ROCKLAND COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE AT THE SHIELDS DINNER!
The Rockland County Republican Committee attended this evening’s annual Rockland County SHIELDS Dinner, where federal, state, and local candidates had the opportunity to address those in attendance and explain why they deserve the community’s support.
One thing was clear there was plenty of Republican energy in the room!
Democratic Chairman Riley spent much of his time talking about himself. But when he finally turned his attention to the candidates, his remarks appeared to acknowledge something we have been saying all along: It’s time for change in the Clarkstown Highway Superintendent’s office!
Chairman Riley, we agree that the future of Clarkstown’s Highway Department deserves serious attention. Republican candidate Rob Sambevski is bringing his vision for that office directly to the voters.
And Chairman Riley didn’t stop there! He also suggested that all Town Supervisors should be attorneys. That prompted a swift response from the Republican Chairman firing back that Reilly should focus on questions surrounding his own party’s candidate, Eugene Bondar who is running for Clarkstown Supervisor regarding outstanding financial judgments and paying his bills.
Perhaps the conversation should be about accountability and financial responsibility rather than who has a law degree!
Congressman Mike Lawler delivered a forceful speech challenging Cait Conley’s positions and questioning her ties to the district, she doesn’t live here, own a home here, or pay taxes here. He presented a sharp contrast between his record and the direction she is advocating. In a few words he wiped the floor with her, she didn’t stand a chance.
Senator Bill Weber and our Republican Assembly candidates, Rob Bonomolo (97th District), Karl Brabanec (98th District), Rich Vargus (99th District), and Brett Yagel (96th District), delivered stern, compelling remarks criticizing Democratic leadership in Albany. Back the blue!
Their message focused on public safety, the treatment of law enforcement officers, and the consequences they believe Albany’s policies have had on the men and women who protect our communities.
The evening also included a heated moment when the Democratic slate were booed by members of the audience and walked off the stage.
We believe that’s a good enough recap!
Early voting is underway so get out and vote!
Election Day: November 3, 2026!
