Staff Report

The Ontario County Republican Committee has officially endorsed two local legal professionals for upcoming judicial races in the November 4 election.  Judge Kristina “Kitty” Karle received the committee’s backing for New York State Supreme Court Justice, while Stefanie Barnes was endorsed for Ontario County Judge.

Karle, currently serving her seventh year on the Ontario County Court Bench, is seeking election to the Supreme Court in the state’s 7th Judicial District, which includes eight counties. She presides over family, criminal, and Supreme Court cases, including Youth Part for youthful offender matters. Since taking the bench, she has overseen nearly 7,000 cases.

Barnes, a solo practitioner and part-time assistant district attorney in Wayne County, brings 25 years of legal experience to her candidacy. She has spent seven years as a prosecutor, including the last five in the Major Felonies Bureau. In addition to her prosecutorial work, Barnes has served as a defense attorney and holds certifications as a Court Evaluator, Guardian Ad Litem, and Attorney for the Child.

Committee Chairwoman Trisha Turner praised both candidates for their dedication and qualifications, noting that each has “distinguished themselves by their work.”

The OCWRC held a wonderful event this Fall focused on camaraderie and support for the upcoming election of local candidates.

 

Members brought delicious Fall dishes to share, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. If you weren't able to join us this time, we hope to see you next year!

 

Trisha Turner, President of OCWRC, NYSFRW, and County GOP Chair, is highly respected among her GOP peers, both men and women. Under her leadership, women's clubs across the state have seen substantial growth. She has organized influential annual conferences featuring keynote speakers like Kellyanne Conway and Riley Gaines, among others. Trisha is a strategic powerhouse within our Party, and we deeply appreciate her dedicated service.

Caring for America Award May 2024

A big "Thank You" to the New York State Federation of Republican Women and congratulations to the Ontario County Women’s Republican Club on receiving the Caring for America award at the May 2024 NYSFRW conference.   We prepared over 350 stockings and delivered a car load of toys for veteran families, in collaboration with Zeldin Cares,  Monroe County Federated Republican Women, and Steuben County Federated Republican Women.  Thank you to all volunteers for making such a positive difference in the lives of our veterans and their families! #nysfrw #followers

We are making a difference! Thank you to Assemblywoman Marjorie Byrnes and attorney Bobbie Anne Cox for bringing this to the court and for your advocacy! And, for every single voice that rails against this insanity! Don’t be fooled by the language in the bill that couches the word “rights” that also strip parental rights, assaults women’s sports and our own voting rights! We will continue the fight!
