The New York State One-House budget put forward by Albany Democrats takes everything that was already wrong with Governor Kathy Hochul’s proposal and makes it even worse. It is bigger, more reckless, and even more detached from reality. At a time when New Yorkers are being crushed with high energy costs, high taxes, and rising costs of living, Democrats have chosen to double down on out-of-control spending and expand government even further. The price tag is staggering, and it’s hardworking New Yorkers who will be forced to pay it.
As we’ve already made clear: Governor Kathy Hochul blew a lot of smoke at New Yorkers during her budget address in Albany, but the numbers tell the real story. In just a few short years, she has ballooned the state budget by nearly 40 percent. Now she has the audacity to talk about ‘affordability,’ as if she and her progressive allies aren’t the ones responsible for driving more than a million New Yorkers out of this state. The data doesn’t lie. New York is unaffordable because Kathy Hochul continues to make it that way. Her monstrous budget proposal is exactly what we’ve come to expect, and it will continue New York’s long, slow decline into mediocrity and unaffordability. She needs to go. Read our full press here.
Republicans and conservatives are not just fighting this insanely bloated budget. We are confronting the full scope of the damage being done. Hochul’s extreme energy agenda is sending utility bills through the roof and punishing families and small businesses across the state. The HALT Act continues to make our correctional facilities more dangerous, while correction officers are still pleading for help that this administration refuses to provide. This is one-party rule in action: higher costs, weaker public safety, and zero accountability.
Let’s be honest about what we are up against: Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, and a failed far-left agenda that is driving people and businesses out of New York. The exodus is not an accident, it is the direct result of these policies. And now, in a stunning display of hypocrisy, Hochul is actually begging wealthy New Yorkers to come back from places like Florida to help fund her ever-expanding government, after telling them to leave just a few years ago.
A Strong Slate Ready to Turn New York Around
We are proud to support a serious, results-driven slate of statewide candidates who are ready to take New York in a completely different direction: Bruce Blakeman for Governor, Todd Hood for Lieutenant Governor, Joseph Hernandez for Comptroller, and Saritha Komatireddy for Attorney General. These candidates understand what’s at stake and are prepared to fight for lower taxes, safer communities, and a government that works for the people, not against them. I encourage everyone to visit their websites, learn more, and consider making a donation. Every dollar helps them. Check out their websites linked below!
Last Saturday, I joined ‘The Conservative Roundtable’ hosted by Erie County Conservative Party Chairman Ralph Lorigo on Patriot 1270 for a wide-ranging discussion about our party, our principles, and the future of New York. We covered everything from the history of the Conservative Party, our founding, to our legislative platform, national issues, fusion voting, Mamdani, and what’s happening across the state today. It was an in-depth conversation, and I encourage everyone to take the time to listen here.
Final Days for Petitioning
Petitioning is now in its final stretch. If you have not yet signed a petition for one of our candidates but would like to, we can help connect you with someone in your area. Please contact our State Director, Andrew Davis (845-522-1915) and we will make sure you’re able to participate. April 2nd is the final day to collect signatures. Thank you to everyone who continues to step up year after year to get our candidates on the ballot.
