The New York Post reports:
Alison Esposito, the New York Republican party’s lieutenant governor candidate of choice, opened up in a new interview about being its first openly gay candidate, steadfastly saying, “It can happen.”
The former NYPD deputy inspector spoke publicly for the first time about her history-making run as Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin’s running mate. “I think, honestly, I think the Republicans kind of get a bad rep with that,” Esposito said, when asked about the GOP’s former opposition to LGBTQ causes and gay marriage.
“I’m gay and Republican – it can happen. It can happen. You know, it’s, and I keep saying this, this isn’t really just a red wave. This is a common-sense wave,” she added.

As you can see, Zeldin is running a new ad promoting some version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.

NOBODY should have been fired for not wanting to get the COVID shot. Every one of them, including our first responders, military, nurses, and teachers, should ALL get their jobs back NOW, with back pay!

Really great meeting with @RichardGrenell today, who served in numerous leadership positions in the Trump admin. He provided me with great guidance & advice on this race for Lieutenant Governor. On Nov 8, 2022, @leezeldin & I are going to restore NY to glory! pic.twitter.com/xtU54aSs2I
