Dan Halloran For New York City Council District 19

The Queens Examiner is the latest to decide what voters throughout Northeast Queens have decided – that Dan Halloran is the best choice for the City Council.

From the Examiner:

“We…were extremely impressed with Halloran’s grasp of the issues that face the district – from helping small businesses to the developments in the College Point Corporate Park to landmarking the neighborhood of Broadway-Flushing.

“An attorney who grew up in Northeast Queens and still calls it home, Halloran is a confident candidate who is well spoken and impressed us as an independent thinker. Despite the fact that he is running on the Republican line, Halloran convinced us that he would tackle issues on a case-by-case basis free of partisan politics.

“This paper believes that, in time, Halloran will become a highly respected member of the City Council, one who can deliver funds and services to the district by working to build positive relationships with his fellow City Council members.

“Halloran is an intelligent and honest candidate, and for that he deserves your vote to become the next council member in the 19th District.”

Opinion

The City Council campaign of Dan Halloran gained even more momentum on Saturday with the endorsement of City Council Minority Leader James Oddo of Staten Island.

“I’m proud to accept the endorsement of Councilman Oddo, a true warrior for New York City’s working families and small businesses,” Halloran said. “I look forward to working with Councilman Oddo to cut taxes and make our government responsive to the people.”

The following is a statement from Councilman Oddo:

“We need another fighter in City Hall to join us in our struggle to give middle and working class New Yorkers a greater voice in City government. After having the opportunity to speak with you on various occasions, I know that you agree our government spends too much of our money because it tries to be all things to all people.

“It is clear that tough budget choices will have to be made in the City Council in the coming months. This makes it imperative to elect candidates like you – fighters for New York City’s often forgotten working and middle class families – to the City Council.”
