“ If I decide to run against Andrew Cuomo in 2018, I am confident that I will beat him”, 19th CD (which covers near Albany and its eastern, western and southern surrounding areas) Republican Congressman Chris Gibson stated, as we began our interview in midtown Manhattan last week. Gibson’s use of the conditional conjunction “ if”, though, could fairly be described as questionable: In February the congressman formed what is now a well -staffed gubernatorial exploratory committee. That exploratory committee, which launched a website GibsonforNY.com, is already producing a broad range of position papers and reaching out for support to NYS Republican officials, has convinced many within Republican and Democratic camps throughout the state that Gibson is all but assured to enter the race.

The real “bread and butter” work of building the Republican Party here in Queens has begun. Day after day, many newly registered Republican are joining our ranks and getting involved as New York has become the center of the universe these days. The overwhelming focus of the presidential races has been on New York’s Primary Election which is critical to the delegate count. This has translated into an unprecedented surge of voter interest as many Democrats are switching their affiliation to Republican, as they recognize the righteous principles and values of our Party, even here in the progressive leftist bastion, de Blasio’s New York City.
Fred Bedell has written this open letter to all registered voters to get out and vote on April 19. He sent this out to spur interest in the Democratic process for that is what our nation is all about. We agree and would urge all Republican registered voters, to vote in the Primary Election, even if you haven’t voted in years.
Captain James Van Thach (Ret.) U.S. Army, received the Rabbi Morton Pomerantz Veteran of the Year Award at the 141st Anniversary Licnoln Dinner. The presenter was Commander Bernadette Semple, a highly decorated wounded warrior herself. Captain Thach, a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient, who was given the honorary title of Brigadier General by the Iraqi government as an advisor to the New Iraqi Army, spoke passionately, as a Veteran’s Advocate with Wounded Veteran Initiative of Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) with his beloved service dog Liz by his side. He spoke about finding one’s passion in life and in one’s community, and to “never give up” the fight. He said to “find a pal” to help you through any difficulty. The passion that gives him strength and purpose in his life, as a Suicide Prevention Counselor and a pal to the numerous veterans and fellow wounded warriors he has met traveling throughout the nation and the world, is to share healing and encouragement with each and every one of them, because of the tragedy of approximately 22 American veterans committing suicide every day.
