro’s fiscal bona fides — he runs a really tight ship in Dutchess County, reducing taxes whereas creating funds surplus — present he’s prepared and prepared to battle in opposition to the absurd tax-and-spend insurance policies driving inflation up and alternative down nationwide. He pledges to carry fiscal accountability to the federal authorities (and ease the ugly tax burden for New Yorkers into the cut price). 

On the essential challenge of power, Molinaro balances authentic issues in regards to the local weather with recognition of the truth that fossil fuels will play a key function in our financial system for the foreseeable future, and that innovation is fostered by unleashing funding, not strangling it (as does our state’s moronic fracking ban). 

He’s additionally bought an eye fixed on one of many worst parts of our border tragedy: the fentanyl epidemic. Fentanyl has been concerned in the deaths of as many as 14,500 Empire Staters since 2015. Molinaro pushed to focus native regulation enforcement efforts on fentanyl as county exec, and vows to spice up border safety as a way to choking off the entry level for this poison. 

As for the bipartisan chops essential to get something completed on Capitol Hill, Molinaro has them. Have a look at his report on abortion, which reveals that — regardless of private opposition — he respects the overall views of his constituents and the broader public on the problem. Certainly, he expressly backed a regulation to codify abortion rights in New York if the Supreme Courtroom (because it did) tossed Roe v Wade. 

All that is why nationwide Dems are so scared of Molinaro that they’ve resorted to outright lies about him, claiming he “opposes a lady’s proper to a secure, authorized abortion”in an effort to deflect consideration from the actual points dominating voters’ minds: crime and the financial system. (Related scare-mongering helped sink him within the NY-19 particular election in August.) On these, Dem coverage has been a complete failure — which is why Molinaro scares them a lot. 

Josh Riley, his opponent, is a run-of-the-mill Democrat. As of late, which means mouthing pablum about our democracy being “imperiled”and blaming Vladimir Putin and company value gouging for runaway inflation. In different phrases, he’s the final kind of politician — willfully blind and sanctimonious — America wants extra of in Congress. 

Vote for Marc Molinaro on Nov. 8. He’s bought grit, widespread sense and integrity, and is an actual fighter for New York.
