The QUEENS GOP was on the move in Council District 19 as it sent out its petitioners this weekend. Meanwhile, City Council candidate Dan Halloran moved forward with his campaign, bolstered by his four-party endorsements; Republican, Conservative, Independence & Libertarian. The campaign workers gathered at Halloran’s headquarters on Francis Lewis Boulevard in Whitestone to divide up the petitions between Notaries and Party members Thursday evening and then hit the ground running over the weekend. Representatives of the Independence and Conservative parties joined the Republican Chairman Phil Ragusa and Libertarian Party Chair, John Procida in guiding assignments and reviewing materials for the all-volunteer staff.
Executive Vice Chair of the Queens GOP Vince Tabone remarked that Halloran had gathered an incredibly broad base of support and network of workers, “It’s a testament to Dan’s vast appeal as a candidate and as a lifelong resident of this neighborhood he truly connects to a variety of people and groups in a way no other candidate can- he truly is a product of the 19th Council District for five generations. As a Bayside resident and homeowner I am looking forward to having Dan Halloran represent me in City Hall.”
Kimon Thermos, GOP Coordinator for the Council races has a speacial interest in the 19th council District as it is his home district. Thermos has been working alongside party officials all week getting the packets together for the petitions, while assisting the Halloran Campaign on its carriers inside the district. Hard work throughout the week by many people ensured a smooth handoff and the Campaign expects to successfully complete all four ballot lines in a timely manner.

Council Candidate Dan Halloran took to Bowne Park with his mantle Great Dane Dasher to join State Senator Frank Padavan at the Annual Bowne Park Civic Concert. Together with hundreds of local residents, and wonderful sunny weather, the festivities and concert were one more success for the civic organization and its community, which benefited from the many hours of fun and great music.
Halloran, who grew up in the area, and owns a home a block from the park, is a frequent visitor to the park with his two Great Danes, Dasher and Daisy; the two dogs are gentle giants and well known in the Park as “canine good citizens”. The Halloran family has bred and shown Great Danes for three generations, having champion lines since the 1960’s. State Senator Padavan who co-sponsored the event at the park enjoyed the company of Dan and Dasher, and was seen playing with Dasher and quipped “all that Dasher needs is a saddle to give the kids pony-rides.”
Halloran commended president of the Bowne Park Civic Association, Wanda Beck Antosh, and her efforts on behalf of the neighborhood, which is his home civic. “The Bowne Park Civic has been and continues to be a bright spot in the history of this historic park, the roots of which stretch back to Mayor Walter Bowne, descendant of John Bowne, a founder of Religious Freedom in Flushing, and his great contributions to our community” Halloran said. “This event draws our community together and reminds us of our connection to each other and our green-spaces.”
