Republican Congressman Chris Jacobs, who represents New York’s 27th district and announced his candidacy for New York’s 23rd district in May 2022, announced Friday he will no longer be running for the new district.
Jacobs recently spoke out against the sale of AR-15s following the white supremacist mass shooting at the Jefferson Avenue Tops Markets location in Buffalo. Conservatives seek primary challenger after Jacobs’ gun reform comments
Tompkins County legislator MIke Sigler announced Tuesday he would be challenging Jacobs for NY-23 in the primary. News 4 also confirmed Ellicott Development Co. chair and former candidate for governor Carl Paladino plans to run, now that Jacobs is out of the race.
The full press conference can be live streamed above. This article will be updated following the stream.
Good riddance.
Likely he will vote with the Dems for the rest of his term knowing his career is over.
One less Assistant Democrat.
It’s the most Republican district in the entire Democrat-gerrymandered state, which means we can do a lot better than Squish Jacobs. If there’s a conservative *anywhere* in NY, let them know because this is the district where one might actually be able to win.
Sorry Surrender Monkeys but this is a sharp reminder that we mean business. Let other weak kneed Republicans that are still hanging around take note. Stand up for our rights or get lost.
The RINOs are dropping like flies! (Either in the primaries or otherwise. Handwriting is on the wall.)
He had world-class ethical issues even by the lamentable standards of DC
Another weak-kneed RINO bites the dust.
If only Mitch and Lindsey would follow suit.
May he live the rest of his life in misery. That is what every assistant Democrat deserves.
Probably Ellicott will carry on.
Adio Amigo!
