Former New York GOP Chair Ed Cox may be jumping back into the race -- for GOP chair
d Cox is considering a run for his old job.
Cox, the former New York state GOP chair from 2009 to 2019, told Capital Tonight, “I’m talking to Republican leaders around the state and I have nothing to add at this point.”
News leaked out Wednesday afternoon that Cox might be interested in the job he held for 10 years when Rockland County GOP Chair (and previously announced state chair candidate) Lawrence Garvey issued a press release endorsing Cox.
“Before I launched my campaign for State Chair, I told Chairman Ed Cox that if he ran, I would be the first to endorse him. So today, I endorse Ed Cox for NYGOP Chair," Garvey said in a statement. "Under Ed's leadership, our Party raised millions of dollars and competed vigorously across the Empire State. In 2010 under Chairman Cox we won 8 Congressional races, flipping 6 seats from blue to red and Harry Wilson came within 5 points of winning statewide. Since then, he has remained an activist and leader of our Party. Because of his leadership in redistricting, we had a red wave in New York last year.
"I got into this race because of my record of raising money and winning in a blue county where we are outnumbered 2-1. I believe Ed Cox has the skills and experience to be successful and finish the job -- a Republican win statewide. Ed Cox should be our next Party Leader. He can do it, because he's done it."
Capital Tonight is in the process of calling all the other announced candidates who are in the running to replace now-U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy.
