“There are three people being honest on this stage and that consists of Rob, Andrew and me, and Lee is consistently lying,” Wilson said as the debate neared its end.Zeldin, who has represented the eastern end of Long Island in Congress since 2015, is the presumed frontrunner in the four-way GOP race, having received the endorsement of the state Republican and Conservative Party committees.
“So the four years I was there, instead of passing Cuomo’s budget, the state Senate passed our own budget with a self-imposed 2% spending cap, and then we reached an agreement,” Zeldin said. “I would respect Mr. Zeldin more if he said, ‘Hey, I screwed up. I was a young state senator, I was trying to get a job in Congress and I voted with the party,’” Wilson said.
