New state GOP chair optimistic in face of recent election losses

Matt Ryan New York Now

The state’s new Republican Party chair, Nick Langworthy, has been on the job for about six weeks, after taking over from former chairman Ed Cox in early July.

Langworthy, in an interview with Karen DeWitt for public radio and television, says he’s undaunted by recent losses at the polls by New York’s Republican Party and is optimistic about regaining seats for his party in the future.

Karen DeWitt is Capitol Bureau chief for the New York Public News Network, composed of a dozen newsrooms across the state. She has covered state government and politics for the network since 1990.
