Jackie Auringer for NY-18

This week, the New York State Conservative Party and I are proud to highlight our Congressional candidate for New York’s 18th Congressional District, Jackie Auringer. Jackie is a young, energetic conservative who is already making waves across the district, meeting voters, attending events, and building the grassroots momentum needed to win. Just a few days ago, she received a glowing endorsement from Congressman Mike Lawler, a sign that leaders across New York are taking notice of her campaign. We expect many more endorsements to come, as NY-18 has quickly become one of the top targeted congressional races in the nation.

Hudson Valley residents are fed up with Pat Ryan’s record and his continued embrace of the radical left. While Ryan spends his time aligning himself with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the progressive wing of his party, hardworking families across the district are demanding a representative who will focus on affordability, public safety, economic growth, and common-sense solutions. Jackie Auringer offers voters a clear and compelling alternative. She represents a new generation of conservative leadership that is ready to fight for the Hudson Valley and put the interests of local residents ahead of partisan politics.

The Conservative Party is proud to stand with Jackie in this critical race. Be sure to follow her on social media and visit her website below to learn more about her campaign. If you are able, please consider making a contribution. Young conservatives willing to step forward and run for office deserve our support, and with your help, Jackie can bring real change to Washington. Check out her website and socials below:

This is the latest move in a deliberate, decade-long campaign to dismantle competitive elections in this state and install one-party rule in perpetuity.

The Democratic Party, which controls every level of state government, has for more than a decade waged a systematic, calculated war on the right of New Yorkers to choose their own government. 

In 2014, more than two million New Yorkers went to the polls and amended their own Constitution to take mapmaking away from self-interested politicians and give it to an Independent Redistricting Commission. The people spoke. Democrats have spent every year since trying to undo what the people did.

In 2019 and 2020, Democrats rewrote the ballot-access laws in an attempt to crush third parties in the state. They increased the vote threshold for political parties from 50,000 votes every four years to 130,000 votes every two, imposing the single most restrictive party-qualification standard in the country. The Green and Libertarian parties disappeared….Read the full press release here:
