Congressman Peter King

Great event hosted by the Suffolk County Republican Women at Villa Lombardi’s honoring Diana Zeldin and Rosemary. Diana and Lee are very good friends of ours and it was a terrific to spend the evening with them and their twin daughters.

Under the leadership of President Fran Brechter, the Suffolk County Republican Women does an outstanding job of getting the Republican message to all people of Suffolk County - including what Republicans are doing to empower women.

In introducing Rosemary I thanked her for being such a great wife, mother and grandmother and for always being strong and unwavering in her beliefs.

In her remarks Rosemary thanked all Suffolk County Republicans for their efforts on my behalf and always making her feel at home. She stressed her support of Republican values including a strong defense overseas and here at home.

She also spoke of the time when hundreds of chanting protesters marched outside our Seaford home - when I was in Washington and she was alone looking out the front window seeing Nassau County Police lined across our front lawn. She said that made her more committed than ever to stand strong.

Finally Rosemary praised our daughter, Hempstead Town Councilwoman Erin King Sweeney who is the Majority Leader in Hempstead, as an example of Republican women in leadership positions.

A wonderful evening!! ... See MoreSee Less

Such a great post of 2 families who serve Long Islanders tirelessly! Great strong women who lead by example! And to have Erin serve so many in Nassau County is a huge addition to the strong women serving all of us in Long Island! Thank you King & Zeldin Families🇺🇸

Congrats to Rosemary and to all Republican women across the country...this woman is a fine upstanding example!

Glad you referred to Republican values and left the moron in the White House out of the discussion

I’m gonna let you have this one, Pete King; my beloved mother’s name was Rosemary. Cheers to the wives.

Congratulation Rosemary and Diana.

Congratulations Rosemary, Diane and Erin...three strong women leaders!

Dr Flynn would be proud. SFC class of 66.

Congratulations to your wife Rosemary, your daughter Erin & Lee Zeldin’s wife Diana. We are so lucky to have 2 families here on Long Island standing up for us in a state that is overrun by progressive liberal socialists. All your work is that much more special because it’s so hard to accomplish all that you do when you are fighting immorality & corruption especially of the leading democrats “Evil Chucky” Schumer, Gillibrand, Cuomo & Wilhelm/DiBlasio. I pray that our once great state returns to the moral republican stronghold it was when I was young.

💛

Congratulations to both Rosemary and Diana !!!

Let's be clear. Of the 102 women in the US Congress, only 20 are Republican. Women are underrepresented in public office, but woefully so in your party. This is true at the state and local level as well. You have some real work to do on this.

  • What has happened to the Democratic Party? Bernie Sanders reached a new level of recklessness and irresponsibility the other night by saying that mass murderers (including the Boston Marathon bombers), rapists and child molesters should be allowed to vote from their prison cells. Other Presidential candidates such as Kamala Harris first said there should be a “conversation” about allowing murderers, rapists and child molesters to vote before coming back the next day to say they disagreed with Sanders. I don’t know which is more disgraceful: Bernie Sanders supporting the right of murderers to vote or the other candidates who needed a day to decide! Nothing demonstrates how out of touch the progressive left is from the American mainstream and how detached these progressives are from traditional Democratic principles than supporting the right of vicious felons to vote from prison. Can anyone imagine John F. Kennedy or Harry Truman being so radical and extreme? Do the American people want to entrust their security to progressives who seem more concerned about finding new rights for murderers and rapists than standing with the Men and Women in Blue who put their lives on the line to protect all of us? It is time for sanity to be restored and for all political leaders to speak out for hardworking, law abiding Americans rather than vicious criminals who murder and rape. It is time to overwhelmingly reject the progressive left and those who don’t have the guts to speak out against it. God Bless America!
  • The vicious Easter Sunday terrorist attack on Christian Churches and hotels in Sri Lanka killing hundred and injuring many more is an indescribable tragedy. It was an attack on religion, an attack on innocent human beings and an attack on civilization. While all the facts are not in, Sri Lankan authorities believe the attack was carried out by a local Islamist terror group - National Thowheed Jamath. Intelligence experts believe however that it would be very difficult for a local terror organization to have carried out an operation of this magnitude and scope without significant outside help from a large, experienced group such as ISIS or Al Qaeda. The attacks on multiple targets and cities and the scale of sophistication, resources, technology and planning point toward an international terror network. Whatever the final details, this large scale attack demonstrates again why we must never let down our guard. Lone wolves and deranged individuals are dangerous, evil and lethal. Networks such as Al Qaeda and ISIS, however, raise the potential for mass death and destruction exponentially higher, as we saw on 9/11. That is why we must not back away or lessen our use of the surveillance and investigatory methods implemented after the 9/11 attacks. No matter what sideline critics such as the New York Times, the ACLU or street demonstrators say, these methods and techniques are absolutely essential. We must stand by those in law enforcement and the intelligence community who fight the good fight for the rest of us and are too often assailed and maligned by the blame-America crowd. Too many innocent lives are at risk to do otherwise. Go Bless America!
  • Rosemary and I wish everyone a Happy and Joyous Easter.
  • Happy Passover to all my Jewish friends and constituents.
  • Too often I think people take for granted the outstanding work which Police Officers do in preserving the quality of life in our communities. Besides the high profile work they do confronting murder, robbery, narcotics, etc., their quiet presence at community events is strongly reassuring. I was reminded of this at events I attended over the weekend. There was Senator Martinez’s Easter Egg Roll in Brentwood on Saturday where 3 Suffolk County Police Officers and a Deputy Sheriff strolled quietly through the crowd of kids and parents nodding hello and smiling with the kids. Then on Sunday morning at Seaford’s Easter Egg Roll and that afternoon at Farmingdale’s Little League Opening Nassau Police Officers were there to make sure all went well, doing so calmly and quietly. It is because of these Police Officers that local organizations are able to plan events which bring the community together, knowing that they will be safe, without incident and enjoyable for all. Thanks to the Men and Women in Blue! #police #suffolkcounty #nassaucounty #longisland
  • The destructive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral is a terrible tragedy and irreplaceable loss not just for Parisians and Catholics but for all of civilization.
  • Attorney General William Barr has a long and distinguished career and has been acknowledged as a man of great character and integrity. Since receiving the Mueller Report, he has complied with the letter and spirit of the law in every respect. He has also lived up to his obligation as the America’s chief law enforcement officer by opening an investigation into all aspects of the Obama Justice Department’s surveillance of the Trump campaign. That investigation must also include the actions of John Brennan and James Clapper. After two years of intensive investigation Bob Mueller found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia because there was none. The investigation started by James Comey and handed off the Mueller was baseless from the start which is why Attorney General Barr is examining its genesis. It is time for Democrats and their media allies to put aside their Trump Derangement Syndrome and allow Attorney General Barr to do his job.
  • Wonderful community outpouring this morning at Seaford’s Washington Avenue Park as hundreds of parents and kids showed up for a terrific Easter Egg Roll. Just a great morning of community activity and good spirits with many happy kids and government officials including Hempstead Councilwoman Erin King Sweeney and Legislator Steve Rhoads. Once again made me proud to live in Seaford and to have raised my children there! #seaford #easter #longisland
  • Great event yesterday in Brentwood as New York State Senator Monica Martinez hosted her Third Annual Easter Egg Hunt on the Grounds of the Sisters of St. Joseph. Wonderful turnout of good people with their kids. Brentwood is a terrific community and Senator Martinez serves them well. Really glad to be there once again. #brentwood #easter #easteregghunt #longisland
  • Misting rain and ominous looking gray clouds couldn’t keep a large array of kids, parents and grandparents from showing for the Seaford Little League’s Opening Day Parade to start the 2019 season. The Seaford Little League is a community institution bringing so many people together. My son Sean and my daughter Erin both played in the Seaford Little League and we all have great memories of those years. It was great to talk with the kids and their families and share their smiles and hopes. To me there’s nothing like young kids playing baseball. Have a great season! Play Ball!! #baseball #seaford #longisland
  • Governor Cuomo’s so-called “Congestion Pricing” scheme is just another form of a Commuter Tax which will just increase the burden on Long Island taxpaying homeowners who must commute to Manhattan. Charging people just to drive into Manhattan will damage our region’s economy. It will slam Long Islanders who cannot afford it. Governor Cuomo cavalierly says that his Congestion Pricing Commuter Tax will only affect the “rich.” Tell that to the hard working middle-income taxpayers who must commute to Manhattan to earn a living or the people who must take a family member to a physician in Manhattan. This week I was proud to stand with Nassau County Republican elected officials including Town of Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Don Clavin and Oyster Bay Supervisor Joe Saladino in denouncing this Congestion Pricing Commuter Tax (estimated to be $1 billion) as a regressive tax and taxation without representation. This fight must and will go on!
  • Alicia Napoleon-Espinosa (“The Empress”) of Lindenhurst is the World Super Middleweight Women’s Boxing Champion. She is a truly outstanding athlete and I am proud that she is one of my constituents. Wednesday night Alicia fought Eva Bajic of Hungary at Sony Hall on W.46th Street. The Hall was packed tight with a loud capacity crowd, many of them Alicia’s friends, neighbors and supporters from Long Island. Alicia didn’t disappoint her fans, dominating the fight from the opening bell and scoring a devastating 2nd round knockout. Before the fight Alicia told me her fight plan was to work the body and then go the head - - and she did it to perfection. Last night’s fight was also a family event with her husband, father and brother cheering her on. It was great meeting and talking with them. Besides her outstanding boxing career Alicia is a physical fitness expert and a gifted artist. Proud to represent Alicia and her hardworking Lindenhurst family in Congress. #boxing #lindenhurst
