Pat Ryan: Over $100,000 in Contributions. A Family Paycheck. A Phony Healthcare Crusader

Kingston, NY, September 15, 2026 — Over $100,000 in cash from the state’s most powerful hospital lobby has flooded Rep. Pat Ryan’s campaign accounts, exposing his self-made image as a healthcare champion as a total sham.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings from 2017 through March 2026 reveal Ryan has quietly pocketed over $100,239.67 across 99 separate donations tied directly to the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA) and its massive member networks.

This financial entanglement goes straight to Ryan's household budget. His wife, Rebecca Grusky Ryan, serves as GNYHA’s Vice President of Health Economics and Finance, drawing a paycheck from the lobby to shape federal payment systems while writing checks to her husband's campaigns.

"Pat Ryan doesn't care about healthcare affordability, he cares about protecting his donors and his own pocketbook," said Auringer. Follow the money and the populist act completely evaporates. He is posing as a referee while introducing bills explicitly designed to protect the multi-billion-dollar hospital lobby that funds his campaigns and pays his wife's salary."

The Paper Trail: By The Numbers through March 2026

• $100,239.67 total haul from GNYHA-linked donors
• $51,650.00 directly from individuals listing the GNYHA lobby itself as their employer.
• 99 individual checks proving this is a long-term financial partnership running the full length of Ryan's political career.

Concluded Auringer, "Instead of looking out for Hudson Valley voters, Pat Ryan is looking out for himself and acting as an errand boy for his wife’s special interest employer, driving up the cost of care for all of us.”
