Op-ed: It’s time for common-sense leadership in Queens – QNS
qns.com
New York City is at a crossroads—and our community knows it. I’m running for City Council to bring common sense back to local governmentExpect more of the same. After decades of radical left progressive rule and ideology the message has been clear- the democrats have a contempt for NYers and are obsessed with the destruction of this once great city. Four recent events remind us of that and their tools for manipulation of the voter- the Marxist BLM protests as a fake civil rights movement, the mismanagement of the Wuhan pandemic (and the deaths and misery that caused), their destructive Woke Race and Gender program andClimate Change policy. All which remind us- common sense no longer exists.
