Conservative Party Chairman Jerry Kassar Endorses Jackie Auringer for Congress
Kassar praises Auringer as a young, energetic conservative building grassroots momentum across the Hudson Valley
KINGSTON, N.Y. - June 9, 2026 — NY State Conservative Party Chairman Jerry Kassar today endorsed Jackie Auringer for Congress in New York’s 18th Congressional District, citing her conservative values, grassroots energy, and focus on affordability, opportunity, and fighting tax increases.
Kassar said Auringer has already shown the energy and work ethic needed to win in the Hudson Valley and deliver results in Washington.
“Jackie Auringer is a young, energetic conservative who is already making waves across the district,” said Conservative Party Chairman Jerry Kassar. “She is meeting voters, attending events, and building the grassroots momentum needed to win.
“Jackie is laser-focused on affordability, fighting tax increases, and making sure the people of the Hudson Valley have the opportunity to live, work, raise a family, and build a future right here at home. She understands that families and small businesses are being squeezed by rising costs, and she will be a strong voice in Washington for taxpayers, working families, and the conservative values that made this country great.
“Her opponent, Clickbait Pat, seems to think voters will confuse his regular use of foul language with passion. The truth is, Pat Ryan abandoned this district and its voters for Washington, D.C. Jackie Auringer is showing up, doing the work, and offering the Hudson Valley the serious, conservative leadership it deserves.”
Auringer thanked Chairman Kassar for his endorsement and praised his long-standing leadership in advancing conservative principles across New York.
“I’m honored to have the support of Chairman Jerry Kassar and the Conservative Party,” said Jackie Auringer. “Chairman Kassar has been a principled and effective leader in the fight for lower taxes, safer communities, parental rights, and common-sense government. I’m grateful for his confidence in this campaign and proud to stand with conservatives across the Hudson Valley who are ready for new leadership in Washington.”
Auringer said Kassar’s endorsement reflects the growing momentum behind her campaign and the need for a representative who will fight for taxpayers, families, small businesses, and the next generation.
“Families across the Hudson Valley are working harder than ever and falling further behind because Pat Ryan has lost touch with life in our community,” Auringer said. “I’m running to fight tax increases, bring down costs, protect our communities, and make sure the next generation has the same chance to build a good life here in New York.”
Auringer is running for Congress in New York’s 18th Congressional District.
