Staten Island’s Conservative Party Of Richmond Announces 2026 Candidate Endorsements

STATEN ISLAND CONSERVATIVE PARTY ANNOUNCES NOMINATIONS AND ENDORSEMENTS OF 2026 CANDIDATES

Editor’s note: These same candidates ran for reelection just two years ago, in the 2024 election.  They were nominated at the time by the Conservative Party of Richmond as well.  

The following incumbent legislators seeking re-election this year officially have the complete and total endorsement of the Staten Island Conservative Party: Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, State Senator Andrew J. Lanza, State Assemblyman Michael W. Reilly Jr., State Assemblyman Michael Tannousis, and State Assemblyman Sam T. Pirozzolo. 

In accepting their nominations and endorsements, the incumbent candidates issued the following statements:

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (11th Congressional District):  “I’m thankful for the Conservative Party’s continued confidence and support.  From defending public safety and promoting border security to supporting economic growth, my priority has always been bringing practical, common-sense leadership to Washington.  Our office has assisted thousands of constituents and secured critical federal investments benefiting NYPD, FDNY, healthcare, education, and improving our community’s infrastructure.  I look forward to continuing this work on behalf of Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn.”

Senator Andrew J. Lanza (24th Senate District): “I am honored to embrace the Conservative Party principles, which now more than ever are needed to preserve our constitutional freedoms.  As we look towards November, it is crystal clear that New Yorkers have been harmed and betrayed by left-wing policies. I look forward to working with Chairman Curcio and the members of the Conservative Party in the fight to defend individual liberty and restore economic opportunities for all.”

Assemblyman Michael W. Reilly Jr. (62nd Assembly District):  “I am deeply humbled and honored to receive the endorsement of the Conservative Party of Richmond County for reelection to serve the people of the 62nd Assembly District.  I am grateful for their continued confidence in my public service.  I look forward to continuing our work on behalf of this great community”

Assemblyman Michael Tannousis (64th Assembly District):  “As we continue to fight against the socialist agenda that has brought us increased crime, the migrant crisis, and a diminished quality of life, I am proud to once again carry the Conservative Party banner and fight for conservative values and common sense policies in Albany.  I will continue to fight for my constituents as life in New York State has become increasingly more difficult for the taxpayer.”

Assemblyman Sam T. Pirozzolo (63rd Assembly District):  “I would like to thank Chairman Curcio and the Conservative Party of Staten Island for their endorsement. As the first political party to ever endorse me, I work hard every day to live up to the values they and I represent.”

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with Conservative Party nominees on Column “C”.
