Curtis Sliwa, the 2021 GOP mayoral nominee and the founder of the Guardian Angels, has launched a new political club in Astoria Queens aimed at breaking up the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) stronghold in western Queens, he announced in a release Wednesday.

The new group, which Sliwa has dubbed the “Ronald Reagan Republican Club,” is intended to challenge DSA-backed pols who represent the area including Congress Member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx, Queens) and City Council Member Tiffany Cabán (D-Queens).
