Statement by Chairman Joseph N. Mondello, New York Republican State Committee

Republicans in New York State today took another positive step forward in our efforts to deliver real tax relief and allow more people to keep more of their hard-earned money instead of turning it back over to the government in taxes at the pump. Both the Senate and Assembly Republicans announced solid plans, and the State Party has created an online petition at www.nygop.org to give people an opportunity to voice their opposition against gas taxes.

Mondello Statement

As General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker update Congress on the War in Iraq, it is important to remember that Presidential candidates and military experts alike have agreed that the best way to successfully end the Iraq war as quickly as possible is to trust and support the decisions of the commanders in the field.

Last fall, General Petraeus’ report on the success of the surge to Congress validated why this was the right approach. (more…)

Governor Eliot Spitzer’s resignation brings to an end an administration that will always be remembered for its unfulfilled promise. The Governor not only betrayed the trust of his wife and children, he shattered the already fragile hopes of those New Yorkers who, little more than a year ago, had given him an overwhelming mandate to govern. Today, Governor Spitzer took the only course that his reckless and personally destructive behavior left him. (more...)

Chairman Mondello Statement

After receiving a phone call this morning from Mayor Rudy Giuliani about the announcement that he will make later today, I conferred with Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno and Assembly Republican Leader James Tedisco about the critically important race for the Republican presidential nomination. I am grateful that these two great Republican leaders join me in the following announcement.

First and foremost, I want to thank Mayor Giuliani for his incredible devotion and commitment to the Republican Party and our entire nation. As New York’s favorite son he traveled the country communicating his positive vision for the future of our nation and the free world. (more…)

As we work toward a successful year in 2008, it is clear that New York’s Republican Party has come a long way during 2007. With tremendous victories for Republicans in the Erie, Onondaga, Oneida, Dutchess and Monroe County Executive races and close races in other localities, it is clear the 2007 elections were a positive turning point in our efforts to rebuild and revitalize the Republican Party across New York State.
