Republican Randy Altschuler with 45.14% votes, defeated Greek American George Demos with 30.70%. Richard Nixon’s grandson Republican Chris Cox finished third with 24% of total votes in the GOP primary for congress. Demos ran a great campaign. As he states in an online letter to supporters, he will continue fighting for the same issues and values as he has always done. Please find below Demos’ letter to his supporters that is published on his campaign’s website:
Thank you to all of you who worked so hard for our campaign and for our cause of true conservative values. We have fought the good fight for Conservative principles, exceeded all expectations, but come a little bit short tonight.
Moments ago, I called Randy Altschuler and congratulated him on winning the Republican nomination for US Congress. It is imperative that we stop the Obama-Pelosi-Bishop agenda of reckless spending and higher taxes. To do that we must win back our Congress. I will do everything in my power to ensure that Randy Altschuler is our next Congressman because the future of our nation is at stake. I also Congratulate Chris Cox for a vigorous campaign.
Thank you to the Republican party chairman John LaValle for opening the primary process so that we could participate and spread our message.
I have met thousands of people across Long Island and they all agree that our spending is out of control and our taxes are too high – we must change course in this nation or our future is at risk.
I am so honored at the tremendous support we received from so many leaders including Rush Limbaugh. I will continue to fight for our principles and our values – I believed in them yesterday, I believe in them today, and I will believe in them tomorrow.
May God Bless you and always continue to bless the United States of America.
