Videos: Christmas/Chanukah Party


We were so glad to see everyone at our annual Christmas & Chanukah Party on December 4th hosted by the Queens Village Republican Club. We had a great time, great food, and plenty of dancing with Jimmy James our DJ, and the ideal time to honor Curtis Sliwa, the true People’s Mayor, who was presented with a special certificate and heartfelt reading presentation to thank him for all he has done and is doing for the people of NYC. It was a joyous celebration of the spirit of the season: Christmas the season of hope and joy, and Chanukah, the Miracle of Lights! It was a night to say thanks to all of you who helped at our beautiful Campaign HQ, who made 1000 phone calls a day, knocked on doors, put up posters, donated money, attend rallies and events, talked to your friends and neighbors. You rose to the call of duty and for this we are grateful. God Bless you all! See meeting videos below. Thank you to our videographer, Jim Doukas.

Certificate of Appreciation Presentation to Vinod Patel

Vinod Patel, a big supporter of Curtis Sliwa, manages numerous properties in Floral Park which is where we were able to set up a sparkling new campaign HQ for Curtis Sliwa, in his new building on Hillside Ave. We thank Vinod for the campaign HQ, and for his patriotism and service to the community, and to Curtis Sliwa and the Republican Party.

MEGA: Make Education Great Again

Restoring Excellence, Merit, and Free Thought in American Schools


America’s schools and universities were once the envy of the world. As the Carnegie Corporation noted, “For most of the 20th century, the U.S. had the best higher education system in the world.” Students traveled from every continent to study here, producing generations of innovators, scholars, and leaders.

Today, those same institutions have tragically deteriorated into centers of anti-American indoctrination, ideological conformity, and politicized curricula. We intend to reverse this decline.

The Queens Village Republican Club is launching the Academic Freedom Committee to restore freedom of thought, remove political activism from the classroom, and bring back excellence, merit, critical thinking, and intellectual honesty—core American values that built the greatest education system in history. We dedicate this mission to the children of America who are our future.

We want to begin by thanking you….. for the brave and incredible way you put yourself out there, day after day, alongside Nancy, to save our city.

You never stopped showing up, you never stopped telling the truth, and you never stopped doing what was right.

You were more like the Energizer Bunny…… you kept going, and going, while the rest of us needed a nap just watching you.

Every day, you were out in the streets, bringing hope, humor, insight, and a lifetime of knowing this city better than anyone.

At every rally, you moved people,  not with scripts, but with heart.
