Thank you to State Senator George Borrello for presenting to Erie County SCOPE on Tues. Oct. 28.
The crowd had great questions about the NYS recently signed domestic violence gun law. Also, we had a much passionate discussion about Hochul's electric mandate for new builds as of Jan. 1, 2026.
He spoke also about Elise Stefanik's probable run in '26 and our upcoming strategies as Patriots to take back NYS.
