CPPAC 2025: A Major Success
CPPAC 2025 was an incredible success, energizing conservatives across New York and beyond as we head into another crucial election year. Our two-day event this past Sunday and Monday featured an impressive lineup of conservative speakers who delivered powerful speeches on the most pressing issues facing our Nation and State. From discussions on election integrity to policies that promote economic growth, public safety, micron chips, and shed light on our Northern Border immigration crisis, every speaker reinforced our shared commitment to putting America first. The enthusiasm in the room was undeniable, and it was clear that attendees left more motivated than ever to engage in the political process. I would like to thank our speakers, legislators, committeemen, chairmen, and our supporters for making our conference great. Without you all, there would not be a Conservative Party. For those who couldn’t attend, we will soon be releasing photos and videos from the event so everyone can experience it firsthand. You can go to our Facebook here to see some of the pictures for now. I hope to see you again next year!
Pam Bondi Confirmed as U.S. Attorney General
The United States Senate has officially confirmed Pam Bondi as the next U.S. Attorney General, a strong and principled leader who will fully support President Trump’s agenda. Bondi, the former Attorney General of Florida, built a reputation as a tough prosecutor and staunch advocate for the rule of law. During her Senate hearing, while facing gross attacks from Democrats, Pam made it very clear she will follow the rule of law and will not be afraid to prosecute. Throughout her career, she has taken on major cases involving consumer fraud, human trafficking, and corporate misconduct, always putting the interests of the American people first. She is already off to a strong start in her new role, immediately taking action against sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Her leadership at the Department of Justice will be critical in ensuring law and order, and we are confident that she will serve with integrity and common sense. Now, we still await the confirmation of RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel and Elise Stefanik. We anticipate the confirmation of all of President Trump’s Cabinet picks.
Democrats Election Manipulation
The biggest political controversy this week comes from Albany, where the Governor and Legislative Democrats were caught attempting to manipulate the political calendar to keep the 21st Congressional District unfilled and to gain a major political advantage in the Brooklyn State Senate seat.
The Governor using a rarely issued emergency message was planning to introduce legislation that the Democratic Majorities would pass allowing her to significantly delay the Congressional election, leaving 770,000 residents unrepresented. In addition, the second part of the scheme would change the special election for State Senate in Brooklyn to Mayoral primary day. Thus, immensely increasing the odds of a Democrat winning a seat that Zeldin and Trump won overwhelmingly.
The Party called a press conference in Albany attended by myself, Congressman Mike Lawler, Senate GOP Leader Robert Ortt and Assembly GOP Leader Will Barclay. Ortt and Barclay declared that they would use every tactic at their disposal to fight in the Legislature. I indicated that the Conservative Party would take legal action and Congressman Lawler called for a DOJ RICO investigation of the NYS government.
We won the first round. As of this writing, the bill and message which was expected to be introduced is on hold. Although I cannot be certain what the final outcome will be, it is important that this blatant effort to interfere in an established political timetable be called out at every opportunity. You can watch the full press conference with myself, Congressman Lawler, Leader Ortt and Leader Barclay here.
