TRUMP CONSERVATIVE PARTY VOTE HIGHEST SINCE 1972
—–
Conservative Vote More Than Doubles Party Registration
—–
President-Elect Has Second, Third, and Fourth Highest Conservative Party Vote Count in History

Brooklyn, NY – Dec. 10…Monday’s vote certification by the New York State Board of Elections confirms that President Donald Trump received more votes on the New York State Conservative Party line for President than any other presidential candidate since 1972, New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar today announced.

Mr. Trump officially garnered 321,733 votes on the Conservative Party line this year, more than twice the Party’s statewide registration (158,797.) Indeed, in his three runs for President, Mr. Trump scored the second (2024: 321,733), third (2020: 296,335), and fourth highest (2016: 292,292) vote totals in the Party’s 62-year history. President-elect Trump did better in New York with each subsequent election, the Party noted.

“President-elect Donald Trump knocked it out of the park on the Conservative Party line in New York,” Chairman Kassar said. “His vote tallies are the second, third, and fourth highest vote tallies in our 62-year history, and that’s pretty extraordinary. But what should impress people most is that New Yorkers — subject to a never-ending barrage of left-wing media — increased their vote tally for President Trump in each of his three runs. They saw through the nonsense and voted for common sense.”

Statement on Daniel Penny Acquittal  by
New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“New York City jurors are a lot wiser than progressive New York City district attorneys, and thank God for that. An  extraordinary injustice was almost done to a Good Samaritan, thanks to the twisted -pro-criminal leanings of Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg. Mr. Bragg has no business being in that office, and we’re hopeful that city voters will agree in November. Daniel Penny is owed thanks — and an enormous apology — from the City of New York. This is not how heroes should be treated.”

State Board of Regents Should Leave Girl’s Sports Alone:
New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar
Calls on Governor to Inform Public on Vote

“The unelected New York State Board of Regents may vote as early as next week to end girls-only sports in New York State. The vote, which was postponed after it became a hot button political issue shortly before Election Day, would permanently allow boys to play on girls high school sports teams across the Empire State if there is no corresponding boys team in that sport — volleyball and field hockey teams are common examples. The radical policy enactment would effectively end girls sports as we know it.

“Poll after poll has shown that the public wants traditional, girls-only sports protected in New York, but the gender-bending social engineers in Albany are oddly determined to erase all distinctions between the sexes (good luck with that.) It’s hard to believe we’re even having this conversation, frankly.

“The New York State Conservative Party calls on Governor Hochul to inform the public immediately if the Board of Regents plans to take this issue up at its December 9-10 meetings. The future of girls sports is on the line. The public deserves to know that.”

Governor Hochul Has Broken Faith with New Yorkers on
Congestion Pricing Tax Backstab: New York State
Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“New Yorkers no longer trust Governor Kathy Hochul — and why should they? The governor has officially broken faith with New Yorkers by moving forward with a deeply unpopular new tax after cynically ‘pausing’ it right before the 2024 elections. In doing so, Mrs. Hochul has insulted the intelligence and pocketbooks of working- and middle-class New Yorkers who genuinely believed Mrs. Hochul’s controversial tax was gone when they voted less than two weeks ago.

“This tax, which was passed as a budget bill to avoid legislative debate, was never about street congestion or the environment. It will simply shift traffic and pollution to lower-income communities. Indeed, the Congestion Pricing Tax has always and only  been about the constant deficits run by an incompetent and bureaucratically bloated MTA that fails to collect more than $700 million in toll, bus, and subway fares each year. This same MTA, has spent more on consultants for the Second Avenue Subway than on its construction, and New York continues to pay multiple times per track mile than any other city on the planet.

“Governor Hochul just pulled a fast one on New Yorkers. They will never forget it.”

Statement on President-elect Trump’s Opposition to Congestion Pricing Tax by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“Hardworking New Yorkers should thank President-elect Trump for fighting to protect their wallets when Governor Hochul and her progressive colleagues won’t. Governor Hochul insults the intelligence of New Yorkers by bringing back the controversial Congestion Pricing Tax days after the 2024 elections. Her craven, bait-and-switch scam on voters will be remembered as one of the most nakedly disingenuous political ploys in Empire State history. The 2024 election results were predicated upon the understanding that Mrs. Hochul’s congestion tax was effectively gone. There will be no such misunderstanding in 2026.”

Statement on Stefanik Appointment as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“President-elect Trump hit a grand slam homerun in appointing Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as the nation’s next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Congresswoman Stefanik is smart, savvy, and fearless in the face of adversity. She will represent American interests at the world body with a tenacity unseen in years. Americans should rest better knowing that Ambassador-elect Stefanik is guarding the gate at Turtle Bay. No wool will be pulled over her eyes.”

Politifact Confirms that Prop 1 Will Threaten Girls Sports in New York; Statement by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

Brooklyn, NY – “The Conservative Party has been warning for months that the carelessly written Prop 1 Ballot Amendment would lead to boys and biological males gaining a Constitutional right to play on girls sports teams in New York. Respected independent media fact checker Politifact confirmed that today.

“For months the political Left has been gaslighting New Yorkers who could see plain as day where this radical amendment would lead. The facts are now on the table. If you care about girls athletics, you must vote ‘no.’ This amendment would set back 50 years of progress.”

Statement on Major, Local-Election Court Victory by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

Brooklyn, NY…“The New York State Conservative Party salutes Onondaga County and other local officials who won a major New York State Supreme Court victory today for local elections across the state. The suit was filed in response to a cynical attempt by New York Democrats to abolish off-year elections by moving them to even years when federal and state elections are held. State Supreme Court Justice Gerard Neri ruled that the Democrats’ ‘Even Year Election Law’ is unconstitutional.

“The Conservative Party has always maintained that government closest to the people is the best form of government. That’s why it’s so important to have specially designated local elections that focus on town, village, and county issues. Democrats seemingly want those issues paved over by high-spending state and local races.

“Today’s court victory is a victory for democracy in New York State. Voters owe the plaintiffs a tremendous debt of thanks.”
