Posted by Republican gubernatorial hopeful Rick Lazio received a boost of political support Wednesday from former governor George Pataki.
Pataki, a three-term governor, said Lazio is the right choice to clean up the dysfunctional government in Albany.
“I believe the right person, the best person for the party, and more importantly for the state, is Rick Lazio,” Pataki said.
Lazio’s campaign says the one-time Long Island Congressman has the support of many Republican and Conservative leaders across the state.
Pataki, who left politics in 2006, is seen by some as a potential challenger for Kirsten Gillibrand’s U.S. Senate seat.
