KC Crosbie, newly elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee, delivered an upbeat call to action at the New York State Conservative Party’s annual conference in Albany, highlighting President Donald Trump’s achievements and stressing the importance of winning key congressional races in New York.
Crosbie, who previously served as RNC treasurer, said she is “blessed” to follow former co-chair Lara Trump, adding that President Trump’s endorsement was “a tremendous opportunity… one that I don’t take lightly.”
She praised Trump’s record, telling attendees, “Quite simply it’s promises made, promises kept.” Crosbie pointed to Trump’s tax cuts, saying, “He said he was going to pass the big, beautiful bill. Check, he did… [giving] the largest tax decrease in U.S. history.”
Crosbie also credited Trump with restoring border security. Sharing a story from Texas, she said a ranch owner told her, “When President Trump was elected, day one, it was like a spigot. It just turned off.”
Turning to the economy, Crosbie noted, “Inflation is way down. We’re seeing record days in the stock market… wages are up.”
Crosbie said the RNC’s top priority is protecting Trump’s agenda through the 2026 midterms. “We want to make sure that President Trump is a four-year president,” she said, emphasizing voter turnout, data investments, and election integrity.
She highlighted Republican legal efforts in New York, noting the RNC “paid a lot of resources into the state… to ensure that 800,000 non-citizens could not vote.”
Crosbie said New York will be central in 2026, naming five target districts: “New York 3, New York 4, New York 17, New York 18, and New York 19.”
“We think we can pick up four additional seats,” she said, urging partnership with Conservatives. “We need the Conservative Party to be able to make a difference in these races.”
“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Crosbie concluded. “Roll up our sleeves… and do everything we can to make sure that we win these five districts in New York.”
