Thomas Sartin, Chair of the Saratoga County Conservative Party, has been elected to the Executive Committee of the Conservative Party of New York State, according to remarks from the county affiliate. Sartin was elected Thursday ahead of a party reception in Orange County.
State leaders gathered in Goshen on August 28 for an Executive Committee session, where they held final discussions on the State Conservative Party’s updated National Affairs Platform. The document was formally introduced later that evening at a reception hosted by the state organization. That event also served as a fundraiser, with Tom King, President of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, delivering the keynote address.
Following the reception, the Saratoga County Conservative Party shared on social media that Sartin had been elected to the state committee during the day’s events. That announcement was later shared by the Conservative Party of New York State.
Sartin, a police officer in Saratoga Springs, has served as county chair of the Saratoga Conservative Party since being unanimously elected at its September 2024 organization meeting. Prior to his time as a Conservative, Sartin was a member of the Republican Party and also briefly participated in the Working Families Party as part of an alleged organized effort to force candidate primaries.
In addition to Sartin’s election, the State Conservative Party finalized its National Affairs Platform. This document is produced separate from the party’s list of state-level priorities, and outlines its positions on various national issues.
While the full platform has not yet been released, past editions have called for expelling Russia from the United Nations Security Council, supporting aid to Ukraine, stricter immigration enforcement at the Southern Border, phasing out the Department of Education, and banning assisted suicide. The party said it will release the updated platform in the coming days.
