Greg Hach isn’t afraid to tell it like it is! He’s a Republican running to unseat Long Island Rep.

NYC’s Green Energy Mandates: What They Mean for Your Property & Your Wallet

At the 1/8/26 QVRC club meeting we learned from the foremost expert on the subject, Edward Lombardo, a commercial real estate mortgage and energy policy expert. New York City’s green energy mandates are no longer theoretical—they are hitting property owners with higher electric bills and serious penalties will be forthcoming under Local Law 97. This is the green energy agenda NYC has initiated to combat climate change. Knowledge is Power!

The Queens Village Republican Club meeting on November 6, 2025 was just two days after the disappointing results of the General Election, but it was still proudly billed as a Victory Party. Why? Because what we built together was far greater than any single election outcome. Special guest speakers Professor Nicholas Giordano and Rabbi Sensei Gary Moskowitz both nailed it with their post-election assessments and prescriptions for energizing the party. Read more of the club’s “Post-Election Statement” and see the guest speaker’s videos below. Thank you to our videographer, Jim Doukas and Mike Ferrara: videopronut@gmail.com.

From Neighborhood Bully to Tyrant, Cuomo Now Sets His Sights on NYC

As we approach the final days before the general election, we are re-releasing our earlier article on mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo, “From Neighborhood Bully to Tyrant: Cuomo Now Sets His Sights on NYC.” We thought it would take years for Democrats to forget the crimes and corruption Cuomo inflicted upon New York State—and that he would remain where he belongs, in the dustbin of history. Unfortunately, we were wrong. It took barely a month for political amnesia to set in—and, regrettably, even some weak-kneed Republicans have forgotten and surrendered their values.

This reprint serves as a wake-up call to those Republicans and Democrats alike who have forgotten who Cuomo truly is and what his leadership cost our state, and why we must never forget, and never vote for Cuomo in the mayoral election.
By Philip Orenstein

In a shocking statement made in 2018 while serving as governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo declared that America “was never that great,” positioning himself for a rumored presidential bid against President Trump in 2020. However, his ambitions came crashing down when he resigned in disgrace in 2021 amid multiple sexual harassment allegations. Now, just a few years later, with the hope that the public has forgotten his past transgressions, Cuomo is rebranding himself as a leader of integrity and competence in his bid for New York City mayor. Shockingly, he leads the Democratic primary polls, earning praise from prominent figures across the political spectrum, including some Jewish leaders and the American Jewish Congress.

All Republicans Must Unite Behind Curtis Sliwa

October 10, 2025by Phil Orenstein in Candidates News, Club News tagged , , , , , ,


By Phil Orenstein

Curtis Sliwa is our Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City. The Democrats are fractured and demoralized, locked in a bitter struggle between moderates and socialist extremists. Recently, Governor Hochul endorsed Mamdani, while State Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs flatly rejected him. With Democrats in disarray, it is vital that Republicans stand shoulder to shoulder, unite, and rally behind our standard-bearer, Curtis Sliwa, in the most consequential race for New York City’s future in 2025. And he will win.
