NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY ANNOUNCES MAUD MARON ON BALLOT FOR MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY

“Maud Maron is the obvious choice for anyone interested in public safety.”

New York, NY — The New York State Conservative Party is proud to announce that its endorsed candidate for Manhattan District Attorney, Maud Maron, is now officially on the ballot and campaigning tirelessly across the borough to restore law, order, and common sense after four years of criminal justice negligence by failed incumbent D.A. Alvin Bragg. Mr. Bragg has become a national lightning rod for controversial liberal criminal justice policies that led to the ongoing crime wave in New York.

With more than two decades of experience in New York’s criminal justice system, Maron has built a career as a fearless advocate for public safety, equal justice, and educational excellence. From her work training new attorneys at the Legal Aid Society to her teaching role at Cardozo Law School, she has prepared a generation of lawyers to stand up for justice while never losing sight of the victims and communities that deserve protection, the Conservative Party noted.

“Maud Maron is exactly what Manhattan needs right now—smart, tough, and unafraid to speak the truth,” said State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar. “Ms. Maron spent over 20 years in the trenches of our justice system, training lawyers and fighting for fairness. Maud understands that public safety isn’t a slogan—it’s a necessity. I’m proud to support her. She’s got the backbone and the brains to get this city back on track.”

Maron’s campaign is already gaining traction with voters fed up with the chaos in the subways, the revolving door of justice, and the steady erosion of trust in city leadership, the Conservative Party said. Her message is clear: safety and sanity are non-negotiable.

“Alvin Bragg and his progressive colleagues took a relatively safe city and ran it into the ground with criminal permissiveness,” Chairman Kassar continued. “It is yet another example of American liberalism failing to learn essential lessons time after time after time. Manhattanites of all parties should rejoice at the option they’ll have in November. Maud Maron is the obvious choice for anyone interested in public safety.”

CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR PRAISES CONGRESSWOMAN TENNEY FOR HIGH-QUALITY CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT

“The Conservative Party of New York State congratulates Congresswoman Claudia Tenney on introducing the High-Quality Charter Schools Act. If passed, this visionary legislation would open up game-changing possibilities for millions of parents—not just in New York, but across the country. We also praise Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis for her strong support of the bill in Congress.

“For too long, families—especially those in underserved communities—have been trapped in failing schools with no way out. Congresswoman Tenney’s smart measure opens the door to high-performing charter schools and empowers parents with real choices about their children’s education. Backed by a $5 billion tax credit program, this plan rewards charitable investment in success and innovation—not bureaucratic stagnation.

“Claudia Tenney and Nicole Malliotakis are once again showing what it means to put families first. They understand that zip code should never be destiny, and that every child deserves the chance to attend a school that meets their needs and unlocks their potential.

“School choice isn’t just good policy—it’s a moral imperative. The Conservative Party stands firmly behind this effort and commends our representatives for leading the charge.”

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on the Appointment of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik

“Elise Stefanik’s rise to Chairwoman of House Republican Leadership is not just a personal achievement—it’s a major win for conservatives across New York and the nation. Elise is tough, she’s smart, and she’s never backed down from a fight. Whether it’s standing up to the radical left or championing the America First agenda, Elise has led from the front with backbone and results.

“This appointment is proof that hard work, clear convictions, and real leadership still matter in Washington. Elise didn’t just earn this role—she redefined what it means to lead with courage and clarity in a time when our country needs both.

“The Conservative Party is proud to call her an ally, and we look forward to continuing to work with Chairwoman Stefanik as she helps drive a Republican resurgence rooted in principle, strength, and common sense.”

Gov. Hochul’s Decision to Release Prisoners Early Because of State Incompetence is Not an April Fool’s Joke: New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“New Yorkers who thought Governor Kathy Hochul was kidding about releasing convicted prisoners early because of staff shortages — or because it’s April Fool’s Day — will be shocked to learn that it’s true after all. The Governor is actually planning to release convicted felons back into our communities because there aren’t enough officers to guard them.

“It’s hard to overstate how badly Governor Hochul and her progressive colleagues in Albany have screwed up New York’s criminal justice system. They turned the greatest crime-fighting state in America into a national laughing-stock in a single generation. Progressivism at its finest.”

Statement on Non-Citizen-Voting Court of Appeals Victory from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“In a major victory for common sense, the New York State Conservative Party and other clear-eyed plaintiffs just succeeded in their legal effort to prohibit non-citizen voting in New York City.  This historic 6-1 Court of Appeals decision is a win for every citizen of New York State. The fact that the case was overwhelmingly decided by a left-of-center court reflects on just how fundamental this suit was to U.S. democracy.

“The woke political left has tried to erase every distinction between citizens and foreigners in this country for decades. Their audacious attempt to add up 800,000 non-citizen voters to the New York City election rolls would have created a precedent for radical leftists nationwide. We shut that down today in, of all places, liberal New York. Maybe there’s some hope out there after all.”

Statement on New Goldman Sachs Campus — IN DALLAS! — from
New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“When Goldman Sachs can’t afford New York, we’re in bigger trouble than we thought. Every common-sense political leader in New York State should now realize that.

“The opening of Goldman’s Sachs’s 800,000 square-foot campus in Dallas is a shot across the bow that even Governor Hochul and her progressive colleagues running the State Legislature can’t miss.

“So what’s the plan, Governor? New Yorkers are watching their economic pillars exit the state one by one. Five thousand Goldman Sachs jobs just moved to Dallas.  What are you doing about it, other than making things worse?”

Full Statement on President Trump’s Address to Joint Session of Congress from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“President Donald Trump’s address was a tour de force of energy and ideas. It made clear that, not only is America back, Americans are back as well.

“The President spoke plainly about the things Americans actually care about — U.S. job and wage growth, secure borders, public safety, peace through strength, national pride, and an education system that teaches rather than indoctrinates. These are common-sense conservative aims that have served as guideposts in the long and historically successful American experiment.

“President Trump’s mandate to bring common sense back to America has captured the public’s imagination and given the nation a clear path forward for the first time in a long time. The long American winter is ending.”

Statement on President Trump’s Address to the Joint Session of Congress from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“President Donald Trump has gotten out faster than any president in U.S. history. Tonight’s address was a tour de force of energy and ideas. His mandate to bring common sense back to America has captured the public’s imagination and given the nation a clear path forward for the first time in a long time.

“Democrats in the House Chamber badly embarrassed themselves tonight with gimmicks and disruptions. They showed their growing irrelevance on the national stage.”

Statement on Gov. Hochul Corrections Officer Firings from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“New York State Corrections Officers are striking because the Hochul Administration has failed to adequately protect officers, male and female, from years of inmate assaults spurred on by lax progressive ‘reforms.’ Now, because she failed to do her job protecting state employees, Governor Hochul is erroneously citing the Taylor Law to fire longstanding Corrections Officers, stripping their families of both income and healthcare benefits.  It’s outrageous.

”New York State Corrections Officers have a primary right to safety in the workplace. The State of New York isn’t providing it. It needs to. Get your act together, Madame Governor, and stop blaming Corrections employees for the State’s obvious failures. If you’re not willing to do your job, the courts need to step in and do it for you. Corrections Officers have a right to personal safety.”

Statement on Corrupt $5.1 Million Cuomo Book Deal/Ethics Commission from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“Although the Conservative Party does not support a state ethics commission that allows law school deans to play a decisive role in the commission’s membership, we do support this week’s Court of Appeals decision.

“Mr. Cuomo’s book contract was negotiated at the same time that his administration was hiding data on the number of nursing home deaths in New York, a clear possible motive for malfeasance. In addition, taxpayer-paid state workers were used to help Mr. Cuomo write the book, at a minimum an ethics violation, The hefty advance on Mr. Cuomo’s book, ‘American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,’ moreover, was way out of proportion with industry norms.

“New Yorkers need to learn exactly what happened. The Cuomo book deal reeks.”
