Smullen Secures Unanimous Clinton County GOP Endorsement, Dominates Primary Field With 12 of 15 County Committees and Unified Party Support

GLOVERSVILLE, New York (April 2, 2026) – Assemblyman Robert Smullen today announced the unanimous endorsement of the Clinton County Republican Committee, marking his 12th county committee endorsement out of 15 across New York’s 21st Congressional District and further solidifying his status as the clear frontrunner in the race.

Smullen now holds overwhelming institutional support, including endorsements from the New York State Republican Party, the New York State Conservative Party, and every single Republican member of the New York State Assembly – a unified show of strength that no other candidate in the race can match.

“This campaign is about standing up for the people of Upstate New York and delivering on the America First agenda that is putting our country back on track,” said Smullen. “I am proud to stand with President Donald J. Trump and fight for secure borders, lower taxes, energy independence, and the constitutional freedoms that make this country great. The voters of NY-21 are sending a clear message – they want a proven conservative fighter, not a self-funded candidate trying to buy a seat in Congress.”

The Clinton County endorsement builds on a growing coalition of support across the North Country and Upstate, where Republican leaders are uniting behind Smullen’s record of service, leadership, and results.

A retired U.S. Marine Corps Colonel with three combat tours in Afghanistan, Smullen has spent his life serving the country and fighting for American values. In Albany, he has taken on one-party rule, defended law enforcement, and consistently delivered for Upstate communities.

Now, with overwhelming support from grassroots leaders, elected officials, and party organizations across the district, Smullen is leading a campaign focused on winning in November and advancing President Trump’s America First agenda in Congress.
