3 candidates enter race for Koo's seat

From the Queens Courier:

Three Flushing candidates with histories of failed bids for office are now eying another election.

Democrat John Scandalios and Green Party candidate Evergreen Chou will try their luck at unseating incumbent Councilmember Peter Koo in the 20th District in this year’s City Council election.

Republican Sunny Hahn, a retired city human rights specialist, said she is contemplating a run but has not decided. She is the only one so far to register a campaign committee with the state’s Board of Elections.

Hahn and Scandalios were among several candidates to lose their Assembly bids last year to Assemblymember-elect Ron Kim. Chou has had three unsuccessful runs for higher office, including his recent congressional loss to now-Congressmember Grace Meng.

But the three say they have honed their campaign techniques.

LOL!
The ever-running for office...Evergreen Chou...
what a joke...as humorous as his Green Party...
and just as powerless.

Then you've got Sunny Hahn, a great lady, who will get (maybe) about 215 votes. She took a beating in the last race.

And the other candidate...yawn!

Koo will keep his cool and his seat.

Jeez...
Chou looks like an Asian arch enemy mastermind from one of those graphic novels.

Lose that outdated 70s long hair already, if you want to be taken seriously.

Is he still going around saying that, like Chairman Mao, he want's to be "the good politician"?

Gag...please stop wasting our time and money!

Chou is one of the few honest people out there running for office looking to make Flushing nicer, instead of of trying to feed himself like a pig from a trough. His campaigns are more about building the Greens and spreading the message since the Tammany (and "reform") Democrats are too compromised. If being involved in politics for reasons other than stuffing his politics makes him a fool, then he's a fool...
