Auringer Earns Endorsement from Log Cabin Republicans PAC

KINGSTON, N.Y. - June 2, 2026 - As Americans across the country mark the start of Pride Month, Jackie Auringer, Republican candidate for Congress in New York's 18th District, today announced that she has been endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans PAC for the 2026 election cycle.

Log Cabin Republicans PAC is the political action committee affiliate of Log Cabin Republicans, the nation's oldest and largest organization representing LGBTQ+ Republicans and straight allies.

"Jackie Auringer represents a new generation of leadership focused on delivering real results for hardworking families," said Ed Williams, Executive Director of Log Cabin Republicans.

Williams continued, "As a Hudson Valley native, philanthropist, and community advocate, Jackie understands the challenges facing New Yorkers because she's lived them. Her commitment to affordability, accountability, and opportunity reflects the kind of practical, solutions-oriented leadership that voters are looking for. We are proud to support Jackie Auringer for Congress and look forward to helping send a stronger voice for the Hudson Valley to Washington."

The endorsement follows a review of Auringer's stance on issues and recognizes her as a "pro-limited government, pro-personal freedom candidate" committed to helping build a Republican Party grounded in individual liberty, opportunity, and equality under the law.

"I'm honored to have the support of Log Cabin Republicans, especially as Pride Month begins," said Auringer. "The Hudson Valley is full of people who may not agree on every issue, but who still believe in a basic idea: you should be free to live your life, build your future, love who you love, and be treated with respect. That should not be a partisan idea."

Auringer said the endorsement reflects the kind of coalition she is working to build across the Hudson Valley.

"This campaign is about building a coalition that welcomes people who want safer communities, lower costs, stronger families, and a government that respects individual freedom," Auringer said. "I'm grateful for LCR PAC's support and proud to carry that message across the Hudson Valley."

Auringer is running to bring new leadership to New York's 18th Congressional District, with a focus on affordability, public safety, economic opportunity, personal freedom, and restoring trust in government.
