Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party Assesses Their Strengths and Weaknesses, Predicts “The Final Three” Most Likely to Win the GOP Nomination
Michael Long is Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party. He
served his country in the United States Marine Corps and was honorably
discharged in 1961. A volunteer for United States Senator Barry
Goldwater’s 1964 campaign for President, Mr. Long registered as a member
of the New York State Conservative Party that same year. In 1968, he
was elected as a District Leader of the Conservative Party and went on
to be elected Chairman of the Kings County Conservative Party in 1972
and Vice Chairman of the State Conservative Party in 1974.
He continued his leadership in the Conservative Party, being elected Executive Vice Chairman in 1985 and ultimately State Chairman in 1989. At the 2010 CPAC in Washington, DC, The American Conservative Union Foundation presented the chairman with “The Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award”, and he has received several other awards for community service.
He has appeared on both national and local news programs including Crossfire, Hardball with host Chris Matthews and Inside City Hall on NY 1, to name a few. He also appeared on this show earlier in the year to discuss a range of issues, including the racial tension in New York City in the wake of Eric Garner’s death and what Republicans need to do to win the White House in 2016.
