Liz Joy to run against Tonko again in 2022 | The Daily Gazette

20th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT Liz Joy, the conservative activist who lost the race against incumbent U.S. Rep. Paul D. Tonko, D-Amsterdam, in 2020, has filed paperwork to run against him again in 2022.
A campaign finance committee for the 2022 congressional election cycle has been filed with the Federal Elections Commission, a year and a half before the election. The filing is unusually early, though some political scientists argue that in a two-year election cycle like that for the House of Representatives, the campaigning never really stops.
“It’s early, but in a district like this you have to be early, and I believe we have to start early and stay out there,” Joy said on Thursday. “We just took a few months to watch things play out, there’s been so much turmoil. I thought about it, and refiled last Thursday.”
Trump Endorses Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
Former President Donald Trump threw his support behind former presidential opponent Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for re-election, saying, ”Marco will never let the people of Florida or this country down.”
“It is my honor to give U.S. Senator Marco Rubio my Complete and Total Endorsement,” Trump said in a statement. “Marco has been a tireless advocate for the people of Florida, fighting to cut taxes, supporting our Second Amendment, our Military and our Vets, a strong national defense, and all of the forgotten men and women of America.”
Trump and Rubio started during the 2016 election cycle as rivals but soon became allies through Trump’s “America First” effort focusing on American manufacturing and supporting small business.
Cawthorn’s first Republican challenger appears Wendy Nevarez Facebook photo
There’s been lots of speculation since very early in Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s tenure in Congress that he’d face a Republican challenger in the Primary Election, but now it appears there’s at least one person who’s willing to do it – Asheville Republican Wendy Nevarez.
Nevarez’s profile on Linkedin says she holds a master’s in public administration and that she is a claims specialist for the Social Security Administration.
Her personal Facebook page says she’s a Western Carolina University graduate and had been an E-6 in the United States Navy from 2001 through 2017.
