Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference, has endorsed Nachman Caller in the special election for New York State Senate, delivering a significant boost to the Republican candidate just 12 hours before polls open.
In a robocall sent to voters in the 22nd Senate District, Stefanik said Caller “will stop Governor Hochul and the radical liberal politicians in Albany.”
Caller, a longtime real estate attorney and community leader from Borough Park, is running on the Republican and Conservative lines to fill the Brooklyn seat vacated earlier this year. The district includes the frum neighborhoods of Borough Park, Midwood, Flatbush, and Marine Park.
The State Senate plays a key role in shaping policy on education, housing, taxes, healthcare, and public safety. A victory by Caller would leave Democrats two votes short of a veto-proof majority in the chamber.
“Nachman Caller will fight to keep our streets safe and fight for our schools,” Stefanik said.
Stefanik has gained national prominence in recent years and earned praise in the Jewish community during congressional hearings last year, where she challenged university presidents over their failure to protect Jewish students.
Rep. Mike Lawler, a Republican from Rockland County, has also endorsed Caller, echoing the message that Albany needs experienced leaders to push back against radical liberal policies.
“I am honored to receive the support of these esteemed Republican leaders in Washington,” said Nachman Caller. “With their help, and with a mandate from the voters in our district, we will bring common sense to Albany and deliver real results for all families.”
The special election will be held tomorrow. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
