I recently returned from the East Coast after speaking to Turning Point USA student activists and members of the New York Young Republicans Club in Manhattan!
I love visiting New York (not sure if I could ever live there, but I always love visiting the Big Apple)! This visit was different, though–one could feel the impact of the last year and the insane regulations/bad leadership of 2020/2021 in the air. Countless businesses, stores, and restaurants have gone out of business, unable to survive with forced closures and limited capacity. My mom came on this trip with me, and we walked right into restaurants with no reservations and right onto the ferry to Ellis Island! New York is the city that never sleeps, but it’s sleeping today, and I pray it can recover from this insanely difficult time.
That being said, the incredible people in attendance at my event are NOT SLEEPING. They are energized and excited about sharing the conservative voice with New Yorkers, and they’re just getting started.
There were about 100 people–YES, ONE HUNDRED, in the shutdown city of New York who came out to hear my story and become connected with a conservative community in TPUSA/NYYRC. I am so inspired by their enthusiasm! I have no doubt New York is in for a cultural revolution.
Thank you for hosting me, NYC TPUSA chapters! Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to seeing you guys soon!
