Smullen Earns Unanimous Endorsement of the Franklin County Republican Committee

FRANKLIN COUNTY, New York – Robert Smullen has earned the unanimous endorsement of the Franklin County Republican Committee following a vote of the party’s membership – furthering the fact that Robert is the frontrunner in the race for NY-21.

The endorsement reflects strong grassroots support from local Republicans who cited Smullen’s conservative leadership, deep understanding of North Country priorities, and proven record of putting Upstate First.

Smullen is a retired Marine Corps Colonel and three-time re-elected State Assemblyman who has represented significant portions of New York’s 21st Congressional District. As Chairman of the Assembly Republican Conference, he has been a leading advocate on public safety, rural healthcare access, affordability, energy independence, and defending constitutional freedoms.

Franklin County Republicans recognized Smullen’s strong support for President Donald Trump and his America First policy agenda, including securing the border, restoring American energy independence, and backing law enforcement and the military.

“I am grateful for the support of Franklin County Republicans and honored to earn their unanimous endorsement through a vote of the party’s members,” Smullen said. “Franklin County embodies the strength, independence, and values of the North Country. I have always put Upstate First in Albany, and I am running to bring that same fight to Washington in support of President Trump’s America First policies that put our country, our communities, and our families first.”

The Franklin County endorsement builds on significant momentum for Smullen’s campaign. To date, he has earned the endorsement of more than 55 local and state elected officials from across the Empire State, reflecting broad support from leaders who know their communities and have worked alongside him.

Smullen is running for Congress to succeed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and to ensure the North Country and Upstate New York have a strong, battle-tested voice in Washington focused on lowering costs, securing the border, backing law enforcement, supporting veterans, and advancing an America First agenda.
