BERGEN BEACH — THE KINGS COUNTY Conservative Party will host its annual brunch the afternoon of April 26 at the Hudson River Yacht Club, one of the oldest boat clubs in Brooklyn that was founded in 1873, 2101 Bergen Ave.
Donald Cranston will receive the Ronald Reagan Americanism Award, an honor reserved for one who volunteers their time and is active in their community, according to KCCP Chair Fran Vella-Marrone.
Cranston is a Brooklyn-based community figure and political activist involved in local civic and party activities in southern Brooklyn. He has worked in constituent services for former Sen. Marty Golden. Cranston also comes from a large law enforcement and military family, with many of his brothers and father serving in corrections departments, unions and as police officers.
Cranston’s 46th District campaign for New York City Council in 2021 focused on issues of public safety, education and quality of life. He currently serves as a community liaison to Assemblymember Jaime Williams.
The KCCP, founded in 1962, has played a significant role in New York politics, with notable figures such as Jerry Kassar and Vella-Marrone serving as chairs and contributing to the party’s growth and influence. The organization has a rich history of advocating for conservative values and supporting local and state political candidates.
