Fox News
New York Republican congressional candidate Carl Paladino listed a registered sex offender on his campaign filings, adding more drama to the GOP primary fight.
Thomas Phippen is an Editor at Fox News.
Paladino is endorsed by House Republican Conference chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. His opponent, Nicholas Langworthy, the chair of the New York Republican Party (NYGOP), has secured an endorsement from Republican Study Committee head Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind.
Fox News reached out to Stefanik for reaction and to ask if she stood by her endorsement, but she declined to comment through a spokesperson.
