On February 2, 2026, the newly formed Kew Forest Republican Club held its Kickoff event at the Aged Steakhouse in Forest Hills, New York. The event, hosted by Paul Singh, the owner of the restaurant, was an overwhelming success with more than 100 attendees coming from as far as Brooklyn and Long Island.
It was standing room only for most of the night. The Club was founded by a group of professionals, including attorneys, accountants and prominent business owners. The Club was created to provide a home for voters with conservative values and moderate ideologies. As the Democrats lurch further and further left, many voters are feeling abandoned, including traditional Democrats. Many of the attendees expressed that sentiment. The founders of the Club studied the trends in Central and Northeast Queens, which show more election districts flipping red. The time appears ripe for another Republican to win in Queens County. The Club’s philosophy is simple: we support the rule of law, local police and first responders, fiscal responsibility and small businesses. Too many City residents are leaving New York for red states where they can finally afford a home and live the American dream. When Mayor Bloomberg left office in 2013, he presented Mayor de Blasio with a balanced budget for the fiscal year beginning in July 2014. After 12 years of Democrats controlling New York City and State government, the City is facing a massive $2.2 billion budget shortall. The Democrats have proven their fiscal irresponsibility. It is time to elect candidates who propose more than tax hikes and spending cuts while diverting funds to murky NGOs and nebulous “nonprofits.” The Club’s goal is to find those candidates, encourage voter engagement in the community and to support the candidates who espouse the Club’s principles. The first general Club meeting is set for March 4, 2026. For more information please email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
