Brooklyn, NY – “The proposed John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act in Albany is unnecessary, unmanageable, and overly expensive. The New York State Conservative Party strongly opposes its passage.

“Voting in New York has never been easier or more inclusive. Ballots are printed in multiple languages; early voting takes place for a full 10 days prior to an election, and diverse slates of candidates are elected to public office every year under the current system. There is no need to add new, bureaucratic and redundant layers to a voting process that already works.

“This proposal seeks to resolve a problem that doesn’t exist at enormous cost to taxpayers. It should be added to the growing pile of bad ideas out of Albany.”

Brooklyn, NY – “The senseless murder of Daniel Enriquez on a Q Train this weekend — in broad daylight — strikes fear in the hearts of even the most hardened New Yorkers. 

“It’s the latest infuriating example of how far New York City has fallen since the de Blasio Administration and Democrat-led state legislature began dismantling the effective, conservative crime fighting strategies of Governor George Pataki and Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg. 

“This is what happens when Broken Windows policing is abandoned; when police presence is reduced; when no-cash-bail is enacted, and when undercover officers are outlawed. This is what happens when criminals are given priority over crime victims. 

“Mayor Eric Adams has pledged to put more police officers on subway platforms and moving trains, but we wonder, frankly, whether he has enough officers at this point to pull that off.  He must lead the effort to return the NYPD to effective personnel levels. 

“We also need to elect a Republican governor this year who can stand up to a State Legislature that’s been infected by the dangerous academic movement called wokeism. It doesn’t work. All wokeism does is give us more crime victims to memorialize. We mourn Mr. Enriquez and his family, and pray that his murder does not go unanswered. The current situation has to change.”

Brooklyn, NY - “The New York State Conservative Party is pleased that lines have been finalized for 2022 state and federal races. What we wanted — and the courts agreed — was a fair and competitive set of districts that offer voters a real choice in November. With crime rising, inflation skyrocketing, and taxes remaining the highest in the nation, voters must be given viable alternatives at the voting booth.  That’s the foundation of democracy, and we celebrate it today. 

“This is a victory for healthy political competition, and a historic defeat for corrupt, Tammany Hall governance.”

Brooklyn, NY - “New York has the most radical abortion laws in the country, allowing termination of an unborn child right up until birth — more than twice the length of time most liberal European countries allow. But that’s not enough for Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James who now want to turn the state into a national mecca for abortion procedures wholly paid for by New York taxpayers. 

“The governor and attorney general have no right to force New Yorkers to pay for abortions for non-New Yorkers. New Yorkers, who already pay the highest taxes in the country, need to fight it.”

Brooklyn, NY - “The New York State Conservative Party has been arguing for nearly 50 years that Roe v. Wade was a bad legal decision. Today’s news leak — which may or may not stand — hints at a long-awaited victory for those of us who respect the rights of the unborn and who never viewed abortion as Constitutionally protected. 

“We are hopeful that this leaked decision actually comes to pass. It would have a profound impact on how life is valued in every state in the land.”

Brooklyn, NY - “Gov. Kathy Hochul chose Brian Benjamin to be her Lt. Governor and 2022 running mate despite common knowledge that Mr. Benjamin was being investigated for corruption, which apparently meant nothing to Mrs. Hochul. When she selected Mr. Benjamin to run alongside her this year, Mrs. Hochul was perfectly well aware that under existing New York State Election Law Mr. Benjamin could not be removed from the ballot after the declination process expired. These are the rules for everyone — except for Mrs. Hochul evidently. 

“Today’s legislative machinations to get Mr. Benjamin off the ballot are an affront to New Yorkers who expect their elected officials to follow the laws they create. By changing this law midstream, solely to benefit Mrs. Hochul, the Democrats in the State Legislature have made it clear that there is one set of rules for Democrat elected officials and another for everyone else. This action is a disgrace, even by Albany standards.”

Brooklyn, NY – “Try as she might, Governor Kathy Hochul can’t fool New Yorkers, but it’s not from lack of trying. Ever since joining disgraced ex-governor Andrew Cuomo in the Executive Chamber, Mrs. Hochul has been working to mislead us on everything from bail reform to nursing home deaths to ridiculous stadium deals. Now, she’s pushing legislators to pass a bill that would only benefit her personally by getting her criminally indicted Lt. Governor off the ballot. New Yorkers see this for what it is: another blatantly self-serving political ploy from a governor looking out only for herself. The time for change is now.”

Brooklyn, NY – “The New York State Conservative Party applauds today’s decision on the Democratic Party’s gerrymandered New York congressional lines by the Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department of the Supreme Court of The State Of New York. Governor Kathy Hochul and the Democratic Party clearly drew district lines unconstitutionally to benefit themselves in this November’s congressional elections.  We wish that today’s decision included State Senate and Assembly lines, which were cynically drawn by the Democrats as well.

“We are also pleased that a Special Master is working on an independent set of lines while the State Legislature is given one last chance to fix its wrong.  It is our understanding that the New York State Court of Appeals has agreed to hear this case.”

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Arrest of Lt. Governor Benjamin

 Brooklyn, NY – “Here we go again. Another day, another senior New York Democrat arrested for alleged corruption, this time Lt. Governor Brian Benjamin. It’s enough to make New York taxpayers scream.

“Mr. Benjamin’s arrest says everything one needs to know about Albany under the Hochul Administration.  Governor Hochul knew Mr. Benjamin was viewed as shady — everyone in Albany knew that — and still she made him her right-hand-man in government. It’s as though hints of corruption meant nothing to her.

“New Yorkers are sick of the chaos that Democrats have inflicted on this state. Crime, corruption, taxes, and wokeism have turned New York into a national punchline. Only a new governor can turn this state around. The current one is but another charter member of the Albany Swamp.”

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on New York State Budget

Brooklyn, NY – “Kathy Hochul’s monstrosity of a budget will ensure that New York remains the highest taxed state in the union. By using one-shot federal revenues to fund growth in state operations, New Yorkers will be perennially on the hook for the Democrat’s exorbitant spending, which will now exceed $220 billion — about the size of Florida’s and Texas’s combined budgets, states with greater populations than New York.

“The Governor also failed to achieve real changes to the ill-advised bail reform laws that have spurred a statewide crime wave. Judges must be able to consider potential criminality at sentencing. Anything less than is worthless window dressing.

“Governor Hochul pretended to be a moderate. This budget proves she is anything but. New Yorkers needed tax relief and got a Titanic budget boondoggle instead. Thankfully it’s an election year.”

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.”
