Gov. Hochul, you’re the real ‘data denier’ on surging crime “Master manipulators,” she said Sunday, “have this conspiracy going” to “convince people in Democratic states that they’re not as safe.” But “the safer places are the Democratic states.”

Crime soared on Hochul’s watch — and there’s no ‘denying’ the data

Fed up with a surge in shoplifting, a coalition of mostly Latino supermarket owners across the New York City area are raising $70,000 to back Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin in the last days before the election, The Post has learned.  Latino supermarket owners back Lee Zeldin with $70K fundraiser as crime surges

Why NYC Democrats are supporting Republican Lee Zeldin for governor.  “We no longer identify with the Democrats. They are out of touch with the middle class and the people in the community. They all have agendas, thinking that it’s all about just being like, liberal. They think everybody’s liberal like that, but we aren’t. Our values align much more now with what conservatives want.”

Mark Penn was a pollster and adviser to President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton from 1995 to 2008. He is chairman of the Harris Poll and C.E.O. of Stagwell Inc. and has this column in the New York Times:  Why a Pro-Trump Conservative Might Win the New York Governor’s Race.

Andrew Stein, a former Democratic New York City Council president, has this Op-Ed in today’s NY Post:  Electing Zeldin is the only way to fix New York’s nursing homes

Lee Zeldin will provide the leadership New York is missing from Kathy Hochul.

The Democrats may be splintered, but certainly not ready to throw in the towel as evidenced by this:  Lee Zeldin surge in New York governor race prompts Democrats to create Hochul super PAC.  The Democratic Party has already given Hochul $69,700 and the State Democratic committee another $219,800.  At this time, it is unknown how much the DGA (Democratic Governors Association) will contribute to the super PAC.  What we do know, is we must keep up the momentum!

What Kathy Hochul said is reprehensible.

Watch the debate here and see that Joe Pinion is concerned about New Yorkers and wants to go to Washington to make all lives better.

Kathy “pay-to-play” Hochul agreed to.  In case you missed the debate, you can watch it here.   You can read Chairman Kassar’s statement on the debate here.

Senate Majority Leader, New York’s senior Senator Charles Schumer, not knowing he was being recorded:  Schumer: Fetterman’s Dismal Debate Performance ‘Didn’t Hurt Us Too Much’.  As this blog noted yesterday, the leadership of the Democrat Party are only interested in keeping their majority. As if that were not enough, he went on to say: “It’s hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker.” Schumer caught on hot mic telling Biden that Georgia’s Senate race is ‘going downhill’ for Dems, making it obvious he prefers, Rev. Raphael Warnock, who sounds a lot Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., when preaching and serves homeless people living in the Church’s apartment complex an eviction notice when they fall behind.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul Ignores Reality During Debate, Lee Zeldin Calls Her Out on It…Repeatedly

This is all you need to know about Gov. Hochul:  “Gov. Kathy Hochul stunningly said she didn’t know why it’s “so important” to lock up criminals when confronted by Republican challenger Lee Zeldin over the state’s controversial bail reform law during their first and only debate Tuesday night.”

Lee Zeldin shows he understands crime crisis Hochul dismisses

Former NYPD inspector drops bombshell, believes Dem Mayor Adams wants Republican Lee Zeldin to become governor

Zeldin did Tuesday what he has done for months — doggedly fault the incumbent and offer big plans for big reforms, especially on matters of crime, taxes, energy policy and spending cuts. He also was effective in hitting her on the outrageous pay-to-play pattern that is undeniable.

Much of her response on crime also reeked of the same desperation that the governor has had in recent days as the race has been tightening, though it’s very much been too little too late, just like the plan she released days before, though she has been governor for over a year.

This should be interesting:  Biden, Harris to make rare campaign appearance as duo to help Fetterman. The disconcerting thing about this, is that it shows how democrats think. After the debate between Fetterman and Oz, all most everyone reached the conclusion that Fetterman would have serious problems on the Senate Floor as a result of the stroke he suffered in May of this year. Yet, Biden and Harris will campaign for him to win. That fact tells me that constituents do not matter; the only thing that matters is keeping democrats in the majority.

Wow, talk about being out of touch with the real world; I guess one forgets what it is like when they have a security detail for protection. Kathy Hochul dismisses NYer concerns on violent crime wave as ‘sense of fear’. Hochul on Monday became the latest Democratic politician to downplay New Yorkers’ worries over subway and street crime amid a surge in violent attacks — chalking it up to a few “high-profile” crimes that have “created a sense of fear in people’s minds.”

Seriously, Mayor Adams…have you forgotten the platform you ran on? Adams tones down bail reform talk. “Adams’ pivot away from bail reform contrasts his previous focus on the issue.”  Maybe his real interest in running for Mayor was the night life that he certainly takes time to enjoy.

And yet, every day the drug cartels bring more and more into our country at an open border that the Biden Administration refuses to close down.

Why Lee Zeldin is gaining ground on Kathy Hochul in the N.Y. governor’s race. When the NY Daily News runs an article that explains why Lee Zeldin is gaining ground on Kathy Hochul, you know Gov. Kathy “pay-to-play” Hochul is in trouble.

Not so fast, gov: you could lose!

NY hotel industry showers Gov. Kathy Hochul with campaign cash following bailout plan. “A key element of the recovery plan included a $100 million Tourism Worker Recovery Fund that provided a one-time payment of $2,750 to up to 36,000 hotel workers and other tourism industry workers whose unemployment benefits expired.”  Reminder, those are your tax dollars giving the hotel workers a one-time payment of $2,750 and did other workers who ran out of unemployment benefits get a one-time payment or just hotel workers whose industry showered Gov. Hochul with campaign cash.

2022 Fall Reception

Our Fall Reception marking the Party’s 60th Anniversary was a great success. We returned to the Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle; a beautiful venue nestled on the waterfront.

We were honored to have Newsmax’s White House Correspondent, John Gizzi, as our Ronald Reagan Journalism Award recipient and Larry Kudlow as our featured guest speaker.

The gathering, coming on the heels of excellent statewide and local polling, was highly energized. You could feel the momentum in the room. US Senate candidate Joe Pinion, Attorney General candidate Michael Henry and Comptroller candidate Paul Rodriquez each took a few moments to deliver remarks. Gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin was a part of every conversation from the podium to the reception floor. We are just 18 days away from saving New York. We must keep this momentum moving in the right direction.

It was also very clear that Chairman Emeritus Mike Long, the Chairman for almost half of the party’s history, was on many minds, as one would expect at the 60th Anniversary event. It was a fine evening remembering Mike and telling the story of the Conservative Party’s history and his enormous role in it.

It has been an honor for me to chair the Conservative Party these past few years. I am keenly aware of the history that brought us to where we are today. It is my sincere hope that in 2022 we will write a new page for a great political party and a fine group of people who make the party what it is today.

Big November Wins on the Horizon

News coming out of Washington indicates late summer/early fall numbers that showed momentum for Conservatives and Republicans had slowed, or even stopped, have returned to levels not seen in decades.

The US Senate is once again in play for the GOP with places like Pennsylvania and Arizona showing great promise. The House always expected to move into GOP control looks like it could once again see large Republican/Conservative gains.

In New York I expect to see 9, 10 or even 11 Republican/Conservative members of Congress. Currently, that number sits at 8.

The State Senate is poised to see many GOP/Conservative gains as well. And a shocker for many is the likelihood that the Assembly Republicans will see their greatest number of wins since 1994.

As much as the strong efforts of our party and its candidates are responsible for the pending gains, much credit should also, sadly, go to the Democratic Party. Their policies and candidates who gave us out of control inflation, unsafe streets, porous borders and a foreign policy that has made the United States unable to project the influence of a great power, have led to a New York State and America clearly on a decline. Look no further than the New York Post article in which a City Hall staffer admitted the Eric Adams Administration has no idea what to do with illegal immigrants flooding into NYC.

It is my continued ask that we do not get complacent, we must work hard and get out every single vote either through Absentee Ballot, Early Voting, or on Election Day November 8^th. We’re almost there!

Early Voting October 29 through November 6

Early voting as you know is in person voting. Our voters should take advantage of this nine day opportunity to cast their vote early. It helps ensure our vote is coming out in large numbers. To win in New York State we need every person who thinks the way we do, or believes the state is heading in the wrong direction, to get out and vote!

If we lose, it will be because we did not vote. Conservatives and Republicans who don’t vote do one thing—elect Democrats. The Democratic Party has such a large voter advantage, we cannot afford to leave votes on the table. Of course, if for some reason you do not vote early, make sure you make a plan for you and your family to vote on November 8^th.

Early Vote and Election Day Volunteers

If you are not already committed to local Conservative Party efforts, I ask you to contact the State Conservative Party at 718-921-2158 or by E-mail at nyscp@aol.com in order for us to make you part of our final GOTV and ballot security efforts.

Of course, you will be assigned to your local community. The point simply being that we need to get the vote out and can take no chances with the integrity of our elections.
