From the Queens Chronicle:
Ex-City Councilman Tom Ognibene, a Republican, is circulating petitions to run for the state Senate against incumbent Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach), a source tells the Queens Chronicle.
Ognibene, a Middle Village attorney, served as a city councilman representing Middle Village, Maspeth, Ridgewood and Glendale from 1992 through 2001. He attempted to take back his Council seat in 2009, but lost to Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village). He later ran for lieutenant governor as the running mate of Carl Paladino, but in a fluke lost the GOP primary to Greg Edwards, county executive of Chautauqua County in Western New York, the preferred running mate of unsuccessful GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio.

Go away already. We had enough of you (both).
There isn't a single district in Queens that a Republican can carry. Even Mr. Ulrich's city council district will be gerrymandered out of existence next go-round. Zip, nada, nilch. A Rep cannot win. Period.
Choose your poison.
How about term limits for Assembly/Senate seats!?!? These people get elected , do next to nothing positive, become wealthy and leave with a fat pension.
