The New York Republican State Committee unanimously nominated Joseph Hernandez as its candidate for state comptroller at the Republican State Convention, held in Garden City. As the party’s official nominee, Joseph Hernandez will appear on the Republican Party ballot line in this November’s elections.

In advance of the state convention, Hernandez earned the support of county party chairs and committees.

“I am deeply humbled and honored to accept the Republican nomination for New York State Comptroller,” said Hernandez. “This campaign is about restoring the comptroller’s office to its core mission: protecting taxpayers, auditing waste and fraud, and serving as an independent watchdog.”

In his acceptance, Hernandez thanked Republican State Chairman Ed Cox and others, and outlined his plan to restore fiscal accountability to state government, protect taxpayers and invest in New York’s future.

The convention highlights a unified Republican ticket heading into November’s midterm elections, including Nassau County Executive and Republican gubernatorial nominee Bruce Blakeman.

“Bruce Blakeman has delivered results, protected taxpayers, and stood up to one-party rule here in New York, showing what Republican leadership looks like,” Hernandez said. “Together, we will restore accountability to Albany and put New Yorkers back in charge of their government.”

In addition, the New York State Conservative Party has unanimously nominated Joseph Hernandez as its candidate for state comptroller. As the party’s official nominee, Hernandez will appear on the Conservative Party ballot line in this November’s election.

“I am deeply honored to accept the Conservative Party’s nomination for New York State Comptroller,” said Hernandez. “This campaign is about restoring fiscal responsibility, independent oversight and real accountability to state government. New Yorkers deserve a watchdog who answers to taxpayers, not to one-party political interests.”

“For too long, New Yorkers have watched waste, fraud and abuse go unchecked,” Hernandez continued. “The comptroller’s office must serve as an independent guardian of taxpayer dollars and the state pension fund. As comptroller, I will protect liberty, uphold the rule of law, and ensure that government answers to the people, not the other way around.”
