KASSAR UNANIMOUSLY REELECTED CHAIRMAN OF THE NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY

New York…New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar has been unanimously reelected to a fourth two-term after a vote by the Party Executive Committee on Saturday at the American Legion Blanchard-Curry Post in Delmar, NY.

The New York Conservative Party was formed in 1962 to restore a meaningful choice to the voters of New York State. At that time, the three existing political parties espoused the doctrinaire liberal philosophy of the welfare state at home and the collectivist ideology abroad. In just six decades, the party has grown from a small band of conservative-minded men and women to a statewide organization dedicated to the traditional American values of individual freedom, individual responsibility, and individual effort.

The Conservative Party has achieved myriad wins throughout its history, including in its effort to elect 10 New York Republican-Conservative candidates to Congress in 2022, victories widely cited as giving the GOP its current House majority.

“Serving the Conservative Party has been one of the great privileges of my life, and I am honored to be elected chairman again,” Mr. Kassar said. “The New York State Conservative Party has stood for time-tested principles for more than 60 years — common sense, individual political and economic freedom, and respect for the Constitution — and that advocacy will boldly continue under my leadership. New York State has become a shell of itself under faddish progressive rule, and taxpayers are yearning for normalcy and economic relief.”
