Ed Walsh elected SC Conservative chair

Ed Walsh was unanimously elected as County Conservative Party Chairman before 500 County Committee Members at the Conservative Party re-organization meeting in Hauppauge last night.

Chairman Ed Walsh states, "I am truly grateful and honored to have been elected by the members of the County Committee to continue to serve as their Chairman. Here's a message to all the elected officials and aspiring candidates out there - the Conservative Party is alive and well and it's our goal to keep you in check for the Taxpayers of Suffolk County."

Walsh outlined some of his plans for the Conservative Party which include a regular newsletter to Conservative Party voters, the formation of Conservative Clubs and a County Party website.

The Walsh slate of officers included Jim Tsunis of Smithtown as Executive Chairman and Bill Condon, an Islip Attorney, as First Vice Chairman.

Walsh was elected as the interim Chairman in May with the passing of long time Conservative Party Chairman Dr. Pasquale J. Curcio. He and his wife Patricia live in East Islip and have two children.
