ALBANY— Today, The Capital District Young Republican Club congratulated Dean G. Skelos in his election as New York State Senate Majority Leader.

“We are glad to see ‘One Party Rule’ end in New York State and new leadership in the Senate. This is a new, great day for New Yorkers as the hard working young professionals will have someone standing up for fiscal accountability and Government Reform in Albany,” said Bryon C. McKim, Communications Chairman of the Capital District Young Republican Club.

“Just months ago, Malcolm Smith was calling for democracy in New York’s Upper House. His actions by turning the cameras and the lights off in the chamber shows that all he cares about his own power. The Senate has spoken, and they have chosen for new leadership in the Senate,” concluded McKim.

The Capital District Young Republican Club provides young professionals with opportunities to network with like-minded people, to keep abreast of current events and public policy, and get involved in the political process through campaigns and elections. Club membership is open to people ages 18 through 40, inclusive — who live or work in the area and express a preference for the principles of the GOP. Capital YR aspires “To improve our communities and ourselves.”

ALBANY— Today, The Capital District Young Republican Club called on Governor David Paterson fulfill his responsibility to the people of the 20th Congressional District of New York by calling the special election to fill the recently vacated seat in the House of Representatives.

Governor Paterson created the vacancy by appointing former Representative Kirsten Gillibrand to be Senator on January 23rd. Residents of the district have been without representation in the House of Representatives since. Over 90,000 residents of the 20th Congressional District are between the ages of 18-40, the membership age of CapitalYR.

“It’s time for Governor Paterson to stop the partisan games, and call for the special election today. Governor Paterson needs to decide who he represents, the people of the State of New York, or special interest tax-cheats like Scott Murphy,” said Bryon McKim, Communications Chairman of The Capital District Young Republican Club.

“The people of the 20th CD deserve a say on the Trillion Dollar Stimulus Package, as well as the many other issues facing Congress. It is clear that Governor Paterson is just stalling to give the Democrat’s novice candidate time to get his act together. We’ve already seen evidence that this candidate is just another highly paid Democrat tax evader like Tom Daschle, Tim Geithner, and others in the Obama Administration,” said McKim.

“The Governor for his own sake should call this election soon. His inability to make a decision throughout the past months could have its own segment on ‘The Daily Show’ called ‘InDecision:2009.’ It’s time for the Governor to stop delaying, and call for the special election today,” concluded McKim.

ALBANY— In response to Governor David Paterson’s decision to appoint United States Representative Kirsten Gillibrand to fill the U.S. Senate seat of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, The Capital District Young Republican Club applauded his decision.

Although we disagree with her on a number of issues, Congresswoman Gillibrand has shown that her “Blue Dog” values are in touch with upstate. We hope that she can rise above partisanship and continue to represent those values by standing up to Harry Reid in the Senate.

Congresswoman Gillibrand left big shoes to fill in New York’s 20th Congressional District. We look forward to supporting a candidate in the special election for our next representative who represents the values of Upstate New York, and those that Gov. Paterson saw when he chose her to be our next Senator.
