CATSKILL – Former Dutchess County executive, state assemblyman and most recently, a high-ranking member of the Trump Administration as administrator of the Federal Transit administration, has made it official – he is running for the State Assembly in the 102 District to fill the seat being vacated by fellow Republican Chris Tague.
The district includes portions of Ulster, Otsego, Albany, and Delaware counties and all of Greene and Schoharie counties.
In a statement issued on Monday, he said, “while I was working to move America forward, I was watching what was happening in New York. Progressive special interests and incompetent far-left politicians like Kathy Hochul and Zohran Mamdani now have a stronghold on our state – making it more expensive and less safe.”
Molinaro, who served as the youngest mayor in America at age 19, said he wants to return to Albany “to fill the void of sensible leadership, help like-minded Republicans win, and give ordinary New Yorkers a voice in Albany.”
Should he win in November, Molinaro will be a member of the political minority as Democrats have a stronghold on state government.
