“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”-Ronald Reagan

Brooklyn, NY – “Congressman Lee Zeldin’s clear victory tonight gives him a tremendous head of steam leading into November’s general election. With the Republican and Conservative parties united behind Lee, we’re well on our way toward retiring Governor Kathy Hochul and her failed ‘woke’ progressivism.
“The Conservative Party was the first to support Congressman Zeldin for governor, and we will continue campaigning with him in every corner of New York State. Change is long overdue in New York, and tonight’s win is the first step toward a larger victory in November.”
“Roe v. Wade was a constitutionally flawed decision that never should have been issued.” And today it was overturned. The Conservative Party has been seeking this decision since the day it became the law, January 22, 1973. We applaud Justice Alito, Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Thomas, Justice Gorsuch, Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Coney Barrett who upheld the United States Constitution with today’s historic decision. Read my full statement here.
Former VP Pence Wows Conservative Party
Former Vice-President Mike Pence returned to a Conservative Party event on Wednesday evening and the crowed room responded to his remarks with thunderous applause, especially when he restated his strong support for the next Governor of New York State, Lee Zeldin. Mr. Pence reminded those in the room how America, under the Biden Administration, has lost some of her standing in the free world, due to the erroneous mistakes of the current administration from our embarrassing exodus from Afghanistan to the disastrous flooding of ill-legal immigrants on our southern border and record high inflation. His remarks stressed the importance of taking back the House and Senate in the upcoming November elections in an effort to end the progressive hold on the White House and noted that it is up to the voters across our great nation that only they can retake control in November and reminded us that while endorsements, editorial support and social media are all important for candidates, the most important conveyor of support is word of mouth…so call, text or email your family and let them know who you support. Thank you for all you do to support the Conservative Party of New York State.
Tuesday, June 28 is Primary Day
The first step in Saving our State begins on Tuesday, when Republicans vote for Lee Zeldin in the Republican Primary. (The Conservative Party does not have a primary and is proud to support Lee Zeldin, Allison Esposito, Lt. Gov. candidate, Michael Henry for Attorney General, Paul Rodriquez for NYS Comptroller and Joe Pinion for US Senate.) It is important that you use Mr. Pence’s advice about word of mouth being the best way to show support for Lee Zeldin. A united Republican-Conservative candidate is the best chance of defeating the progressive hold the current administration has on New Yorkers. Lee Zeldin will fire DA Alvin Bragg on day one and has committed to making New York safe again. The New York Post editorial of June 16, 2022 said it best: Lee Zeldin is the best bet for governor to save New York. Take the first step on Tuesday to help make this happen.
SCOTUS Strikes Down NY’s Archaic Concealed Carry Gun Law
The National Review writes that “the Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that New York’s “proper-cause” requirement to obtain a concealed-carry license is unconstitutional as it violates ordinary citizens’ Second Amendment rights.” The 6-3 decision was written by Justice Clarence Thomas who used the 2nd and 14th Amendments and the decision in District of Columbia vs Heller as a basis to reject New York’s 1913 law that limited carrying concealed guns outside the home. Justice Thomas noted “We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need.” Kudos to Justice Thomas, Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Coney Barrett.

Brooklyn. NY – “Roe v. Wade was a constitutionally flawed decision that never should have been issued. Scholars have known that for decades. Today’s Supreme Court ruling simply returns abortion laws to state’s, which always should have maintained purview over this issue.
“Today’s decision is a great victory for those who value unborn life. It’s been 50 years in the making, and the New York State Conservative Party could not be more pleased.”

Brooklyn, NY – “Government religious discrimination, which for decades has denied school funding to students attending parochial, yeshivas, and other non-public schools, is just that — government sanctioned religious discrimination. Today’s long overdue 6-3 Supreme Court decision finally makes right an egregious wrong that has prevented countless lower-income students from getting the education they need to compete in the 21st Century. That will now thankfully change. The Conservative Party loudly applauds today’s decision.”
The four GOP candidates for Governor faced off in a televised debate earlier this week in which
there was a clear winner – our endorsed candidate Lee Zeldin. The other candidates on stage used their time to attack the front runner looking for their moment to shine, which Lee never gave.
With Primary Day less than two weeks away, and early voting beginning this weekend (June 18,) most credible polls show Zeldin with a solid lead but nothing can be taken for granted. If you are a Republican make a plan to vote. If you are a Conservative Party member speak with your Republican friends. Lee Zeldin provides us with the best opportunity to win in November. We cannot afford to gift Governor Hochul with an opponent who is not ready for primetime.
If you would like a Zeldin lawn sign, feel free to contact the Conservative Party at 718-921-2158 or the Zeldin campaign.
Big Night for Conservatives
The many solid conservative GOP candidates who won their primaries for Congress this past
week continues to set the stage for a successful midterm in which the Republicans appear ready to take what could be a significant majority in the United States House of Representatives.
In a political earthquake, Mayra Flores won the special election in Texas’s 34th Congressional District, a district Joe Biden won by 13% less than 2 years ago. This is a significant win as a Republican hasn’t represented this section of the Rio Grande Valley in over 100 years.
Right here in New York we have two upcoming Special Elections that are both rated “Lean Republican” one seat most recently represented by a Democrat. This is further indication that the climate that Democrats are heading into November is not friendly. This should come as no surprise as inflation is crippling middle class families all over the country as they struggle to buy groceries, gas, and pay bills.
Feds Raise Interest Rates
Imagine your car is racing down a hill when you apply the break and nothing happens. Your next move is to hit the emergency break, but you only begin to slowdown. At that point you need to depend on your skills of navigating to safely reach the bottom.
Think of America, the Biden Administration and the Federal Reserve. Inflation is actually picking
up steam and traditional methods of slowing it down have been mostly ineffective. Additionally, rate increases resulting in tighter money often have their own built-in downside. For some time, it has been apparent that a variety of failed Biden policies ranging from supply chain inadequacies to energy policies, foreign trade and even war spending have had a major negative impact on inflation.
The Federal Reserve will not solve the problem of inflation. The Biden Administration must and they are failing miserably.
The Made for TV January 6 Select Committee’s First Public Hearing
The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol aired its first public hearing on June 9, 2022. The Select Committee hired James Goldston (the former president of ABC News) to produce the six planned TV hearings and make them compelling to watch. If last night’s broadcast was any indication, the Select Committee, comprised of nine members (7 Democrats, Rep. Bennie Thompson, MS, Chairman, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, CA, Rep. Elaine Luria, VA, Rep. Adam Schiff, CA, Rep. Pete Aguilar, CA, Rep. Stephanie Murphy, FL and Rep. Jamie Raskin, MD and 2 Republicans, Rep. Liz Cheney, WY, Co-Chair and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, IL.) will not change anyone’s mind about the events of January 6, 2021. While the Select Committee is theoretically bi-partisan, every member has an agenda and is pushing their agenda rather than actually investigating every aspect and every questionable action by those who could/should have had enough security prior to Donald J. Trump’s remarks at Washington’s Ellipse where the former president spoke. The Select Committee did not tantalize viewers to watch the rest of the hearing with new information or a smoking gun. And it is also important to remember that every agency in charge of the security at the Capitol could have prevented the fateful event, but we doubt that will be included in the final findings of the Select Committee.
Inflation Hits Another Record High.
To no one’s surprise, inflation soared 8.6%, the worst since December, 1981. We did not need the latest CPI report to tell us. Every trip to buy groceries or purchase gas hurts the consumer and effects every other aspect of our everyday lives. There are even areas in the United States where police departments have used their allotted budget for gas and are unable to respond to emergencies.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo admitted Tuesday that the Biden administration is running out of options as it scrambles to bring down gas prices that have surged to record highs across the nation in recent weeks. Supposedly President Biden is looking for anything possible to combat the costs; how about resuming the policies that gave us affordable gasoline and made us energy independent? The Biden Administration is giving Americans “lip-service” about the cost of gasoline as this was his plan from his first day in office when he shut down the Keystone XL pipeline.
Good News from San Francisco
Voters from every political spectrum spoke loud and clear on Tuesday when they voted to recall DA Chesa Boudin – the son of Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, members of the Weather Underground and convicted murderers of Sgt. Edward Grady, Officer Waverly “Chipper” Brown, and Brinks guard Peter Paige, during the infamous Brinks Armored Robbery on October 20. 1981 in Nyack, NY. Chesa was raised by leftist radicals, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohm, here in Hyde Park, New York. Thankfully, the voters in San Francisco recalled him and his biased beliefs that he incorporated as the District Attorney. It was actually comical that he blamed ‘right-wing billionaires and police officers’ for his loss when his election was supported by George Soros who is dedicated to electing leftist district attorneys.

Brooklyn, NY – “The New York State Conservative Party thanks Congressman Chris Jacobs for his long service to the people of New York State. We were perplexed, however, by his recent stance on Second Amendment rights, a position well outside the mainstream of the Republican Party, the Conservative Party, and the voters of NY 23. We agree that it’s the best interest of all three — and of Congressman Jacobs himself — that he forgoes a run for reelection and returns to civilian life. We wish him only the best in his future endeavors.”
The new maps for Congress and State Senate not only change the political landscape in a
manner that will provide the Conservative Party with fair opportunities for the next ten years, it also created open seats in which candidates are now petitioning, some which will lead to primaries.
New energized candidates filling open seats and the possibility of those primaries are all part of a healthy political process and very much welcome by the Party. It certainly is not what the Democratic Party wanted to happen, but we believe in Democracy not one party control creating less competitive seats around the state, leaving voters with no choices.
We stopped the steal, now we need to fight back on the streets, in the mailboxes, on social media, digital and on the air with TV & radio. This year has become our best opportunity in a very long time to win elections and bring about positive change in New York.
Support the party and our candidates with time and if within your ability, financial support as well.
Albany Wraps Up Session
The Democrats in the legislature outdid themselves. Name the issue and you will find that they passed some of the worst legislation we have ever seen. Anti-second amendment, pro-abortion, unnecessary and expensive election changes just to name a few of the things that happened.
Then there is, of course, what did not happen such as pro law enforcement and public safety measures that our endorsed members proposed, as well as common sense measures to reduce the burden of out-of-control inflation that has hit New Yorkers hard at the pump, at the grocery store and while paying their rent.
One area that we did see success was our push back against a sneaky attempt by the Democrats to change the year of local elections without public hearings. We called foul, rightly claiming it was another Democratic effort to silence our voices. Together, with the GOP, our shouts were loud enough and our arguments sound to cause a Democratic retreat from this bad idea.
Biden’s Latest Terrible Idea
Since taking office, the Biden Administration has canceled $25 billion in total of student debt. Just this past week almost $6 billion was added as the Corinthian Colleges fraud was added into the mix. Any one of these former students who took economics 101 knows there is “No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.” Someone is paying the bill, and that someone is you, the taxpayer.
I certainly acknowledge there is a problem with college costs and for that matter medical costs, or really just about every cost these days. However, the massive forgiving of student debt, even in the case of Corinthian schools in misleading students and parents, cannot be the best answer.
It is unfair to taxpayers and the millions who properly paid back their debt to burden the costs of others, especially now as every aspect of our life continues to get more expensive as wages are not rising fast enough to offset inflation.

Brooklyn, NY – “The proposed John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act in Albany is unnecessary, unmanageable, and overly expensive. The New York State Conservative Party strongly opposes its passage.
“Voting in New York has never been easier or more inclusive. Ballots are printed in multiple languages; early voting takes place for a full 10 days prior to an election, and diverse slates of candidates are elected to public office every year under the current system. There is no need to add new, bureaucratic and redundant layers to a voting process that already works.
“This proposal seeks to resolve a problem that doesn’t exist at enormous cost to taxpayers. It should be added to the growing pile of bad ideas out of Albany.”
This Memorial Day, Americans across the country will gather with family and friends for cookouts, parties and parades. All fun and rewarding experiences with those you love most in your life. However, it remains important that we take time to remember what the weekend is really about—celebrating the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country.
As President Ronald Reagan once quoted freedom is not free. Our veterans are one of the many symbols that make our country great. As we are enjoying our long weekend, keep in mind that every American flag you see flying, flies because of the sacrifice made by the members of our United States Armed Forces both past and present.

Brooklyn, NY – “The senseless murder of Daniel Enriquez on a Q Train this weekend — in broad daylight — strikes fear in the hearts of even the most hardened New Yorkers.
“It’s the latest infuriating example of how far New York City has fallen since the de Blasio Administration and Democrat-led state legislature began dismantling the effective, conservative crime fighting strategies of Governor George Pataki and Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg.
“This is what happens when Broken Windows policing is abandoned; when police presence is reduced; when no-cash-bail is enacted, and when undercover officers are outlawed. This is what happens when criminals are given priority over crime victims.
“Mayor Eric Adams has pledged to put more police officers on subway platforms and moving trains, but we wonder, frankly, whether he has enough officers at this point to pull that off. He must lead the effort to return the NYPD to effective personnel levels.
“We also need to elect a Republican governor this year who can stand up to a State Legislature that’s been infected by the dangerous academic movement called wokeism. It doesn’t work. All wokeism does is give us more crime victims to memorialize. We mourn Mr. Enriquez and his family, and pray that his murder does not go unanswered. The current situation has to change.”

Brooklyn, NY - “The New York State Conservative Party is pleased that lines have been finalized for 2022 state and federal races. What we wanted — and the courts agreed — was a fair and competitive set of districts that offer voters a real choice in November. With crime rising, inflation skyrocketing, and taxes remaining the highest in the nation, voters must be given viable alternatives at the voting booth. That’s the foundation of democracy, and we celebrate it today.
“This is a victory for healthy political competition, and a historic defeat for corrupt, Tammany Hall governance.”
