NYSYR Spring Board Meeting

The State YRs had a full agenda at its board meeting on Sunday, March 2nd.

The Livingston County Young Republicans, represented by Cricket-Ellen Knight and Aaron Galvin presented their application to join the Association of New York State Young Republican Clubs, Inc., as did Terry Wilbur and Scott McManus from the Oswego County YRs.

However, it was clear that they did not have to do much convincing, as they were both unanimously welcomed into the New York State Young Republican family.

In addition, we had quite a few distinguished guests address us. Christopher Nixon Cox, Executive Director of Senator John McCain’s Presidential Campaign in New York State, talked about his job to make sure that McCain wins New York in November. Additionally, Luke Mroz spoke briefly about Ron Paul’s campaign for the Republican nomination.

Chris Callaghan, former candidate for New York State Comptroller, also stopped by to offer his famous humorous commentary on the state of politics in Albany.

Candidates for the 20th Congressional District Sandy Treadwell and Mike Rocque spoke about their respective campaigns and what they will bring to the table if nominated to challenge first-term incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand.

Lee Zeldin, running for Congress in the 1st Congressional District against incumbent Democrat Tim Bishop, argues that Long Island needs a “bulldog” to fight for a more affordable Long Island, to improve national defense and secure our borders while taking better care of our veterans, and doing more for our senior citizens.

Finally, the Staten Island Young Republican Club presented an impressive proposal to host the NYSYR’s Summer Board meeting in June. More details on the summer board meeting will be forthcoming.
