April RHNA Meeting – Featuring Two Dynamic Conservative Voices

April RHNA Meeting – Featuring Two Dynamic Conservative Voices

Join us for an unforgettable evening with two inspiring guest speakers whose lives and work exemplify the values we hold dear—service, leadership, and the defense of American principles.

Esther Valdes Clayton – A Leading Voice on Immigration and American Values

Also joining us is Esther Valdes Clayton, a highly respected immigration attorney and passionate conservative who brings clarity and conviction to one of today’s most pressing issues: immigration policy.

With decades of real-world legal experience, Esther works daily with individuals navigating the complex realities of asylum and border policy. Her insights blend legal expertise with deep human empathy, offering a thoughtful perspective on how we can secure our borders while honoring the contributions of immigrants who strengthen our nation.

Esther places immigration in its larger economic context—reminding us that fair and effective immigration policy is vital to America’s future. In a world where many developed nations face aging populations and workforce shortages, our immigrant population is one of our greatest assets.

More than a legal expert, Esther is a champion for conservative values, national security, and American resilience. Her voice is principled, compassionate, and essential to shaping our future.

Craig Candelore – A Life of Service, Leadership, and Conservative Values

We’re proud to welcome Craig Candelore as our featured guest speaker this April. A West Point graduate and retired Army Colonel, Craig served with distinction in both Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. His leadership didn’t end with his military career—he’s also a respected attorney with over 40 years of legal experience, known for blending discipline, intellect, and integrity in and out of the courtroom.

Craig’s journey of service began early, working as a UN translator in Geneva before college, fluent in French and German. Today, he’s a steady force within the Republican Central Committee, representing the 80th Assembly District since 2011 and serving as Chair for two years. Recently re-elected in 2025 to represent District One, Craig continues to champion conservative values at the local level.

Craig’s story is one of courage, honor, and unwavering commitment to justice and liberty. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from a man whose leadership spans global diplomacy, military valor, legal excellence, and grassroots activism.
