Gov. George Pataki endorses Carl Paladino for Governor of NY

Statement from Governor Pataki

"One-party rule has led New York State to the brink of ruin. The ethical and fiscal morass that Democratic control has wrought upon our state government can only end if we reestablish a vigorous two-party system. The best way to achieve this is through competitive statewide candidates.

While I don't agree with my party’s nominee for Governor on any number of issues, we do agree on three essential Republican – Conservative core beliefs: the need to cut taxes, reduce spending and shrink the size of government. It is with these bedrock beliefs in mind that today I endorse Carl Paladino for Governor."

"I am humbled to be endorsed by the last real Governor of New York State," Paladino said. "And I stand strong with Gov. Pataki to lead this revolution to take back our State."

"After Gov. Pataki, we've had nothing but failure in the Governor's mansion; Spitzer and Paterson made a mockery of this once great state. Now the Albany insiders want to elect another of their own, and the taxpayers won't settle for more of the same in Andrew Cuomo," he said. "The man who slayed the first Cuomo says I am the man to beat Mario Jr.," Paladino said. "I'm proud to carry Gov. Pataki's endorsement and our party's standard to victory at the polls tomorrow."
