Chairman Kassar’s Weekly Wrap Up 7/11/25

Open Letter to NYS Parole Board

As Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party, I recently sent a letter to the New York State Parole Board that I should have never had to write. Once again, the Board is considering the release of a convicted cop killer, and once again, the Party is speaking out to say: enough is enough.

This time, it’s David McClary, who in 1988 assassinated 22-year-old NYPD Officer Edward Byrne, shooting him five times in the head while he sat in a patrol car guarding a witness in a drug case. McClary should never see freedom again, yet the Parole Board is now preparing to consider releasing him. This isn’t an isolated case. Since 2017, this Parole Board has released 43 cop killers back into our communities. I called out their record clearly in the letter: “Your decisions aren’t only morally indefensible — they’re dangerous.” I also reminded them that if they can’t even draw the line when it comes to those who murder police officers in cold blood, they are unfit for office. There’s a real and growing sense among New Yorkers that justice is no longer being served, and we’re hearing it from families, law enforcement, and everyday citizens alike. The Conservative Party will continue to speak out, loudly and publicly, to demand justice for Officer Byrne and every fallen hero whose sacrifice deserves to be honored, not erased. You can read the full open letter here:

Bravo, Mr. President!

President Trump has been doing tremendous work every single day and delivering real results on the issues the Conservative Party has championed for years. As soon as he was inaugurated, he signed an Executive order ending DEI programs, pardoning pro-life prisoners, and so much more. Now, in just the past few weeks, we’ve seen a series of Executive Orders that restore law and order, protect our borders, cut bureaucratic overreach, unleash American energy, and reassert American values. These common sense EO’s include:

  • Securing our Borders
  • Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border
  • Protecting the American People Against Invasion
  • Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders
  • Restricting the Entry of Foreign Nationals to Protect the United States from Foreign Terrorists and other National Security and Public Safety Threats
  • Implementing the President’s DOGE Cost Efficiency Initiative
  • Protecting America’s Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste and Abuse
  • Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy
  • Stopping Waste, Fraud and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos
  • Iron Dome for America
  • Unleashing American Drone Dominance
  • Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance
  • Unleashing American Energy
  • Reinvigorating America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry
  • Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential
  • Declaring a National Energy Emergency
  • Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production
  • Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production
  • Clarifying the Military’s Role in Protecting the Territorial Integrity of the United States
  • Keeping Americans Safe in Aviation
  • Improving Education Outcomes by Empowering Parents, States and Communities
  • Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education
  • Establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission
  • Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China as Applied to Low-Value Imports
  • The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Global Tax Deal
  • Enforcing the Hyde Amendment
  • Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday — Garden of Heroes
  • Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful

While some may express concern about whether these changes will last, these Executive Orders have now been codified through the Big Beautiful Bill. Thus, making them permanent and here to stay. We want to thank President Trump, Speaker Johnson, and our New York Congressional Delegation for their leadership in getting this done for the American people.

After four painful years of decline under Joe Biden and his autopen presidency, we now have a leader who governs with clarity, purpose, and results. Promises made, promises kept.

Conservative Roundtable

I am excited to announce that our own Erie County Conservative Party Chairman, Ralph Lorigo, will be starting his own show on Buffalo radio called “The Conservative Roundtable with Ralph Lorigo.” I will join him this Saturday as a co-host for the inaugural show at 11:00 am to 1:00 pm to discuss a variety of issues impacting our state and Erie County.
