Donovan endorses Malliotakis for mayor
Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis, waging a fierce battle to garner the Republican Party’s nomination to run for mayor, has picked up a key endorsement from a one-time rival.
U.S Rep. Dan Donovan announced his endorsement of Malliotakis on Tuesday.
“I’m proud to endorse Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis for mayor. As our friend and neighbor, Nicole deeply understands the issues that matter to our community and she has a proven track record of fighting for them. Whether it’s her work to make government more efficient and accountable, her strong support of the NYPD or her ongoing efforts helping residents rebuild after Superstorm Sandy, Nicole is the kind of common-sense leader we desperately need in City Hall,” Donovan (R-C-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) said in a statement.
