The New York Young Republican Club
Record
Letter from the Sergeant-at-Arms:
Hello and welcome! I would like to thank you for
taking the time to read this issue of The Record,
and for your continued support of the New York
Young Republican Club (NYYRC). My name is Dylan
Gallagher, and I serve as the Sergeant-at-Arms for
the Club. Previously, I served as Design Chairman,
and I continue to oversee that team's efforts.
Design and politics may not seem like they have
much to do with each other, but I assure you that
design has played an integral role in our great
American story since its inception. One of the
greatest American designers, Thomas Jefferson,
was a trained architect and went on to design the
University of Virginia and other notable buildings
in the DC area. Additionally, he designed the document that we still live by today: the Constitution of
the United States of America. Our Founding Fathers designed this document to allow America to be
the greatest nation in the world. Politics involves planning, decision-making, policy creation, and
communicating a message. One can argue that the same method is undertaken in design. Michael
Bierut, a famous graphic designer, once said, "Much, if not most, graphic design is about
communicating messages, and many of these messages are intended to persuade. This places its
practice clearly in the realm of politics.” This is what the Design Committee hopes to help the NYYRC
achieve now and in the future.
I first joined the Club during a dark time in American history, Biden’s “Inauguration”. Seeking an
outlet from my very liberal workplace, I thankfully found the NYYRC. Talking to other members, I was
reassured that there is hope for our nation, and it is found right here at the NYYRC. Using my
architectural education, I was able to apply design skills to help the Club share our values and beliefs
to our member base, and the larger conservative movement.
The Design Committee has grown in numbers and is responsible for the creation of all graphic and
branding materials for the Club. We have also recently launched a new Merchandise Sub-Committee,
which has been busy updating our store with new NYYRC apparel. Whether it is a Club event
advertisement, a design on our social media, a political handout (don’t worry, not the Democrat
kind!), or new and improved merchandise, the design team is at your service! If you have a design
background and want to join us, we welcome you to the team! I am grateful to serve as Sergeant-at-
Arms and to continue my role on the Design Committee since it enables me to leverage my
background to help our cause. We hope to see you at a future event soon!
Yours in Freedom,
Dylan J. Gallagher

Happy 1st Birthday to the Record!!
The issue you are reading right now is the 13th
consecutive issue of the Record since its
revival in May 2021, thus marking its 1 year
anniversary! As the Publications Chairman for
the NYYRC, I am beyond proud that we have
been able to provide our members with a
monthly periodical that can not only inform
you on conservative politics and Club
activities, but archive a time in which this
organization has worked harder than ever
before to fight the tyranny of the radical left.
The Record aims to spread the word to all
Young Republicans in the NYC metropolitan
area and let them know that you are not alone.
It lets them know that there are many others
like you in your surroundings and this is your
time now, more than ever, to stand up and
fight! Pick up a copy, share it with your
friends physically and on social media, and
continue the fight!

Letter from the Catholic Caucus
By: Michael R. Bartels, Chairman

want nothing more than hope. They want God,
even if years of life in a culture that mocks
religion bids them to dare not utter that
sentiment. After seeing protesters in many anti-
lockdown rallies hold up crucifixes and rosaries
against both police lines and communist
counter-protesters, I began to pray that God
would give our public life some hope. This
prayer became the caucus.
A nation proclaims itself through its people, and
the Catholic Caucus seeks to reaffirm and
strengthen that proclamation. Traditionally, the
Republican Party has defended the virtue of the
free market, the blessing of individual liberty,
the sanctity of life, and the love of one’s nation
