KASSAR UNANIMOUSLY REELECTED AS CHAIRMAN OF THE NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY
I am once again thankful to be unanimously reelected Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party. I was voted into my fifth two-year term by the Party’s State Committee, which met in White Plains on Saturday, September 19, 2026, to elect officers and attend to other party business.
I am honored that the State Committee has asked me to serve again, and I could not be more optimistic about the year ahead. The Conservative Party has never fielded a stronger statewide ticket. Bruce Blakeman has done in Nassau County exactly what Albany has refused to do for a generation: he cut taxes, backed the police and balanced the books, and he did it in a county Democrats were told they owned.
Saritha Komatireddy is a former federal prosecutor who put al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists and international drug cartel smugglers in prison. The crime-fighting mother of four will put the Attorney General’s office back to work for New Yorkers instead of against them.
Joseph Hernandez arrived in this country as a seven-year-old Cuban refugee and built companies that trade on the New York Stock Exchange. He understands what a pension fund and a state budget are supposed to do, and he will audit Albany in real time, not years after the money is gone…Read the Full Press Release here:
