BROOKLYN YOUNG REPUBLICANS OFFICIALLY CHARTERED BY THE NEW YORK STATE YOUNG REPUBLICANS

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – The recently re-launched Brooklyn Young Republicans, which are the officially recognized young Republican organization by the Kings County Republican Party, has been formally recognized by the New York State Young Republicans, who voted to charter the organization at their statewide convention this weekend.

“I can’t tell you how pleased I am the NY State Young Republicans have given our organization their blessing,” said Russell Gallo, President of the Brooklyn Young Republicans. “Now we can really get down to work - growing the party and supporting Republican candidates in Brooklyn.”

The New York State Young Republicans, the premier grassroots Young Republican Professional Organization in New York State, took this action at their Spring Meeting on February 26, 2011 in Poughkeepsie, NY, making the Brooklyn Young Republicans the lone representative organization from Brooklyn.

Brooklyn GOP Chair Craig Eaton applauded the decision. “Thanks to the efforts of the Brooklyn Young Republicans and the New York State Young Republicans, Brooklyn can look forward to the 2012 elections with confidence as there will be many young people to pound the pavement for Republican candidates at all levels.”

The next meeting of the Brooklyn Young Republicans will be on March 21, 2011 at the Brooklyn GOP “Victory Center” at 7620 17th Avenue (between 76th and 77th Sts.) at 7:30 PM.
