With less than five months until general election day, New York gubernatorial candidates are starting to rev up their campaigns across the state. Republican candidate Bruce Blakeman toured Erie County on Tuesday and unveiled his new local headquarters in Amherst. Blakeman, a native of Long Island, is currently the county executive of Nassau County. Surrounded by local elected officials and candidates, Blakeman underscored the Republican party’s push to fill more seats across the board. "In New York State, you can't look your kids or your grandkids in the face and promise them that they'll have a better life than you did, unless we have change," he said. "That change begins with our local elections, electing good Republican and conservative candidates." Read more at the link in comments.

Greetings from Williamsville, where Bruce Blakeman is opening a Buffalo-area headquarters.

Proud to welcome @NassauExec Bruce Blakeman to Erie County as we launch our Western New York headquarters in Amherst. Join the fight to save New York ⤵️ ECGOP.com/BlakemanHQ

New Yorkers deserve lower taxes, lower utility bills, and safer communities. That’s why I’m heading to Erie and Niagara County on June 16th. I hope to see you there.

In our house, we call our parents mom and dad. In Kathy Hochul’s world, they’re called “gestating and nongestating parents.” While Hochul fights culture wars, your taxes and utility bills keep climbing. When I am Governor, we will stop the nonsense and start cutting your costs.

Becky was a tremendous leader for us here in Niagara County during her time as Chairwoman of the County Legislature and I can’t wait for her to bring that same leadership with her to Albany as Assemblywoman of AD145. #VoteforBecky

Albany's legislative session is over. State Senate minority leader @SenatorOrtt (R) shares his takeaways on what was and wasn't passed, from affordability to energy. audacy.com/wben/podcasts/51a…

NY Democrats just outlawed "mother" and "father". This bill is a continuation of Hochul’s war on families, and I won't stop fighting until we take New York back.

When I say politics is now Normal vs. Crazy, this is what I mean. This is completely insane! In Arkansas, we don’t do woke nonsense and as long as I’m Governor we never will.

New ad from the @nydems just dropped ⤵️

.@GovKathyHochul doesn’t appear to be familiar with a bill that’s now passed both legislative chambers (as of last night) that would delete “mother” to “gestating parent & “father” to gender neutral language in a number of state laws. Says she’ll review. nysenate.gov/legislation/bil…

This isn't some fringe proposal from a crackpot backbencher. It passed the Assembly and it's heading toward a vote in the Senate.

Which they have. Multiple times. And they said clearly they want independent redistricting.

Holy Gestating Parent of God, this is ridiculous

New York Democrats just advanced Democrat State Sen Luis R. Sepúlveda’s bill which would replace the words mother and father with terms like “gestating parent” and “non-gestating parent” This is real

Honestly, WTF is with these people? The war on common sense, culture and the family unit continues. Now NY Democrats outlawing "mother" and "father."

The @NYSenDems are passing legislation today to replace the terms father and mother with gender neutral language 👇

There is no greater enemy of democracy than New York State Democrats 👇

They tried to rig the system. The courts shut them down. Twice. Kathy Hochul's handpicked board voted along party lines to block me from millions in public matching funds. We fought back, and we won. When I am Governor, the political games are over. New York deserves better.

Is this a dig at Cuomo or Hochul?
