The Queens Republican Party will be holding its 2012 Candidate School for anyone interested in running for local office and for committee members and volunteers interested in helping to run local campaigns.


This intensive half-day seminar will cover all aspects of running campaigns for state and federal office, and is a must-attend for anyone serious about competitive campaigning. Some of the most prominent political strategists, consultants and advisors in NY will be teaching sections, sharing their knowledge and their experience in what to do and what not to do in political campaigns.


Topics covered will include How to Get Your Campaign Started, How to Work with the Party, Raising Money, Developing Your Message, Building an Organization, Working with the Media, Legal Compliance, Using the Web and New Media, and Getting out the Vote. The expert presenters will include former U.S. Senate candidate Jay Townsend, State GOP Finance Director Jason Weingartner and Urban Elephants blogger Daniel Peterson. City Councilman Dan Halloran will also speak.


Queens GOP Chairman Phil Ragusa said, “I am very pleased that we are continuing to provide this essential service to all our prospective candidates. Running for office is never easy and we have some of the most experienced campaign operatives in the state to help guide these recruits, most of who are novices. I’m especially proud of my candidate recruitment team, particularly Robert Hornak, who has worked so hard to pull this amazing seminar together.”

Pertinent parts of Justice Flug's decision.

Thus ... only Ragusa, as outgoing County Chairman, was authorized to select the time and place of the party's organization meeting.... the notices of the September 28th 2011 meeting sent by respondents Haggerty and Bar were designed to create confusion and to disrupt the internal affairs of the Queens County Republican Party. Respondent's Haggerty and bar clearly lacked authority to notice and conduct an organizational meeting of the party's County Committee.

Accordingly, the motions for declaratory and injunctive relief and for summary judgement are granted, and it is the declaration and order of the court that the meeting at Villa Russo, and the election of all of the individually named respondents to all offices within the Queens County Republican, is void and without effect.

Respondent Thomas V. Ognibene is enjoined from holding himself out as the Chairman of the Queens County Republican Party for the period of September 2011-September 2013, as the purported election is void. All the individual respondents named herein are enjoined from holding themselves out as elected officers of the Queens County Republican party, as the purported election is void.

...Board of Elections is directed to void or otherwise treat as invalid the Certificate of Officers filed by Thomas V. Ognibene on September 29th 2011

Executive Vice Chairman Vince Tabone stated "As counsel for the Republican party I am obviously pleased that the Justice Phyllis Orlikoff Flug in her wisdom clearly recognized that  Haggerty's actions were duplicitous and in the court's words "designed to create confusion and to disrupt the internal affairs of the Republican Party. I personally congratulate Chairman Ragusa who time and again has demonstrated his integrity and good will and willingness to work with everyone to advance the GOP's principles. Now the hard work begins."
