City Council candidate Dan Halloran proudly accepted the endorsement of the New York City Fire Marshals Benevolent Association on Thursday.
“I come from a working class background in this neighborhood,” said Halloran. “In City Hall, I’ll fight for the working families who are the backbone of our city.”
A practicing attorney, Halloran is a former prosecutor and member of the NYPD. He is running to end overdevelopment, cut taxes and invest in our small businesses and working people.
The following is a statement from William Kregler, President of the New York City Fire Marshals Benevolent Association:
“District 19 covers some of the best working class family neighborhoods in New York City. We have seen other neighborhoods adversely affected by uncontrolled and unmonitored development and its negative effects on quality of life.
“[As a former member of the NYPD,] Dan will ensure the quality of life in District 19 by ensuring necessary infrastructure enhancements coincide with responsible development. As an attorney, Dan will ensure the zoning laws are adhered to so that the working class neighborhoods he serves will continue to exist and not fall victim to overdevelopment.
“We look forward to Dan’s commitment to preserving the middle class neighborhoods of the 19th District in his role as City Councilmember.”
Dan Halloran is the Republican, Independence, Conservative and Libertarian nominee for the City Council in Queens’ 19th District, which includes all or parts of Bayside, Auburndale, Bay Terrace, Little Neck, Douglaston, Whitestone, Beechhurst, Robinwood, Flushing and College Point.
The New York City Fire Marshals Benevolent Association, established in 1966, is comprised of over 500 active and retired New York City fire marshals.
