Rockland GOP Announces New Ramapo Chairman, 'Seismic Shift'

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — Ramapo resident Tzvi Waldman has been named the new vice-chairman of the town's Republican Committee.

Rockland County Republican Committee Chairman Lawrence Garvey said he was proud to make the announcement.

"This appointment is a testament to the ongoing seismic shift in the political landscape, as the Democrat party continues to align with radical anti-Semites and terrorist sympathizers," Garvey said in a news release. "We are thrilled to welcome Tzvi Waldman as the Vice-Chairman of the Ramapo GOP. His leadership and dedication to our community are invaluable as we work to grow the party and to build upon our historic gains from the 2022 election."

Rockland County, a suburban county 20 minutes north of New York City, is home to one of the largest orthodox Jewish communities in the United States, Garvey pointed out.

"I am honored to take on this role and look forward to growing the Republican Party in Ramapo," Waldman said. "As Vice-Chairman of the committee, I am committed to electing candidates who stand up for the values that make our country great, support all their constituents, and never turn their backs on Israel and the Jewish community. We are excited to elect all Republicans to help create a Rockland that we can be proud to call home."
