NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS – MayorSince Bill de Blasio took office, the homeless population in our city’s shelters and streets have hit an all-time high. A June report issued by the NYC Department of Homeless Services shared that street homeless has gone up nearly 40% this past year alone. Instead of being proactive about providing opportunities to help transition individuals out of the shelter system and addressing some of the underlying issues of homelessness like substance abuse, mental illness, domestic violence, or lack of employment, Bill de Blasio is proposing to build 90 homeless shelters across the city in our neighborhoods.
Nicole rejects the idea of trying to hide the problem in your backyard. She will address the root cause of homelessness and get homeless families the help they need and instead of building homeless shelters that trap people in a rotating door, she will use funds to build supportive and affordable housing.
J. C. POLANCO – Public AdvocateTens of thousands of our fellow New Yorkers today are homeless. These New Yorkers need a hand up, from mental health counseling, substance abuse, financial literacy support and job training. As Public Advocate, I will work with the City Council and state government to expand mental health counseling and job training to improve the lives of these New Yorkers. Simply putting a Band-Aid on this issue by creating new shelters in our neighborhoods is not the answer.
New York City continues to see incredible over-development. This puts incredible burdens on an already overburdened infrastructure. Politicians continue to over-promise and under-deliver. The truth is we need to work with neighboring counties and state government to improve transportation to and from New York City.
There are hundreds of miles of unused rail in New York City and neighboring areas where vacancy rates will allow for mobility of thousands of families. I will begin the discussion of alleviate the housing crisis by improving commuter rail, ferry and express buses.
MICHEL FAULKNER – ComptrollerThe New York City Housing Authority’s mission is to increase opportunities for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers by providing safe, affordable housing and facilitating access to social and community services. More than 400,000 New Yorkers reside in NYCHA’s 326 public housing developments across the City’s five boroughs. Another 235,000 receive subsidized rental assistance in private homes through the NYCHA-administered Section 8 Leased Housing Program.
For too long, public housing residents have been forced to live in conditions that are unacceptable. The City has known this for years, but has done nothing about it because most elected officials take the residents of these developments (and their votes) for granted. I have spent my life working in communities like public housing and, as Comptroller, I will force the Mayor, the City Council and the Federal and State government into action. Support the NYCHA bill of rights, whether you are a resident of public housing or just a concerned citizen. NYC government should not remain the worst slumlord in the City.
REBECCA HARARY – City Council, District 4Like you, Rebecca cannot bear to see even one more family, veteran, or unemployed person become homeless. Living on the streets of NYC is beneath anyone’s dignity. Yet, our Mayor has decided that the best way to solve the problem – at a cost to New Yorkers of over $400,000 per night – is to put homeless people in hotels and motels throughout New York City. Or, to build more homeless shelters in neighborhoods where no one wants the inherent risks of drug dealing and crime. How does this help the homelessness plight? Mayor DeBlasio is simply bandaging the issue – putting thousands of our homeless New Yorkers at risk and making it even more difficult to escape the Cycle of Homelessness.
Homeless, adult New Yorkers need real help. Instead of more anti-quality of life laws allowing homeless people to urinate on our streets – another example of bandaging the issue and perpetuating the Cycle of Homelessness – we need to find ways to help the homeless obtain job training and drug addiction counseling. And we need to STOP DE BLASIO from unnecessarily spending our hard earned tax dollars on hotel rooms and more homeless shelters.
That’s how Propel Network (www.ThePropelNetwork.org) was born. Rebecca recognized that women whose families were suffering under great financial burden could not find jobs – mainly because they had no formal vocational training. Through tax-deductible donations, Propel Network pays the tuition for women who need to learn job skills and, upon graduating their vocational programs, these women enter the workforce with a marketable job skill. These same women are now supporting their families as accountants, paralegals, graphic designers, etc. It’s a win-win.
When Rebecca becomes City Councilwoman, she’ll work to break the Cycle of Homelessness – giving the homeless a place to stay today, and an education for tomorrow. Rebecca will push for increased access to vocational job training for the homeless, providing subsidized housing to those who enroll. Additionally, she will work to reform how our tax dollars are spent on the homeless. Money needs to be directed toward vocational training and drug addiction counseling. In doing so, thousands of homeless New Yorkers will be able to start anew – with the promise of a brighter future for their families, and for themselves.
FRANK J. SCALA – Borough PresidentAsked what, if elected, his top priority would be, he answered “everything,” though in particular he is concerned about the homeless and how the issue impacts quality of life in the city. Gesturing towards the window of his mezzanine level shop that faces Fifth Avenue, he said a homeless man had taken up residence across the street at a vacant lot. On the avenue, he said, the presence of homeless people has increased, including some that panhandle aggressively “and nobody does anything about it,” said Scala. “People are scared. Are they a poor person or a criminal? They don’t know. They (the homeless) stop tourists and they get scared.” – Town & Village
Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis is running to become Mayor of New York City to stop Bill de Blasio from his continued practice of protecting criminals at the expense of the New York City taxpayer.
Nicole’s father is from Greece and her mother is a Cuban exile of the Castro dictatorship. Her parents came to New York in search of the American Dream, and through their hard work, they attained a modest living as owners of a small business in Brooklyn. Their dedication and entrepreneurial spirit instilled a sense of ambition in Nicole that has inspired her life in public service.
From her dogged determination to expose the corrupt practices of disgraced Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, taking the Port Authority to court over its lack of transparency and winning, to her battle to stop reckless MTA borrowing and Mayor de Blasio’s policy of harboring illegal immigrants convicted of crimes, Nicole has been “tireless” and “fearless” in her quest to protect the New York taxpayer from being “gouged” by tax and spend liberals.
Nicole Malliotakis was elected to the State Assembly on November 2, 2010, defeating a two-term incumbent with 55% of the vote. She was re-elected 3 times in her district which covers Brooklyn and Staten Island, with 61%, 73% and 100% of the vote consecutively. Nicole is determined to bring common sense and accountability to our government.
A lifelong resident of New York City, Nicole attended P.S. 53, I.S. 24, and New Dorp High School. She was the first in her family to graduate from college, earning a B.A. from Seton Hall University and an M.B.A. from Wagner College.
In 2013, Nicole was named one of the American Conservative Union’s “Top 10 Under 40” and addressed the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). She was also named a “40 Under 40 Rising Stars” by City & State, one of the Hispanic Coalition of New York’s “40 under 40” Latino Rising Stars, one of MSNBC’s “Young Conservatives To Watch,” and received special recognition at the 2011 Women of Achievement Awards by the Staten Island Advance. Additionally, Nicole was named to National Herald’s ’40 under 40,” the Greek America Foundation’s “40 under 40,” and received the “Award of Gratitude” by the Order of AHEPA for her contributions to the Hellenic community.
High taxes and runaway spending without results, traffic and transit nightmares and a growing homeless crisis is the tale of Bill de Blasio’s City.
Please join the Vincent F. Albano Midtown Republican Club and your fellow Manhattan Republicans on Tuesday, May 9th for a chance to hear from Republican New York City Mayoral candidate Paul Massey!
Paul Massey is running for mayor to deliver leadership that works for the people of New York City.
A proven leader and entrepreneur, Paul built a successful real estate business with operations in every neighborhood in New York City’s five boroughs. As mayor, he will govern as a problem solver and as a uniter, with a relentless focus on New Yorkers’ most pressing quality of life concerns: affordable housing, quality schools, good jobs and safe streets.
Paul has the vision and experience to deliver on these priorities, having co-founded one of the nation’s largest privately-owned commercial property brokerage firms. He launched Massey Knakal Realty services in 1988, with the company eventually employing hundreds of people and responsible for one-third of all building sales in New York City. Massey Knakal was ranked New York’s #1 investment sales firm in volume for 14 consecutive years and was sold to Cushman & Wakefield in 2014.
While leading Massey Knakal, Paul built trust and relationships with citizens and civic leaders in every corner of New York City, from Bed Stuy and Borough Park to Flushing and the South Shore. As mayor, he will be a leader for all New Yorkers and an advocate for this City as the world’s laboratory for urban innovation; a place where people of diverse talents come together to create, to build and to find new solutions to old problems.
An amateur boxer who has also run five marathons, Paul has always been a tireless worker at his company—where he arrived at his desk every morning at 6:45—and in his community. He serves as President of NYC Pops and as Chairman of the Board of New York City’s Tenement Museum, which tells the story of thousands of ethnically diverse immigrant families who called a single Orchard Street walk up building home.
He is also the Chairman Emeritus of the James Lenox House Association, an organization that provides affordable housing to older New Yorkers, and an active board member of his old high school.
Paul received a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Colgate University in 1982 and moved to New York City in the spring of 1983.
He has been married to his wife Gretchen for 28 years. They have three grown children, PJ, Sarah, and Greta.
