Republican Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis is running to unseat Mayor Bill de Blasio as mayor.
She represents parts of Brooklyn and Staten Island, and is of Greek and Cuban parents.
At 36 years old, she is being called a rising star.
She has stood up to expose the corrupt practices of disgraced state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Gov. Cuomo and, recently, de Blasio, who defies federal laws by harboring many criminal aliens under the city’s sanctuary policies.
Let me also point out this could mean a loss of millions of dollars of federal, anti-terrorism funds.
Mayor de Blasio’s sanctuary-city policies jeopardize all innocent New Yorkers, cops, firefighters, and first responders.
Let me also point out that (Malliotakis) finds (the) dismal state of our transportation system quite troubling and (is) also very concerned with our homeless and the abuse of children — and that more must be done to correct these problems.
I had the proud experience to meet Malliotakis at the Douglaston/Little Neck Memorial Day parade in May, and was introduced to her by Phil Orenstein, president of the Queens Village Republican Club.
I found her to be by our conversation honest, hardworking and dedicated to doing right for all the people of New York City and not just the few.
Nicole Malliotakis in my book is a mayor we need, who is concerned for all of us.
In closing, Malliotakis suggested slogan is, “Get New York City out of the hole, so vote for Nicole.”
I know I will.
