Emily Jacobs writes in the Washington Examiner that Alison Esposito, a Republican who ran for lieutenant governor last year, might mount an election campaign for the 18th Congressional District seat now held by Democrat Pat Ryan. Esposito was Rep. Lee Zeldin's running mate in 2024, but failed to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul or Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado. Ryan beat Assemblyperson Colin Schmitt by a single percentage in 2022 in the 18th Congressional District. A Republican source told the newspaper that, "Alison Esposito is exploring the different ways she can serve New Yorkers. Running for Congress, among other offices, is definitely on that list."
