FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jason Murillo Announces Candidacy for New York State Senate in the 27th District “Our Time Is Now.”
New York, NY — Following his historic 2025 New York City Council campaign, community advocate Jason Murillo today announced his candidacy for the New York State Senate in the 27th District.
Today marks a tremendous milestone for our campaign and for the people of the 27th District.
I am deeply honored to be officially nominated and endorsed by both the Manhattan Republican Party and the New York State Republican Party as their candidate for State Senate in the 27th District. I am especially grateful for the support and endorsement of Manhattan Chairwoman, the Hon. Andrea Catsimatidis.
This is not just a personal accomplishment; it is a powerful statement that our district is ready for strong, principled, common-sense leadership. It shows that our message is resonating: putting community first, restoring public safety, protecting small businesses, defending affordable housing, and standing up for working families who feel ignored by the political establishment.
I am ready to fight for all New Yorkers and bring common-sense, community-first leadership to Albany.
The challenges facing our city and state are serious — but so is our resolve.
In 2025, Murillo made history by earning the most votes ever received by a Republican candidate in his City Council district — building a broad, bipartisan coalition of disenfranchised Democrats, independents, conservatives, and Republicans united by a shared belief that Manhattan deserves better.
Now, he’s taking that fight to Albany.
“I cannot sit on the sidelines any longer,” Murillo said. “The time for action is now. Families are struggling. Small businesses are closing. Public safety remains a concern. Albany continues to ignore the voices of hard-working New Yorkers. Our communities deserve leadership that listens — and delivers.”
The 27th District, which includes neighborhoods throughout Manhattan, has long been represented by entrenched political leadership aligned with the Albany status quo. Murillo says that the status quo has failed working families, seniors, small business owners, and public housing residents who feel forgotten and unheard.
Murillo’s campaign will focus on:
• Restoring Public Safety by supporting common-sense reforms and standing with law enforcement while protecting civil liberties.
• Lowering the Cost of Living by opposing burdensome taxes and mandates that drive families and businesses out of New York.
• Protecting Affordable Housing & NYCHA Residents by demanding accountability, transparency, and real investment in public housing without displacing residents.
• Supporting Small Businesses by cutting red tape and stopping policies that punish local entrepreneurs.
• Putting Families First by defending parental rights, improving educational standards, and ensuring safe, thriving neighborhoods.
“My campaign isn’t about party labels — it’s about people,” Murillo said. “In 2025, we proved that when you bring common-sense, community-first, family-first solutions to the table, New Yorkers respond. We built a coalition across political lines because people are tired of being ignored.”
Murillo emphasized that his run for State Senate represents a new direction for Manhattan politics — one rooted in accountability, accessibility, and action.
“This movement is bigger than me,” he added. “It’s about the single mom worried about rent. The small business owner crushed by regulations. The senior afraid to walk home at night. The NYCHA resident waiting years for repairs. It’s about everyday New Yorkers who feel Albany doesn’t see them.”
With the campaign slogan “Our Time Is Now,” Murillo says the message is clear: Manhattan residents are ready for bold, responsive leadership that challenges the political establishment and fights for real results.
“I’m stepping up for my neighbors, my friends, and the families of the 27th District,” Murillo said. “Together, we will bring common sense back to Albany — and restore faith in government that works for the people.”
