Wanted: Republican Candidates in BRONX Assembly Districts - Vol. 3

The Bronx is historically Democrat with small pockets of conservative-minded voters. It has 11 Assembly Districts and five have a voter registration ratio greater than 15 democrats to 1 republican.

Only three can produce campaigns that could be considered competitive and worth a venture by Republican challengers. The Bronx Republican County Committee is where you would need to present a case to why you think you would make a great candidate. You may also wish to consider reaching out to the Bronx Conservative County Committee.

BRONX
The 3 districts where republican campaigns could work:
District 80.
Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera
Jerome Park Reservour, Bedford Park, Bronx River Forest, Pelham Parkway, Morris Park, Van Nest, Westchester & Westchester Heights. The registered voter ratio is 4.7 Democrats to 1 Republican.

District 81.
Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz
Riverdale, Spuyten Duyvil, Kings Bridge, Van Cortland Park, Woodlawn Cemetery, Norwood, Woodlawn and Wakefield. The registered voter ratio is 5.7 Democrat to 1 Republican. This is the toughest district I’m listing as a potential competitive district. In other boroughs, I would not consider listing a district that is so close to a 6 - 1 ratio.

District 82.
Assemblyman Michael Bennedeto
Eastchester, Pelham Bay Parkway, Hunter Island, Orchard Beach, Co-Op City, Baychester, City Island, Country Club, Shuylerville, Edgwater Park, Locust Point, Throgs Neck and Ferry Point Park. The registered voter ratio is 4.3 Democrat to 1 Republican, the best odds Republicans have in the Bronx.

If you are a republican or conservative living in these towns, and have an interest in serving your county in Albany, contact your county committee and help build the right-leaning parties. Do it now.

The steps you should take are as follows:
1) Registered with the Board of Elections as a candidate.
2) Hold fundraisers with family, friends, party members and aquaintences, so you can begin raising money.
3) Set up a website with your platform, the district information, organize a volunteer organization and solicit contributions.
4) Mail to all registered Republicans and Conservatives your agenda, your qualifications and give them options to contribute.
5) Make public appearances and be prepared to provide information on how attendees can help your campaign.
6) Expand your mailing to registered voters to no party and the importance of having at least one republican in your counties 11 member caucus. Solicit contributions.

If all works out, and you raise enough money to start expanding your campaign to the registered democrats, then you can potentially get voters to cross party-lines to vote for someone to bring a reform agenda to Albany.
