Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the latest on redistricting, Joe Pinion for US Senate, the new Buffalo Bills stadium and President Biden’s latest gaffes.

Breaking Redistricting News

Yesterday, a New York Supreme Court Judge ruled new district lines for Congress, State Senate and the Assembly created by the highly partisan Democratic leadership of the New York Legislature and signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul, are in violation of the New York State Constitution. He ordered new bi-partisan maps to be submitted no later than April 11th. Of course, the Democratic leadership of the Legislature appealed. A stay has been issued as the case makes its way to the 4th Department in Rochester.

We are very pleased with this well-written, thoughtful decision which at its heart says that the reapportionment process overseen by the Democrats in the Legislature was tainted from its earliest stages.

Additionally, countless editorial boards and interested organizations have favorably commented on Judge McAllister’s decision.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter or Facebook for updates and click here to read my statement.

Joe Pinion for United States Senate

Joe Pinion is an advocate, entrepreneur, and political news commentator. Throughout his life, Joe has witnessed both the power of opportunity and the pernicious impact of government driven neglect.

From the faces within his own family to the stories he has helped explore from behind a news desk, Joe personally understands the realities confronting the everyday people that call New York home.

Joe, born and raised in Yonkers, NY by his mother and grandmother, graduated from Horace Mann High School. A standout student-athlete, he was recruited to play football at Colgate University, where he was a 2 year varsity letter winner and a member of the 2003 team that finished 15-1 and played in the I-AA National Championship.

In that same time, and much more, Chuck Schumer has been a career politician. A career that spans nearly 50 years, Schumer knows nothing except tax-payer funded paychecks. He does, however, have an ownership stake in New York—particularly in the states decline.

Known for Sunday press conferences and bragging about visiting all 62 counties annually, he is short on accomplishments. New York is ready for change.  Chuck Schumer’s vision for New York is stale.  Joe Pinion is our vehicle for change.

New Stadium Bad deal for New York Taxpayers

 Government certainly can play an important role in supporting its home teams, but $850 million in taxpayer dollars to construct a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills is not a proper use of state funds.

There has been a great deal of talk that these types of expenditures have become common

around the nation, that should not be the case. In fact, they should not be happening at all. Not only is this deal not beneficial to New Yorker’s, it far exceeds what other localities have given to other teams.

While we wish the Bills another exceptional season, we believe its billionaire primary owner should not become wealthier as a result of enormous injections of taxpayer cash.

Joe Biden’s Gaffs Continue

 Either President Biden had some great strategy in mind when he spoke of regime changes in Russia or it just goes down as another one of his countless unhinged gaffs. In this case, I am going to go with another, albeit, very dangerous gaff.

Ironically, I totally agree that regime change is necessary in Russia. I also feel strongly that Putin

should be tried for war crimes even if it needs to be in absentia. The problem for the world is that Joe Biden is not like everybody. Whether he was telegraphing a time line for US Troop withdrawals from Afghanistan or commenting on the leadership and government of Russia, he needs to recognize that as President his words can have incredible consequences.

I hope one day our “friends” in the mainstream media will hold him accountable, though I won’t hold my breath. We must continue to report, in good faith, what we see and hear ourselves as it is clear the media will continue to shill on behalf of this administration.

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar 

Brooklyn, NY – “The Democratic Party got caught today being undemocratic. Its attempt to rig elections and to shut down political dissent in New York through outrageous gerrymandering was fortunately thwarted in New York State Supreme Court.

“Just a glance at these lines revealed them as ridiculously tainted. Now the Democrats must go back to the drawing board and have new lines ready in less than two weeks. We applaud the court’s decision, and urge them to keep an eye on every pencil line the Democrats draw over the next 11 days. They are not to be trusted.”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the petitioning process, broken window theory return and our J. Daniel Mahoney Legislative Reception in Albany this week.

Petitioning Final Stretch

As you know nominating petitions move the party’s rhetoric into action by placing our endorsed candidates for Congress & the State Legislature on the ballot. They also are necessary to organize the Party’s State and County Committees which are the basic units upon which political parties function.

It is important that all registered Conservative Party members sign a party petition. In some cases, a party member would have been at your door or made other arrangements to obtain your signature. With 155,000 enrolled party members many will be missed, so we need your help.

If you (a registered conservative)  have not yet signed a nominating petition, please contact your local Conservative Party leader. If you need assistance locating the proper contact, call our headquarters at (718)-921-2158 and we will put you in touch with a local party representative.

Your signature on a Conservative petition is vital to our functioning as a party and time is running out.

Broken Windows Theory of Policing Returns to NYC

There are many parts of Mayor Adams’s agenda that the Conservative Party does not support. Fortunately in one key area, public safety, the Conservative Party and most city residents agree with the Mayor’s efforts.

The anti-crime unit, albeit with a new name, are making an effective comeback taking guns and criminals off the streets.  Currently at half strength, the NYPD expects 400 or so men and women to fill these highly trained specialized units.

In addition, the Mayor has announced a crackdown on quality of life crimes like turnstile jumpers and shoplifters.  This is a return of “Broken Windows Theory of Law Enforcement.” At its heart it works to stop small time offenses before those perpetrating them move onto committing bigger crimes.

The broken windows theory had been proven to work in New York City until Bill

de Blasio did away with this policing tactic.  We hope the return of common sense policing will restore some law and order and give peace of mind to residents and guests of the city.

Conservative Party Presents J. Daniel Mahoney Award

Our Legislative Reception held in Albany this past Monday was hugely successful with a large, enthusiastic crowd cheering our two honorees, as well as the campaigns ahead of us. I want to thank everyone who came out to support the party and those who continue to fight alongside us as we move into this very important election season.

One thing was crystal clear, the Conservative Party, our incumbents, and our new candidates are expecting that our winning ways from 2021 will continue into November.

Our award winners, Broome County Chairman Aaron Martin, and Suffolk County Chairman Mike Torres, were a gigantic part of our 2021 success. We were very pleased to honor them and look forward to working together to deliver more results this November.
