Republican state Assemblyman Colin Schmitt has launched his campaign for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The assemblyman made the announcement outside of Montgomery Village Hall this afternoon.
Schmitt says there needs to be better leadership for the state s 18th Congressional District, promising to be a strong voice for the Hudson Valley.
He pointed a finger at incumbent Democratic Rep. Sean Maloney calling him a blind follower of Nancy Pelosi.
If elected, Schmitt says his focus will be on jobs, repealing the SALT deduction cap and backing law enforcement.
