National GOp office in Qns.

ALBANY — The Republican National Committee is opening an office in the belly of the beast — New York City — in hopes of working with the state GOP to better reach a broader array of communities.

The office will be located in Queens with a staffer who will train activists in the best ways to reach out to Republicans and non-Republicans, state GOP Executive Director Jason Weingartner said.

Though Democrats far outnumber Republicans in both the city and state, the hope is to train — over a six-week period — at least 200 potential activists from the black, Hispanic and other communities that traditionally don’t vote for the GOP.

The activists would be deployed throughout New York for upcoming congressional and state Senate races as well as be dispatched nationally, Weingartner said.

“The goal is to help us expand our reach and activity here in the city and around New York State,” Weingartner said.

“It’s taking advantage of people from different communities that can talk to people in their own languages.” A spokesman for the state Democratic Party had no comment.
