Statement from Conservative Party of Richmond County Chairman David Mario Curcio:
“The Staten Island Conservative Party mourns the passing of the Honorable James L. Buckley, who served our nation with distinction in all three branches of the federal government.
His election to the United States Senate as a registered member of the New York State Conservative Party remains one of our party’s proudest achievements. Our sincere condolences to the Buckley family.” (www.truthsocial.com/@StatenIslandConservativeParty)
Statement from Conservative Party of New York State Chairman Gerard Kassar:
“It is with great sorrow that the Conservative Party marks the passing of former U.S. Senator James Buckley.
The life and accomplishments of James Buckley will forever be linked with the Conservative Party. In 1970, he made history, when he was elected to the Senate solely on the Conservative Party line; we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude.
In fact, all New Yorkers and the nation has lost a man who spent most of his long life in service to his country. James Buckley is the only American to hold senior roles in all three branches of government.
From World War II naval service through a term in the US Senate, senior roles in the Reagan Administration and years on the Federal Bench, James Buckley’s legacy will be praised and studied for generations to come.
A member of a family who played a key role in forming the modern conservative movement, James Buckley was a ‘man for all seasons’. He will be greatly missed.” (www.cpnys.org)
