New York


SPEAKER JOHNSON MAKES NY FUNDRAISING SWING FOR BATTLEGROUND HOUSE RACES

“The initial numbers both digitally and in person are quite good,” Rep. Nick
LaLota, one of the freshman Republicans on Long Island, said.

NEW YORK — House Speaker Mike Johnson capped off a three-day fundraising effort
in New York on Sunday with a pair of events meant to shore up support for
congressional Republicans facing tough reelection campaigns in the New York City
suburbs.

New York has emerged as a pivotal battleground for control of the House in 2024
after the GOP flipped several seats last election cycle to give them a thin
majority. Democrats, however, are aiming to take those districts back, setting
up what will be a series of grueling campaigns sure to feature heated debates
over abortion, immigration and crime.



Winning the hearts of voters, however, costs money.



And members of the state’s congressional delegation said Sunday they were
pleased with the turnout at Empire Steak House in midtown Manhattan. Johnson
privately addressed donors in the dining room of the GOP-friendly eatery, which
was festooned with Christmas decorations and featured a fire flickering on a
screen.

“The initial numbers both digitally and in person are quite good,” Rep. Nick
LaLota, one of the freshman Republicans on Long Island, told POLITICO outside
the restaurant. “And that will enable us to be confident that we’ll have the
resources we need to send out mailers or have TV commercials and the other
resources needed to to win these competitive campaigns.”

The midtown event raised money for the GOP joint fundraising committee, Grow the
Majority NY. The group did not publicize how much was hauled in during Johnson’s
swing.

Johnson declined to answer a question from POLITICO before disappearing into his
motorcade, but members of the New York delegation said they were optimistic
heading into 2024. Several suburban and upstate races are currently tossups, and
the message to donors was that Republicans are growing their margins.

“We’re on offense. We’re winning in New York and, as we saw with the local
elections on Long Island [earlier this month], we’re sweeping with Republicans,”
Rep. Elise Stefanik, who has vowed to raise $100 million for the races, said
after the event.




Johnson, however, is hardly a household name despite emerging from the GOP’s
speaker election debacle with the gavel in his hand. And former Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy had made strong inroads in the region building a fundraising
apparatus and supportive voting blocs.

“I know nothing about the speaker,” Curtis Sliwa, who ran as a Republican in the
2021 mayoral race, said on his way into the midtown fundraiser. “So I’d like to
hear a little bit from the speaker. I think most people never even heard of
him.”

Democrats are looking to boost Johnson’s name recognition, too. Albeit for
different reasons.

A group that included two major labor organizations and the Working Families
Party gathered in Westchester County to protest Johnson’s second fundraising
stop of the day — an event to support Rep. Mike Lawler, who represents suburban
communities north of New York City.

Democrats are looking to tie Lawler — an avowed moderate Republican — to the
more conservative politics of Johnson.

“Mike Lawler today is having a fundraiser with the most extreme radical Speaker
of the House in American history,” Mondaire Jones, a former Democratic Congress
member who is running against Lawler in 2024, said at a press conference
denouncing the fundraising event.

Republican House members dismissed that strategy Sunday, saying that they will
not necessarily vote in line with Johnson if it means bad politics for the
district.

“We vote on what matters most back home,” Long Island freshman Rep. Anthony
D’Esposito said outside the midtown event. “The speaker has made it very clear
his job right now is to represent [the House] … and that doesn’t always mean
carrying his personal agenda across the line.”

An example?

Johnson opposed the expulsion of now former Rep. George Santos, the serial liar
who flipped a Long Island congressional seat last year. D’Esposito and his
fellow New Yorkers — along with more than 100 other Republicans — overrode those
wishes and helped give Santos the boot.

“We allowed [House Republicans] to have a vote of conscience,” Johnson said in
an interview Saturday with Fox News.
