Queens Village Republican Club hosted a successful jam-packed reception for our congressional candidate, Grant Lally at our old meeting hall, Trattoria Lucia restaurant, on Sept. 17. The Club raised over $3,000 for his campaign war chest from donors who now see a potential Lally victory here in NY’s Third Congressional District in a Republican wave election.
We especially wish to thank the sponsors of the fundraising event for their generous donations to the campaign.
