NY-27 GOP County Chairs Meet In Albany To Discuss Collins Situation

The eight county Republican chairs from New York’s 27th Congressional District met Tuesday in Albany to talk strategy after being blindsided by the indicted incumbent a day earlier.

The meeting, which came as the state committee also met at the capital, was originally intended to discuss moving forward with a plan to substitute Rep. Chris Collins on the ballot. In August, Collins suspended his campaign after federal prosecutors charged him with crimes related to insider trading.

Monday, however, the congressman and his attorneys decided it was in their best interest to remain the candidate. Erie County GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy said he and his fellow chairs discussed strategy about how to get out the vote for all their elections, but particularly in NY-27.

“We’re looking forward to, you know, the next week or so, discussing things maybe with Congressman Collins team to see what their plans are for his campaign,” he said.

showing how a real people's candidate performs. He'll be a rising star in the House, and he'll break the republican machine's hold on Western New York if we can get him in office. He's dynamic, enthusiastic, and outspoken; a local guy who's running a campaign marathon right up 'till election day. Upbeat, energetic, smart, and outspoken - he doesn't mess around in calling out republican criminal hypocrisy.
