This year, we are doing things a little differently. Rather than issue a Club release of those candidates our leadership has come to an agreement on supporting, a few of our leaders are issuing their individual support to show the diversity within our organization.

We hope that everyone goes to the polls and votes on November 3rd. Even if you are not pleased with the top of the ticket, there are our local candidates that have campaigned long and hard that need your support. We can bring about change by taking a stand and electing candidates that share our ideals.

Date:
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
Time:
8:00pm - 11:00pm

Download the Citizens Union press release.

Citizens Union (CU) recently announced that Ashok Chandra is the preferred candidate in the Fourth District’s Republican primary. CU cites Ashok’s reform agenda, his policy solutions, and his ability to offer a new perspective as reasons for its support.

Citizens Union is a nonpartisan organization that promotes good government and political reform in New York. It offers all city candidates the opportunity to complete its questionnaire, which addresses issues of government reforms, education, city spending, ballot initiatives, taxation, term limits, and numerous other matters that profoundly affect the citizens of this city.

Upon review of Ashok’s answers, CU applauded his reform-minded stance, his innovative policies, and his principled perspective.

Writes CU:

Mr. Chandra - a young and energetic candidate and a strong proponent of ballot access reform - brings an interesting perspective to this race, and has the potential to begin an engaging dialogue about government reform and policies within the district during the General Election, including his priorities to create incentives for business to remain in the city and ideas to reduce congestion...

as well as his position on term limits, which he believes should have been voted on by the people and not by the elected officials that had an interest in extending their own terms.

The Chandra for New York campaign team thanks CU for its support in the primary and is heartened by the preference, which it regards as yet another indication that Ashok Chandra is the 4th District’s most promising candidate this year.

NEW YORK CITY – The New York Young Republican Club is proud to announce its official endorsement of Ashok Chandra to represent District 4 in the New York City Council.

Chandra, a 30-year-old Indian-American attorney who lives in midtown with his wife and baby daughter, is a lifelong Republican and an active member of the Club, currently serving as a vice president. Last night, the Club’s executive board voted unanimously to endorse Mr. Chandra in his campaign effort. Of utmost importance to the Club’s decision is that Chandra embodies urban Republican principles in word and action. Mr. Chandra’s agenda calls for the promotion of small business, expansion of charter schools, reform of city government, and responsible city spending.

The Club is actively supporting Mr. Chandra in his race. Members have been collecting signatures throughout the 4th District, energized by the prospect of a Republican primary and excited to support a young and articulate candidate. Says one club member, “We support Ashok not only because he exemplifies conservative ideals and cares for his community. A primary race, especially with such a passionate candidate at the helm, will invigorate the grassroots, and city Republicans will be able to choose for themselves the best Republican to run on their line.”

More information about Ashok Chandra can be found on the web at www.ChandraforNewYork.com or via telephone at (646) 841-2152.

We will have our own booth on Broadway between 53rd and 54th Street.
