I’ve known David Malpass for more than twenty years. He was a comrade-in-arms in the supply-side wing of the Republican party as an official at the Reagan Treasury Department, and later a colleague at Bear, Stearns (he was chief economist while I was fixed-income strategist).  He’s one of a handful of people in politics who really understands what the Reagan administration accomplished, because he helped make it happen.

Now he’s running for Senate in the Republican primary in New York.  Needless to say, he has my support. I append below a note I just received from his campaign. I want to call his work to your attention, and hope you’ll take the time to follow his efforts.

MALPASS RELEASES NEW WEB VIDEO

While New Yorkers are Losing Jobs, Gillibrand Parties at the Plaza with Embattled Congressman, Big-Government Friends

New York- August 12, 2010... U.S. Senate Candidate David R. Malpass (R-NY), a nationally-recognized fiscal conservative and a former Reagan-Bush 41 Treasury and State Department official today released a new web video slamming unelected Senator Kirsten Gillibrand for celebrating Congressman Rangel’s birthday fundraiser at the Plaza Hotel last night while struggling New Yorkers are suffering from the highest unemployment rate in decades.

You can view the web video on YouTube here.

“Senator Gillibrand’s priorities are seriously out of whack,” said Mr. Malpass. “New Yorkers are suffering due to Washington’s massive tax and spend policies that are killing jobs, yet our senator is more concerned with attending fundraisers at the Plaza with her big-government friends. She has refused to answer my call to donate the $29,000 she has received from Congressman Rangel, but she will have to answer to the voters in November. I don’t know if she’s done much talking with New Yorkers these days, but this is exactly the kind of behavior they are fed up with.”




Dear Reader,

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.

For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.

In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.

So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?

Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
