OSWEGO COUNTY – Will Barclay (REP, CON, IND), 120th Assembly District, sent out the following statement in regard to the 2020 Election Day results.
Incumbent Barclay beat challenger Gail Tosh with 71.09% of the vote, as of Election night.
“Despite a host of factors that were supposed to work against Republican candidates, our Conference and Party performed well on Election Day, offering some encouraging signs for the future.
The days of violence in the streets, an unaffordable cost of living and a state economy on the brink of collapse do not work for New Yorkers. More voters are realizing that the core principles of One-Party Democrat rule create real problems for hard-working men and women.
I am extremely pleased that all of our incumbent members will return to the Assembly Minority Conference. They should be commended for the hard work and leadership they provide in their districts. Although many races remain undecided, we know for certain that the Assembly Minority will welcome at least 11 new members to its ranks next year, and will once again grow in numbers. Mike Lawler’s victory over the Democratic incumbent in the 97th District is a tremendous win, and I extend my congratulations to him.
I’m hopeful that the success we witnessed last night will also be realized in other campaigns during the coming days and weeks. Every candidate and committed volunteer deserves an enormous amount of credit for their tireless efforts over the past several months. On behalf of the entire Assembly Minority Conference, I thank them for the sacrifices and hard work they’ve provided.”
