Nick Langworthy defeats Carl Paladino in ugly upstate GOP House primaryBy Carl Campanile
August 24, 2022
State GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy emerged victorious over bombastic businessman Carl Paladino after an ugly Republican primary in the redrawn 23rd Congressional District covering the Buffalo area.
Paladino easily carried his home base of Erie County but got swamped by Langworthy in rural counties.
With 93% of districts reporting, Langworthy had 51.1% of the vote while Paladino had 46.9%, according to unofficial tallies from the state Board of Elections early Wednesday.
The fury of the contest reduced the onetime conservative allies to bestowing mocking nicknames on each other, with Langworthy branding Paladino “Cowardly Carl” for refusing to debate while Paladino countered with “Lying Langworthy.”
