Former Congresswoman Nan Hayworth Endorses Jackie Auringer for Congress

KINGSTON, NY - June 10, 2026 — Former Congresswoman Nan Hayworth, M.D., today endorsed Jackie Auringer for Congress in New York's 18th Congressional District, citing Auringer's deep Hudson Valley roots, business experience, and commitment to practical solutions that make government work for the people it serves. Hayworth represented the Hudson Valley in Congress from 2011 to 2013.

"Having had the privilege of serving the Hudson Valley in Congress, I'm proud to endorse Jackie Auringer," said former Congresswoman Nan Hayworth. "With deep roots in our region and experience helping lead her family's business, Jackie knows the strength of our communities. She also understands the challenges we face, and she is a fresh and compelling voice for pragmatic solutions that will work for every one of us."

Hayworth said Auringer will fight to lower costs, reduce burdens on families and small businesses, and protect the programs New Yorkers rely on.

"A vote for Jackie is a vote to make our government work for us, not demand more from us at every turn," Hayworth said. "She'll work hard in Congress to cut the taxes and regulations that Democrats always make worse, while providing a sound footing for the programs folks rely on, like Social Security and Medicare. She'll fight to make health care more affordable, truly protect the environment we cherish, and keep energy prices down."

Auringer thanked Hayworth for her endorsement and praised her record of public service and leadership.

"Congresswoman Hayworth has been a strong voice for Hudson Valley taxpayers, families, small businesses, and patients, and she helped lead the way for women in public service across our region," Auringer said. "I'm honored to have her support because she understands that our region needs leaders who stay rooted in their communities and are committed to lowering the cost of living so families can make ends meet today and build a future here in New York."

Hayworth also pointed to Auringer's focus on jobs, workers, innovation, and the rapidly changing economy.

"Jackie is dedicated to growing jobs and championing New York's workers, innovators, and entrepreneurs as they adapt to the rapidly changing world of technology," Hayworth said. "She'll fight to ensure opportunity and prosperity for everyone in the 18th District. Please join me in enthusiastically supporting Jackie for Congress."

Auringer said Hayworth's endorsement is especially meaningful as a new generation of women step forward to lead.

"Nan Hayworth helped show that strong, principled women can lead and win in the Hudson Valley," Auringer said. "I'm proud to follow in that tradition as a new generation of leaders steps forward to fight for families, protect opportunity, and make Washington work for the people we serve."
