New York-May 26…Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino, the former two-term Westchester County Executive, today announced that a new 30-second television commercial called “Help is on the Way” has begun airing statewide, with a half-million dollar advertising buy. 

The spot highlights Astorino’s leadership in challenging Governor Kathy Hochul and President Joe Biden on the secretive flights of illegal immigrants into New York airports, as well as Astorino’s history of cutting taxes, reducing the size of government, and creating more than 44,000 private sector jobs while serving as County Executive in deep blue Westchester. 

The ad features a recent Tucker Carlson interview with Astorino discussing the controversial flights, which Astorino broke to the news media last year. New York, under Gov. Hochul, is a sanctuary state and set up a $2.1 billion fund for cash assistance and other benefits for non-citizens, while New Yorkers are struggling to pay their bills (Full ad copy below.).

“New Yorkers are desperate for relief — from runaway crime, sharply increasing gas and grocery prices due to inflation, the highest taxes in America, unscientific mandates, and the most corrupt, one-party state government in the country,” Astorino said. “I want them to know that help is on the way. I know how to bring relief to taxpayers because I’ve done it before, and I’ll begin reversing this self-made crime wave with common sense policies on my first day in office. New Yorkers don’t have to live this way.”
