Halloran to Kim: Stick to the Issues

City Council candidate Dan Halloran had a clear message for his opponent, Kevin Kim – end the desperate attacks and stick to the issues.

“All Kevin Kim wants to do is attack me, in a pathetic and desperate attempt to distract the voters from the real issues,” said Halloran. “Kevin Kim doesn’t talk about the issues that affect northeast Queens because he doesn’t understand those issues – not surprising, as he moved to the district just a few months ago, to run for City Council.

“Kevin Kim doesn’t want to talk about overdevelopment because he knows he’s funded by the same builders that overdeveloped downtown Flushing. Kevin Kim is itching to sell this neighborhood to the highest bidder. I’m from the neighborhood. My family has been here for five generations. I know how important it is to preserve the character of our community.”

Halloran spoke to the press outside the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church in Whitestone on the same day he was endorsed by the Greek newspaper Hellas News.

The candidate was joined by supporters including Glenn Berwin of Whitestone and Kimon Thermos, a parishioner at Holy Cross.

“If you’re a developer seeking to make a profit off Northeast Queens, by all means, vote for Kevin Kim,” Halloran said. “If you’re a homeowner trying to raise a family here in Northeast Queens, and you want to preserve the integrity of our neighborhoods, vote for me on November 3.”
