I S S U E V , S E P T E M B E R 2 0 2 1 T H E R E C O R D The New York Young Republican Club RReeccoorrdd Letter from the Treasurer: First and foremost, I want to begin by thanking you for picking up The Record today. Whether you are reading this at our Clubhouse, on our website, or at an event, we dearly appreciate your continued support of the New York Young Republican Club and this incredible community of conservative minds you helped us build. Secondly, as the newest member of the Executive Committee, I want to thank our former Treasurer and the rest of the Committee for bringing me onboard to this integral role. I stepped in at a time when our financial health was improving extraordinarily. Our membership has grown from 500 members to almost 800 members since I took office, providing recurring cash flow that enables us to support a variety of efforts, including events at our Clubhouse in Manhattan. Our generous donors allowed us to turn this space into a safe haven for Conservatives, outfitted with entertainment, furniture, historic decorum and other amenities. As I look to the next year, knowing our continued financial stability will be essential to expanding our presence in New York and supporting our members in the fight against the Left, I promise to do my best to safeguard our financial health. The first NYYRC event I attended fell on Joe Biden’s sad Inauguration Day, and I remember thinking as I left, “How will Republicans ever recover from the loss of our North Star, President Donald J. Trump?” Turns out, it’s easier than I thought. From unconstitutional vaccine mandates right here in New York City to a botched pull-out of Afghanistan and inflation like we haven’t seen in decades, the woke leftists don’t have much of a leg to stand on, which has further emboldened the Republican base since President Trump’s departure. Young Republicans need to remember the fires he stoked – it’s okay to believe in common sense, the conservatism of traditional values and the protection of freedom. Our call to action now, especially as Young Republicans in a blue city, is to grow our base by engaging in “common sense” conversations with our peers across the aisle, promoting our conservative values wherever we go and ensuring we foster new blood to enter the party. Our latest rally outside Gracie Mansion, held to protest good-for-nothing Mayor de Blasio’s vaccine mandate, is the perfect example of how we have evolved as a club to answer that call to action. We garnered over 300 people from all walks of life to demonstrate the importance of our freedom of speech, our freedom of assembly, and, most importantly, our freedom to choose. Lastly, I would like to mention the New York City mayoral election upcoming this November. In order for NYC to return to greatness, we must elect Curtis Sliwa. Please reach out to us directly or to his campaign (https://sliwaforny.com/contact/) to get involved. P.S. - please mark your calendars for our Annual Gala on December 4, 2021! You don’t want to miss it! Claire E.
