Matt Slater, a public official representing New York’s 94th Assembly District, used his social media platform in early November 2025 to express support for local Republican candidates ahead of election day.
On November 2, 2025, Slater voiced his endorsement for two individuals running for the Patterson Town Board. He stated, “Joe Esposito and Mary Smith are ready to serve Patterson with dedication and diligence. I’m proud to support their leadership on the Town Board.”
The following day, Slater shared details of a visit from a state legislator. On November 3, he posted: “It was a pleasure to welcome @SenatorOrtt to the 94th District in support of our local Republican candidates! Tomorrow is election day – get out and make your voice heard!” The mention refers to Rob Ortt, New York State Senate Minority Leader.
Later that same day, Slater extended his backing to another candidate serving Somers. He wrote: “Somers is in great hands with Councilman Anthony Cirieco. I’m proud to support his continued leadership on the Town Board.”
Slater’s public endorsements reflect an ongoing tradition among elected officials of supporting party members during local elections. As Assemblymember for New York’s 94th District—which includes parts of Putnam and Westchester counties—Slater frequently uses social media channels for political communication and community engagement.
