Rockland County Republican and Conservative Parties Endorse Curtis Sliwa for NYC Mayor, Cite Dangers of Far-Left Agenda

Rockland County, NY — The Rockland County Republican and Conservative Parties have officially endorsed Curtis Sliwa in his campaign for Mayor of New York City, calling him the leader best equipped to restore safety, order, and common sense to a city they say is spiraling under radical progressive policies.

In a joint announcement, local party leaders voiced strong support for Sliwa’s platform, emphasizing his long-standing record on public safety, quality-of-life issues, and advocacy for working-class New Yorkers. The endorsement comes just months before the high-stakes November mayoral election.

“Curtis Sliwa is a fighter who understands what everyday people are going through,” said a joint statement from both parties. “His commitment to lowering crime, restoring public order, and bringing back practical leadership is exactly what New York needs.”

The endorsement also delivered a stark warning about the growing influence of far-left lawmakers like Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who represents parts of Queens. Party officials criticized Mamdani’s progressive platform, which includes proposals to defund the police, eliminate rent obligations, and dismantle traditional public safety systems.

“Mamdani’s vision is one of chaos and dysfunction, driven by ideology rather than reality,” the statement continued. “Policies like his are accelerating New York City’s decline, and the ripple effects are being felt across the entire region.”

With thousands of Rockland County residents commuting daily to New York City for work, school, or business, local leaders argue that the city’s well-being has direct regional consequences. They say Sliwa’s leadership is vital not only for city residents but also for suburban communities like Rockland that depend on a stable, functioning metropolis.

“When the city fails, we all feel it. Rockland families rely on New York City, and we cannot afford another administration that puts politics over public safety.”

The Rockland Republican and Conservative Parties are urging voters—in NYC and across the metro region—to rally behind Curtis Sliwa and reject what they describe as “extremist policies that threaten the future of the Metropolitan Area.”

Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels and a longtime advocate for crime prevention and civic responsibility, has pledged to crack down on lawlessness, support law enforcement, and rebuild trust between government and the people.

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — Brett Yagel, the former Mayor of the Village of Pomona has officially announced his candidacy for the New York State Assembly in the 96th District.

Below you can read Yagel’s full announcement:

“I am proud to announce that I am seeking the support of the Republican and Conservative Parties as a candidate for the New York State Assembly in the 96th District.
I am not a career politician. I am a problem solver. As Mayor and as a professional working for one of the world’s largest defense contractors, I have spent my career focused on results, accountability, and getting complex jobs done the right way. Leadership and responsibility are not abstract concepts to me. They are values I have lived every day in public service and in the private sector.

Albany is broken. It is dominated by career politicians who create problems, expand government, and then ask for more power to fix the very messes they created. The people of the 96th District deserve better than politics as usual.

Our district needs a leader with real world experience, common sense, and the courage to challenge the status quo. I am ready to bring accountability, fiscal responsibility, and practical,
results driven solutions to Albany. Most importantly, I will be a strong and independent voice for the hardworking families of the 96th District.

If you are tired of excuses and ready for real results, I would be honored to earn your support.”

Yagel will running against incumbent Assemblyman Patrick Carroll.

Rockland County, NY — Congressman Mike Lawler, a lifelong Rockland County resident and graduate of Suffern High School, officially announced today that he will seek reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives, putting to rest speculation that he might enter the race for Governor of New York.

Lawler, who represents New York’s 17th Congressional District, said his decision to remain focused on Congress reflects his commitment to continuing the work he’s started on behalf of Hudson Valley residents. Since taking office in January 2023, Lawler’s office has closed over 6,000 constituent service cases and successfully returned more than $27.2 million to residents throughout the district.

One of his signature achievements has been his leadership in reforming the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap. Under Lawler’s advocacy, the SALT cap was quadrupled to $40,000, providing significant tax relief to middle-class families across the region for the next ten years.

Lawler’s decision not to run for governor preserves his role as a key Republican voice in a competitive swing district, and positions him for what is expected to be a closely watched race in 2026.
