We are honored to have Senator Ted Cruz as our Keynote Speaker at our Fall Reception on Thursday, October 23rd, 2025, 6:30–9:00 PM at the beautiful Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle. As mentioned previously, we will also have special guests in attendance such as State Legislators, local leaders, Congressional members, and more.
For our first special guest, we are proud to announce Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) will be joining us for the special evening. Mike has been a longtime ally of the Party ever since he was an Assemblyman, and continues to win as a Conservative/Republican in a district that former President Biden won by 11 points. We look forward to him joining us! The evening will also feature the presentation of our Ronald Reagan Journalism Award to Joe Piscopo, a proud patriot and long time political commentator and radio host who has never been afraid to use his platform to fight for our shared values.

We are now days into the Democrat’s shutdown and let’s be clear about one thing: this shutdown is squarely on the shoulders of Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries. Time and again, they’ve chosen to do what’s politically convenient for themselves rather than what’s right for the American people. That’s just the plain truth.
In an effort to expand the federal government even more and to appease democrat socialists who want to see him gone, Senator Schumer eschewed a largely clean Republican resolution that would have kept the government open. Instead, Mr. Schumer chose to unleash chaos on the federal workforce and the public in a desperate attempt to then place blame on President Trump and the GOP. It’s as laughable as it is cynical…
On The Road Again
This week I had the opportunity to travel upstate for two outstanding Conservative Party events in Onondaga and Schenectady Counties. Both were a tremendous success, and it was great catching up with Congressional candidate and current Assemblyman John Lemondes, who has consistently earned high marks from our Party for his strong conservative record. Congratulations to Chairman Barrett and Chairwoman Varga for putting together such well-run events. The energy in the room was a reminder that our movement is strong and growing across New York.
Patriots Podium Featuring Marc Wheat
We’re excited to bring you a special episode of Patriots Podium featuring Marc Wheat, General Counsel of Advancing American Freedom (AAF), an organization founded by former Vice President Mike Pence. AAF is dedicated to promoting and defending conservative principles, protecting our constitutional rights, and ensuring that America remains a leader on the world stage.
In this episode, we dive into some of the most pressing issues of our time. We discuss AAF’s critical work in litigation and advocacy, including protecting parental rights, pushing back against radical gender ideology, and defending free speech on college campuses. We also explore key constitutional battles such as religious liberty, the right to life, and the Second Amendment, including the recent NRA v. Vullo case in New York.
This is a thoughtful and informative conversation that highlights how AAF is taking action to stand up for conservative values and push back against government overreach. It’s an important episode for anyone who cares about safeguarding our freedoms and ensuring a stronger future for America. Tune in and listen on any of the links below!
I am currently working on finalizing our Legislative Ratings for 2025. If you aren’t aware, every year we release a set of legislative bills and report how the Assembly and Senate members vote on them, accompanied by a rating. High rating means they voted in favor of the party consistently, and vice versa. These ratings are excellent to use for interviewing future candidates and to hold our legislators accountable. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for its release!
