NJGOP Hosts MEP Dominik Tarczyński in Wallington and Launches Polish-American Republican Coalition

WALLINGTON, N.J. — The New Jersey Republican Party (NJGOP) hosted Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Dominik Tarczyński at a special, free public rally on Saturday, August 15, at 6:00 PM.

The high-profile event brought in hundreds of supporters and took place at Cracovia Manor, located at 196 Main Avenue in Wallington, New Jersey. Tarczynski is a highly popular Polish leader with a wide international media presence. Best known for his strong public stances on curtailing illegal immigration and his slogan “Be like Poland”.

Wallington holds profound cultural significance for the event as a historic hub widely celebrated as “Little Poland,” with an estimated 43% to 50% of its local population tracing their ancestry directly to Poland. The community serves as a vibrant cornerstone of Polish-American heritage in the Garden State.

MEP Tarczyński was joined at the rally by Clifton Councilwoman and Republican Nominee for Congress in NJ-09, Rosie Pino. The 9th Congressional District includes Wallington and several other municipalities that are home to thriving communities of Polish-American patriots who share conservative values of faith, family, and freedom.

“We were incredibly excited to welcome Dominik Tarczyński to New Jersey,” said NJGOP Vice-Chair Pavel Sokolov, whose wife and son are of Polish descent. “Dominik is a steadfast leader who has contributed immensely to making Poland a safe country by rejecting globalism and the influx of disastrous illegal immigration. His voice resonates deeply with freedom-loving Americans who believe in strong borders and national sovereignty.”

The event drew hundreds of Polish-American New Jerseyans who came together with tremendous enthusiasm for the visit.  The NJGOP officially launched its Polish-American Republican Coalition at the event, naming Johan Iwanowski as its chair.  

“Johan brings great passion to the position and the coalition could not come at a better time as we see the Democratic Party in New Jersey lurching to the left and embracing socialism,” said NJGOP Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon. “New Jerseyans of Polish descent number almost 500,000 and it is important to highlight how important this community is to our state and to the Republican Party. I am grateful to Johan and all those who planned this tremendous event, including coalition chair Iwanowski, NJGOP Vice Chair Pavel Sokolov, and Congressional District-9 candidate Rosie Pino.”

The event was attended by numerous Republican elected officials and party leaders from across the state.
