And members of the state’s congressional delegation said Sunday they were pleased with the turnout at Empire Steak House in midtown Manhattan. Johnson privately addressed donors in the dining room of the GOP-friendly eatery, which was festooned with Christmas decorations and featured a fire flickering on a screen.
“The initial numbers both digitally and in person are quite good,” Rep. Nick LaLota, one of the first-term Republicans on Long Island, told POLITICO outside the restaurant. “And that will enable us to be confident that we’ll have the resources we need to send out mailers or have TV commercials and the other resources needed to to win these competitive campaigns.”
The midtown event raised money for the GOP joint fundraising committee, Grow the Majority NY. The group did not publicize how much was hauled in during Johnson’s swing.
