Brookhaven Town Republican Party Executive Committee:

______________________

To: Executive Committee Members
Brookhaven Town Republican Party

From: Jesse Garcia, Chairman
Brookhaven Town Republican Committee

Date: Monday, November 14, 2022
Re: 2022-2023 Cycle Update

__________________________

All:

Let me begin by first thanking you for your hard work, dedication, and support this past year.  Our collective efforts resulted in historic milestones and the defeat of a 40-year elected Democrat in the Democrat Party’s so-called base in Brookhaven Town.

This year, after going 5 for 5 in primary elections, specifically, 3 for 3 just here in Brookhaven Town, the Brookhaven Town Republican Committee, as expected, turned out the be the driving force on Election Day by:

  • Providing a 100,000-vote plurality for Lee Zeldin, giving him more than 60% of the county vote;

  • Electing Nick LaLota to Congress by 12% and re-electing Rep. Andrew Garbarino by more than 21%;

  • Capturing two of the Brookhaven-based Senate districts [Anthony Palumbo and Dean Murray] for a total of four New York State Senate Districts in the county;

  • And, once again, accomplishing a stunning upset by unseating 40-year incumbent Steve Englebright to sweep Ed Flood into the New York State Assembly;

As a Party, we have MUCH to be proud of and grateful for. 

2023 Election Cycle Kicks Off: Town Clerk Special 

That being said, even before the final numbers are calculated, we begin the process of sorting out the 2023 slate for the Brookhaven GOP. That being said, I must make you aware that Town Clerk Donna Lent submitted her resignation effective today, November 14th, from public office, citing family matters.

This will necessitate the Brookhaven GOP to engage in a Special Election set by the Town Supervisor to fill the remaining three years of the current term.

For the last few weeks, the Brookhaven GOP Executive Board has pondered the course of action needed if this vacancy occurred.

At the Executive Committee Meeting, I will be putting forth the recommendation of Councilman Kevin LaValle for the purposes of securing this Town post. I look forward to discussing this issue with you on Saturday.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING 

There will be an Executive Committee Meeting via Zoom or In-Person on Saturday, November 19th at 9:30 AM at Brookhaven Town Republican Party Headquarters, 3080 Route 112, Suite D, Medford, NY 11763.

The November 19th Executive Committee will also serve as a platform to discuss further to 2023 slate for public offices for;

  • All Town of Brookhaven public offices;

  • The slate of County legislators representing Brookhaven Town;

  • and the role the Brookhaven GOP will have in the selection of a nominee for Suffolk County Executive.

In the interim, Brookhaven GOP Headquarters will endeavor to distribute to Executive Committee Members the UNOFFICIAL results for those races within the Town of Brookhaven.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or René Barry at HQ 631-451-2320.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the Brookhaven Town Republican Party. 

Chairman,
Jesse Garcia
