SENATOR GOLDEN ENDORSES DAN HALLORAN
State Senator Martin Golden (R-Brooklyn) endorsed Dan Halloran on Sunday, further cementing his status as the frontrunner for City Council in the 19th District.
“As a former police officer who was elected to the City Council myself, I know Dan, as a former prosecutor, can help clean up City Hall and deliver for this community,” Golden said. “We’ve got Republicans here, Conservatives, Independents, and Democrats. That’s how you win.”
Golden became the third current or former Senator from New York City to endorse Halloran’s campaign, joining respected leaders Frank Padavan (R-Queens) and Serf Maltese (R-Queens).
“I’ve a proud supporter of Dan because I know northeast Queens needs someone with deep roots here,” Padavan said. “Dan is from this community, and he loves this community. When elected, he will fight to preserve this community.”
“Our homeowners and small businesses have been crushed by taxes,” Maltese said. “I fought for years in Albany to reduce the heavy taxes that burden New Yorkers. Dan understands that to create jobs, we have to invest in our small businesses and working people. That’s why we need him in the City Council.”
“I am proud to be endorsed by three of our city’s strongest leaders,” Halloran said. “Senators Padavan, Golden and Maltese have fought for New York City in Albany for years. In City Hall, I’ll continue their work – to lower our taxes, clean up our streets and stand up to developers who see Queens as a cashbox and not a community.”
