Robert Smullen for Congress Announces Raising Over $500,000

GLOVERSVILLE, New York – The Robert Smullen for Congress campaign today announced a major show of early strength and momentum, raising over $500,000 just days after launching Marine Colonel and Assemblyman Robert Smullen’s campaign for Congress in New York’s 21st District.

Smullen – the only Trump-appointed candidate in the race – said the early fundraising reflects the strong, immediate support for his mission-driven, Upstate First campaign.

“Upstate families want a proven conservative and a battle-tested leader they can trust,” said Colonel Smullen. “I’m humbled by the immediate outpouring of support since entering this race. Voters know I have the experience, record, and conviction to fight for them every single day – and to always put Upstate First.”

A retired Marine Corps Colonel, three-tour Afghanistan combat veteran, and the only candidate personally appointed by President Donald J. Trump, Smullen’s service-first record has resonated deeply with grassroots supporters. His leadership in the New York State Assembly – where he has stood up to one-party rule, defended constitutional freedoms, and delivered results for Upstate communities – has further fueled the early enthusiasm behind his campaign.

“This campaign is disciplined, focused, and built to win,” Smullen added. “With this level of support right out of the gate, our campaign is positioned to run an aggressive, winning race and send a Marine to Washington to fight for Upstate.”
