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

February 15, 2022

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.”

Governor Hochul continues to ignore the majority voice of New Yorkers.

It really is disturbing how our current Governor is determined to override the voice of New Yorkers when it comes to ballot access.  Governor Hochul, the voters spoke loud and clearly in November when they were asked to vote on three statewide ballots that concerned voting in New York state.  Yet you persist in trying to override our voices:  Hochul pledges more aggressive efforts on voting laws.  You are the governor of New York, not an overlord of the people who live here; you work for us, you are elected by the people, and quite frankly, your days are numbered.  “I will be very involved in ballot issues,” she said. “Sometimes issues when you think they’re so simple and commonsensical and that there will be unified support behind them, people don’t take it out there to streets and fight, they get hijacked by other forces and then that’s how you lose.”  In other words, just give me total control so we can win all the time.

Stop pretending non-citizen voting is normal—it’s not.

Biden snaps at ‘wise guy’ Lester Holt for noting how president was wrong about inflation.  I guess President Biden is feeling the heat of his falling poll numbers and the increasing pressure of not being able to give the leftist-lemmings all that they demand. What he must come to understand is that we Americans are feeling the pressure of the largest increase in inflation since 1982…and his spending and policies are directly responsible.  Snapping at a reporter, who has always been friendly to the democratic cause, indicates he knows his policies are the problem, and very unbecoming for someone who pledged to be a “uniter.”  Latest inflation surge brings new political peril for Biden, Democrats.

Border smugglers use social media to recruit kids, urge reckless driving to evade Border Patrol.  “The cartels dangle big paydays in front of the kids and assure them that because they’re juveniles, they won’t face severe consequences if they’re caught.
