NY: Ex-GOP mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa starts new political club in Queens, to take on DSA pols
Curtis Sliwa, the 2021 GOP mayoral nominee and the founder of the Guardian Angels, has launched a new political club in Astoria Queens aimed at breaking up the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) stronghold in western Queens, he announced in a release Wednesday.
The new group, which Sliwa has dubbed the “Ronald Reagan Republican Club,” is intended to challenge DSA-backed pols who represent the area including Congress Member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx, Queens) and City Council Member Tiffany Cabán (D-Queens).
“We’re going into the belly of the beast of the Democratic Socialists of America in New York City,” Sliwa said in a statement. “We’re going to take on AOC and Cabán.”
Sliwa, who was comprehensively beaten by Adams in the 2021 mayoral race, started the club along with Robert Hornak, the GOP strategist who ran his mayoral campaign.
