Greg Hach: Pro-Trump Republican candidate for Congress in NY-3
Greg Hach isn’t afraid to tell it like it is! He’s a Republican running to unseat Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi, aka “Taxman Tom” for proposing a federal tax hike on people making over $400,000 and voting ‘NO’ on Big Beautiful Bill tax cuts and ‘NO’ to enhancing SALT deductions for New Yorkers. Greg is a US Air Force veteran, and co-founder of Hach & Rose, LLP law firm. He believes in secure borders, a strong middle class, tax relief, national security and “peace through strength.”

At the 1/8/26 QVRC club meeting we learned from the foremost expert on the subject, Edward Lombardo, a commercial real estate mortgage and energy policy expert. New York City’s green energy mandates are no longer theoretical—they are hitting property owners with higher electric bills and serious penalties will be forthcoming under Local Law 97. This is the green energy agenda NYC has initiated to combat climate change. Knowledge is Power!
