Regarding Christopher Walsh’s article about Nick LaLota [“Constituents Brave Chill To Protest LaLota’s Lack of In-Person Town Halls,” 27east.com, February 19: I agree with the protesters. He has never had a town hall, a “meet the candidate,” and his office doesn’t answer emails. And nary a newsletter.

It’s time for the Long Island Republican Party to find a candidate who will represent and serve their constituency.

Support a Free PressThe other day, we learned that Donald Trump had the Associated Press kicked out of a news conference and barred from future ones because it would not call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. This is outrageous. But...
Reform Takes TimeIf Ed Surgan enjoys reading letters from local Democrats [“It Stinks,” Letters, February 27], he’s likely to have an aneurysm reading a letter from a local Republican who says the same thing. I’ve been a Republican since I registered to...
