Albany, NY -- Congressman Marc Molinaro released the following statement:
"Josh Riley lied to voters tonight. He worked in DC to open the borders. His platform keeps it open and puts illegal immigrants ahead of New Yorkers.
"Now he wants you to believe he's had a change of heart? I'm asking voters to trust their gut. Two years ago, they rejected Josh Riley because he puts illegals over us. And disrespects working families -- like the one I grew up in. The people who work hard, pay their taxes, and get nothing like what they're giving out to illegals.
"I'm running to keep fighting for Upstate New Yorkers. And I'm humbly asking for their vote."
