REPORT: Lyin’ Josh Riley is Raking in Cash from NYSEG Lobbyists

March 11, 2026

new report exposes that lyin’ Josh Riley is lining his pockets with money from individuals who lobby on behalf of NYSEG’s parent company.

This is the latest story revealing that Josh Riley has been blatantly lying about fighting the NYSEG rate increases. As a reminder, Riley contributed to the rate hikes and, as an investor in NYSEG’s parent company, is a direct beneficiary of them.

“Lying Josh Riley wants voters to believe he’s fighting NYSEG’s rate hikes, but the truth is he’s part of the reason they’re going up in the first place, and he’s benefiting from them. Riley’s lies won’t work on Upstate New Yorkers.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
