Brooklyn, NY – “The Conservative Party was pleased to see a bipartisan spirit of cooperation Tuesday over Russia’s vicious and illegal invasion of democratic Ukraine. We urge President Biden and Congress to redouble U.S. efforts to cripple Russia’s already faltering economy and to provide brave Ukraine with the lethal weaponry needed to defend itself.

“We were anything but pleased, though, with President Biden’s domestic agenda that subscribes to the failed and magical liberal philosophy that the more government spends the more it saves. That’s how you drive an economy into the ground.

“What’s needed is a long-term plan to stop the government overspending driving the most rapid inflation growth in 40 years. Americans once reached for the moon. Now, they reach ever more deeply into their pockets just to pay the interest on U.S. debt. That’s not a sustainable practice, and, until proper fiscal stewardship enters Washington’s vernacular, our woes at the supermarket and gas pump will go on.”

David versus Goliath again in 2022

On Saturday, conservatives from across all sections of our state gathered in Westchester County to  nominate its statewide slate of candidates for the upcoming November elections: New York Conservative Party designates candidate slate and Political right highlights 2022 talking points at Conservative Party convention are just two of the news articles regarding our convention.  We did broadcast it live on Facebook, and if you want to see the enthusiasm and energy you can view it here.  Our candidates, Lee M. Zeldin for governor, Alison Espositio for Lt. Governor, Paul A. Rodriguez for NYS Comptroller, Michael L. Henry for NYS Attorney General and Joe Pinion for United States Senator from New York State are all dedicated to Saving Our State from the one-party rule that has led to increased crime, loss of jobs and population and parents being forced out of our children’s education by overzealous school boards subjecting them to indoctrination, mandates and masks. Our candidates and our Conservative Party are eager to restore New York to it Empire State status.

Governor Hochul has responded to the outcry of parents and those who have fought to end the mask mandate on our students by ending the mask mandate on March 2, while NYC is looking to end it on March 7.  Gov. Hochul is “reading the tea leaves” knowing full well that parents are fed up with the restrictions placed on our children.  Government overstepped its role during this pandemic, refusing to listen to the science while preaching, no demanding, we obey what they said.  We will not forget this in November, knowing full well, that if “forgive” the damage done to our children, the “woke” government will not hesitate to reinstate their controlling our freedom.  Leopards do not/cannot change their spots.

The Conservative Party will be at the forefront of reminding government’s elected officials that America is a Republic that was created by and for the people “We the people of the United States…do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.”  The United States of America’s government is the everyday citizen, not the elected officials who believe they decide how to run it; they are there to follow what we decide; and when they do not; we will replace them.  During the dark days of our young nation’s Civil War, Abraham Lincoln ended his Gettysburg Address with this, “and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”  We the people who live, work, love and understand New York State will save our state on November 8, 2022.

This 99-year-old public servant deserves to see his name on a monument.

Our reporting and analysis show our awe of Ukrainians’ staunch defiance of Vladimir Putin’s tanks, planes, missiles and conscript army. Ukrainians have become heroes to the free world.

The Post stands with the people of Ukraine in their heroic struggle for freedom.”  See it for yourself here.

CONSERVATIVE PARTY ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL CANDIDATES FOR STATEWIDE OFFICES

New York – Feb. 26…The New York State Conservative Party today announced its official slate of statewide candidates for 2022. The candidates were formally selected on Saturday at the Party’s annual candidate convention held at the Westchester Manor in Hastings-On-Hudson, NY. They are:

Governor:                  Rep. Lee Zeldin

Lt. Governor:            Alison Esposito

U.S. Senate:              Joe Pinion

Comptroller:             Paul Rodriguez

Attorney General:    Michael Henry

“The Conservative Party is proud to put forward a superb slate of candidates for statewide offices,” said New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar. “We had a broad group of candidates requesting our party line, and after extensive deliberations we chose the most qualified and electable candidates who came before us. New York State is in desperate need of reform — ethically, economically, and in public safety policy  — and these candidates have what it takes to get the job done. New York voters deserve a lot better than they’re getting from a one-party rule in Albany and a Democrat-led U.S. Senate, and we are confident that these candidates will deliver for them.”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap discusses the Ukraine situation, reapportionment and Allison Esposito for Lt. Governor.

Russia Invades the Ukraine

Vladimir Putin’s Russia revealed itself as a pariah state this week as it launched an unprovoked invasion of Democratic Ukraine.

The New York State Conservative Party urges President Biden and other world leaders to impose the most severe sanctions possible on Putin’s Russian regime.

Ukraine is a free and independent nation that escaped the grasp of Marxism a generation ago. It must not be lost to totalitarianism again. To the brave Ukrainians who have taken up arms to defend their homeland and democracy, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you all the strength in the world to repeal back this invasion.  Read our statement on Russia’s invasion here.

Reapportionment

 The New York State Supreme Court in Steuben County will hear the major case objecting to the new New York State Senate and House of Representatives district lines.

The hearing is set to be held on Thursday, March 3rd. We expect a decision soon after and remain hopeful that we will have a successful day in court. The State Constitution outlines numerous criteria for a fair and equitable reapportionment.

Many members of the media and political scene, regardless of party affiliation, in NY and across the country have spoken out against the gerrymandered lines presented to us by the Democratic state legislature. We believe we will present strong arguments that must be taken into serious consideration.

 Alison Esposito for Lt. Governor

 I was pleased to attend Lee Zeldin’s announcement Wednesday as he named his running mate for Lt. Governor, Deputy Inspector Alison Esposito.

Inspector Esposito is a retiring member of the NYPD who will bring an abundance of knowledge and experience in law enforcement at a time when New York City and State desperately need it.

What may not be as obvious is her wide range of experience throughout NYC’s diverse communities or her proven ability to lead in the most stressful of circumstances.

Born and raised in Orange County, and a current Manhattan resident, Alison is a well-studied conservative with solid core beliefs. Together with Zeldin they will return the executive chamber to common sense, conservative control.

Zeldin, Esposito and the rest of the statewide tickets will be nominated on Saturday afternoon at our convention to be held at the Westchester Manor with check-in beginning at 1:00 pm. I look forward to a good convention with many of you in attendance.

Brooklyn, NY – “Harry Wilson’s support for radical Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg makes him ineligible for serious consideration by Conservative and Republican voters. Mr. Wilson claims, hypothetically, that he’d remove an Alvin Bragg as governor, but his actions speak louder than words. By giving Mr. Bragg a $1,000 donation, he effectively endorsed him for office, an extraordinary lapse in judgment.

“Mr. Wilson’s decision to enter this race just days before the Conservative and Republican Party conventions — after remaining politically dormant for the past 12 years — also strikes us as more destructive than constructive. Where has he been all these years?

“The Conservative Party reiterates its firm support for Congressman Lee Zeldin for governor. Congressman Zeldin has the background, knowledge, and understanding of issues needed to make a great leader of our state. He is a proud combat veteran with a work ethic like no other candidate. Congressman Zeldin will make an outstanding Conservative Party nominee, and an even more outstanding governor.”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the state Democratic Convention, on the road again and our upcoming statewide nominating convention.

State Democratic Convention

 Hillary Clinton addressed the NY State Democratic Convention this week and sounded more like a candidate than surrogate for the state party. Clearly Clinton is not yet over her defeat at the hands of President Trump in the 2016 election as evident by her speech Thursday in which she continued to obsess over Trump and Fox News.

Though she finally did get around to endorsing Gov. Hochul, it is clear the power hungry Clinton may not be ready to go away just yet and it is abundantly clear that there is dissention within the New York Democratic Party.  A sizeable contingency of attendees voiced their displeasure with the party’s endorsement of Hochul, instead opting to support Rep. Tom Suozzi who intends to primary Hochul this June.

While the Conservative and Republican Parties are unified together, the same cannot be said for the Democrats who will face their toughest challenge in years.

On the Road

 What’s better then attending a county Conservative Party event with 350 people in the room? Having your keynote speaker the next Governor of New York. That is exactly the enviable position I found myself in when I attended the Monroe County Conservative Party annual dinner in Rochester. Congrats to Chairman Don Mazzullo who put together an amazing dinner filled with energy and positive vibes for the year ahead.

Our presumptive nominee for Governor, Congressman Lee Zeldin, once again proved if you want leadership in New York – you want Zeldin. We were happy to also be joined by US Senate candidate Joe Pinion and Attorney General candidate John Sarcone.

I look forward to more successful county organization events as we continue our march towards November.

Conservative Party to Nominate Statewide Ticket

The New York State Conservative Party will hold its State Committee meeting to nominate our candidates for Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Controller and US Senate on Saturday, February 26 at 2pm with the venue being at the Westchester Manor, 140 Saw Mill River Rd., Hastings-On-Hudson, NY 10706.  The convention is open to the public, we ask non-delegates to please register by calling headquarters at 718-921-2158.  We encourage everyone to attend and join us for what will be a good afternoon providing great insight into the convention process.

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on the Murder of Christina Yuna Lee Allegedly by Man on Cashless Bail

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brooklyn, NY – “Christina Yuna Lee was an accomplished and beautiful young woman in the prime of her life. Her brutal and senseless murder, allegedly at the hands of a man who should have been in jail at the time — not on cashless bail — is an infuriating example of just how far New York has fallen because of Albany and City Hall criminal justice policy blunders. How many more neighbors will we lose before no-cash-bail is repealed and Broken-window policing is restored? How much more evidence do we need that these progressive, soft-on-crime experiments aren’t working?

“Ms. Lee’s murder should shake this city to its core because it shows just how vulnerable we all are when chaos is allowed to rule the streets. But more than that, it demands the return of common-sense policing in New York.

“The Conservative Party mourns the loss of Ms. Lee, and prays that her family finds peace again one day. We will not forget her, nor will we forget the policy that kept her alleged assailant on the street when he should have been in jail.”
