The New York Young Republican Club is proud to endorse Caroline Shinkle for Congress in New York’s 12th Congressional District. NY-12 encompasses the heart of Manhattan, the beating heart of American capitalism, now suffering under the failed socialist experiment of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Its residents deserve a fighter in Washington who understands markets, understands the ravages of big government, and will stand against the far-left forces driving businesses and families out of our city. That is why the New York Young Republican Club is proud to endorse Caroline Shinkle for Congress.
Caroline Shinkle is exactly the caliber of candidate this seat demands. An MIT economics graduate and Harvard Law School alumna, she built a career grounded in the real-world mechanics of finance and markets, with stints at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the European Central Bank, and the Bank for International Settlements before practicing corporate law at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, advising businesses and financial institutions on mergers, capital markets, and regulatory matters. She is not a career politician or a failed aide climbing the patronage ladder; she is a serious professional who understands what actually keeps a city’s economy running, and what destroys it. The Manhattan Republican Party recognized her talent early, endorsing her campaign, and “America’s Mayor” Rudy Giuliani has called her one of the best candidates to emerge in years.
Caroline is running to succeed retiring Congressman Jerry Nadler at a moment when the stakes for Manhattan could not be higher. She has been a clear-eyed and outspoken critic of Mayor Mamdani’s socialist agenda, warning that his policies are pushing employers like Goldman Sachs to expand elsewhere and driving job creators like Ken Griffin out of the city altogether. She has called out the explosion of antisemitism, the surge in crime, and the out-of-control cost of living that are the direct result of far-left mismanagement, and she has made clear that New Yorkers cannot afford to send another rubber stamp for that agenda to Washington. Where her opponent represents the same tired playbook of tax-and-spend socialism that has sent this city into decline, Caroline Shinkle offers a return to the free-market entrepreneurial values that built New York into the greatest city in the world.
The New York Young Republican Club is proud to endorse Caroline Shinkle for Congress in New York’s 12th Congressional District. We urge all Republicans and fellow Patriots across Manhattan to support her campaign and help deliver the city a real fighter in Washington instead of another failed extension of the Mamdani agenda.
