Check out the latest from NYGOP Volume 57 | April 10th, 2022 This Week at the NYGOP Follow Us On Social Media! Dear Friend, This week, New Yorkers were once again treated to the spectacle of chaos and dysfunction of one-party Democrat rule in Albany. The state budget was more than a week late and both on process and substance, the final budget can be summed up as a colossal failure. Kathy Hochul loves to pretend that she is governing with “historic transparency” but she’s just as bad as Cuomo. This budget was negotiated in secret by three Democrats and voted on without any time for lawmakers to actually read the bills. The substance of what’s in the $220 billion spending boondoggle is even scarier. Your hard-earned money is being frittered away on everything from giveaways to billionaires to socialist programs that are rife with fraud. The middle class continues to be hit the hardest. On top of Democrats' high taxes and reckless spending, they once again failed to do what’s necessary to fix the public safety nightmare they created. They know they have a political problem so they offered small tweaks that are nothing more than window dressing designed to give them talking points for the election. But don’t take our word for it--the Hochul Administration said themselves that they are “not here to undo bail reform” and “they are not going to have a law and order way of addressing [crime].” If they are allowed to remain in power, they will only grow more emboldened to ram through their radical agenda. The only way we are going to truly save New York is by restoring balance with a Republican governor who will make the real changes that will restore safety, prosperity, and common sense to state government. We are well on our way to make that happen. There is a real movement happening all across New York. Voters get it and they are done being fooled by the false promises, dishonest rhetoric and hypocrisy of the Democrat Party. That was reaffirmed this week, when Republicans won a massive 2:1 victory in a heavily Democratic Assembly seat in Nassau County. Please join me in offering a huge congratulations to Assemblyman-elect Ari Brown. I also want to offer a special thank you to my great partner on Long Island, Nassau GOP Chairman Joe Cairo for his tremendous leadership. This is just a forecast of what's to come in November when we usher in a new era for New York State under huge Republican victories. Sincerely, Nick Langworthy NYGOP Chairman WATCH: NYGOP Chairman Nick Langworthy Calls Out The Hochul-Benjamin Corruption Machine Every Democrat governor for the last 15 years has been mired in scandal and forced from office.

Donate Here Candidate Of The Week Rich Amedure Candidate for NY State Senate District 48 Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Donate Rich served our nation in the military. For the past 30 years, Rich served as a state trooper. Along the way, he earned several distinctions for valor while on-duty and recently retired as First Vice President of the New York State Troopers Police Benevolent Association. A longtime resident of Rensselaerville, Rich helped clean up rampant political corruption in the town and has served on its planning board for several years. Through this and his own efforts as the owner of a small farm, he’s gained a positive reputation for his efforts to preserve green space and maintain the local character of the town. Protecting our most vulnerable residents, promoting family farms, preserving the unique character of our small towns and communities, these are the things our state government should be focused on, but they’re not. As a state trooper, he’s seen just how devastating the bail and discovery reform laws have been to our communities and to law enforcement. Rich brings these first-hand experiences to the Senate, so he can lead the fight to repeal these laws. He also plans to use his experiences in local government to advocate on behalf of family farms, small businesses and close-knit local communities like the ones he’s called home his entire life. That means working with community stakeholders on responsible growth and the preservation of open space, advocating on behalf of family farms and small businesses in order to grow our economy, and acting as a strong voice against the downstate interests that harm our way of life. NYGOP Must See News: ‘Flawed from outset’: Judge blasts NY Democrats for ‘Hochul-mander’ mess New York Post  “It’s not just a gerrymander, we’re calling it a Hochulmander,” state Republican Party Chairman Nick Langworthy said last week, blaming the gerrymandering on Hochul and saying she wanted to try to preserve the Democrats’ razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives. For example, the current 11th congressional district of Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis includes all of Staten Island as well as moderate-to-conservative neighborhoods in southern Brooklyn closest to the island across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, including Dyker Heights and Bath Beach.The newly drawn district skips over those neighborhoods and instead snakes along the northwest Brooklyn waterfront to take in the heavily liberal Democratic areas of Sunset Park and Park Slope, giving a Democratic candidate a much better shot at stealing the seat from Malliotakis.

This year’s Republican congressional candidate for New York’s 25th, L’Ron Singletary, is confident he can deliver a different result. He and the state’s GOP chairman, Nick Langworthy, recently used an appearance at a Rochester gas station to criticize the country’s Democratic president. “Today we’re calling on President Biden to unshackle American energy,” Mr. Singletary said over the roar of passing cars. Added Mr. Langworthy: “We are standing here at the epicenter of Joe Biden’s agenda. High gas prices are the direct result of Joe Biden and the Democrat’s radical energy agenda. This is a real-life example of how the government affects our lives.” Read Full Here Hochul claims she was unaware that Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin’s comptroller campaign received subpoenas from Manhattan DA The Daily News Gov. Hochul claimed Monday that she was unaware prosecutors had issued subpoenas related to Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin’s failed comptroller campaign before his appointment to his current post last year. Benjamin was still serving as a state senator representing Harlem when his campaign for New York City comptroller received subpoenas from the Manhattan district attorney’s office, the Daily News first reported last week. The investigation was put on hold when the DA’s office found out federal investigators were also looking into fund-raising related to the campaign, which resulted in the arrest of longtime Benjamin ally Gerald Migdol. The Harlem landlord and lawyer was charged in November with facilitating phony donations intended to boost Benjamin’s campaign war chest so he could receive public matching funds. “I was not aware,” Hochul told reporters Monday when asked if she knew about subpoenas issued to Benjamin’s campaign before his appointment.

NY Dems might actually have to fight fair as rigged House district lines are tossed (opinion) Staten Island Advance It could be back to the drawing board for New York Democrats, who are looking to cheat their way through the next decade of elections, including the worrisome 2022 midterms, with rigged legislative districts. A judge on Thursday said that district lines, including for all-important House seats, drawn by Democratic lawmakers in Albany were clearly gerrymandered and unfair. “The court finds by clear evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt that the congressional map was unconstitutionally drawn with political bias,” acting state Supreme Court Justice Patrick F. McAllister wrote. Nobody knows that better than Staten Islanders, who saw their GOP-leaning congressional district redrawn to include hyper-liberal areas of Brooklyn like Park Slope.

The poll, released Wednesday by Fontas Advisors/Core Decision Analytics, presented voters with this statement: “My family would have a better future if we left New York City permanently.” The poll found 59% of respondents strongly or somewhat agreed with the statement, while 41% somewhat or strongly disagreed. That’s a 12 percentage-point jump from voters who were asked the same question a year ago. Meanwhile, 54% of registered voters said the Big Apple is on the wrong track, while 46 percent said it was heading in the right direction. Read Full Here Ready to take back our state?
