Im excited to pass the torch to Chairman Keblish andVice-Chairman Gershonowitz as they usher in a new and exciting era of Log CabinRepublicans in the Empire State.

    I am honored and humbled to have this opportunity, Keblish stated. From the days ofLincoln and Seward, the GOP has led the fight for civil rights and liberties andchampioned equality under the law. Log Cabin Republicans has a mission to keep theRepublican Party true to its history and principles, and I am dedicated to continuing that

    cause for New York as the new State Chairman.
