Former
Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley is stepping up efforts in her Queens
borough president run with a poll finding one in five voters would pick
her over her leading rivals.
While Crowley has been quiet since losing a tough re-election fight in 2017, she touted the poll as proof she’s still a contender.
"During my years in City Council, I fought for Queens values and against the status quo — I fought to protect public safety, to expand transportation, and to bring reform to the city's budgeting process,” she said in a Sunday statement. “Based on our polling, voters are aware of what I’ve accomplished and that my record is resonating with voters.”
A
survey of 1,282 likely voters put Crowley against leading candidates
Jimmy Van Bramer, Costa
Constantinides and Donovan Richards, all Queens
Council members. A plurality of respondents — 44% — said they didn’t
know who’d they vote for if the election were held now, but 21%
supported Crowley; 16%, Van Bramer; 10%, Richards; and 8%,
Constantinides.
Honan
Strategy Group conducted the survey in October, but its CEO Bradley
Honan said the results are still valid because not much has changed in
the race since then; debates and TV ad campaigns won’t start until the
coming weeks.
Crowley
lost her Council seat to Bob Holden, who ran campaign on opposition to
homeless shelters in the district, which includes Glendale, Maspeth,
Middle Village, Ridgewood, Woodhaven and Woodside.

Tweaking numbers is not a lost art when it comes to polling. The republican pollsters had Hillary Clinton ahead of their own candidate, Donald Trump, as late as October 2016. These percentages reflected in this story mean nothing, the pollsters have their own agenda. More Fake News! The best thing that New Yorker's can do is to stop voting democrat by rote. WAKE UP NYC!
Crowley, Constantinides, Richards and Van Bramer are all different versions of party machine candidates, political hacks, conmen (conwomen), all with the idea of using a few years in the Borough Presidents office to run for mayor. All of them, as a group, illustrate how mediocre and banal our Queens political leadership is.
Dizzy Lizzie!!! Please just go away!!!
1 in 5 for or 4 out of 5 against
I'm seeing a career change in the future out of politics out of luck
Go away already !
It sickens me to death how this DemonRat, party-machine-failed raw sewage just keeps floating around until there's a plumbing backup. Don't these quintessential, sweetheart deal, narcissistic, cognitive dissonant hacks know when the audience is empty, and it's time to stop feeding voraciously from the public trough?
Of all the years that I strenuously attempted to get help, service, recognition, accountability, integrity (ANYTHING!), from this hyper-corrupt, entrenched, establishment-rigged, hostile, dishonest, dishonorable, disloyal, derelict, disgraced and un-American, anti-American scourge of nepotism, I was never successful as a languishing constituent. The replacement is just as UNACCOUNTABLE.
Hey, Swamp Creature Liz: Get thee to the Classifieds, fine a fresh Sharpie marker (of personal color selection), and start circling those paid 'Escort' and 'Hostitutes' Wanted ads - your former constituents will see no visible difference between what you did in Maspeth/Glendale, and your newly matched skill set in the adult escort services for which you can be you are already way overqualified by two decades to be seriously considered!
It's time to abolish these worthless, cradle-to-grave grandstanding offices and to take leadership to an ACCOUNTABLE and consequential level of achievement (We, the People ARE GOVERNMENT). So far, no amount of purported public service from this
Airhead and ditz in one.
Maybe she can go back to painting bridges, ain't she a member of the painters union?
hey anon
about Escort and Hostitutes
most of her sisters look a lot better
unless you like a backside looking like brewery horse
she will always look to sucking on the gubment teet
if not for Bob we would have had the glendale prison halfway house 5 years ago
The turd that won’t stay flushed...
I wonder if she’ll be shoving rival candidates volunteers this time
She can lick all comers.
Listen to any of her debate videos and you will see an uneducated, dumb, boorish and nasty person totally unqualified for public service.
When you all have to run on is vague name recognition - and only by struggling to get your name constantly in the news for something. Thanks to her and the new DA for nice, shiny, new, useless VW memorial in my local park btw: real swell use of my prop-tax $'s, taking up open living space with a useless slab of 'crete...a wall against the gated borders of the park would've made more sense, but then you couldn't've justified the millions spent on it, right?
She is drunk as usual

""most of her sisters look a lot better""
Nasty pushy bigmouths who would run interference at meetings by yelling and starting fights with people.
--- like being in an Irish bar 2AM.
Shitheads, anyway with exception of Breezy Point & Roxbury most Irish who swung the vote to keep these Crowleys in office are now outnumbered.
She don't stand a chance to win anything, jeez what legacy
Roxbury ?
We need to vote for Anthony Miranda, the former cop, whos top campaign adviser and chief strategist is his old pal Hiram Monserrate. This Monserrate is the three time convicted criminal, federal convict prison releasee, domestic violence woman stabber, grifter, thief, drunk, and hustler. Lets give Miranda the keys to Queens Boro Hall so him and Monserrate and the rest of their street gang can raid the joint, steal all the money, hire a bunch of deranged, unemployed, unqualified misfits to cause chaos in the office and overall screw all of us in Queens. I know none of us in Maspeth or Middle Village will vote for this Bozo, but im not so sure about elsewhere. According to the Queens Club he is polling at 0000.2%, which is cause for concern.....
To last Anonymous: We, the People (of QUEENS County's most politically raped, ravaged, tonsured, desecrated, destroyed and disgraced borough of monstrously failed public service), already HAVE an UNACCOUNTABLE, KLEPTOCRATIC CABAL (and, OPENLY PRACTICING street gang raid), of deranged, unemployed INTENSELY INCOMPETENT, hyper-corrupt, ENTRENCHED, ESTABLISHMENT-RIGGED, UNQUALIFIED criminal sociopaths and profoundly dysfunctional misfits, all of whom have left an intentionally languishing people like me to the streets of vigilantism justice, lawlessness——and, a force of unresponsive, tyrannical dictatorship rule that has SO COMPLETELY betrayed ALL pretense of public trust, ethics, integrity, ACCOUNTABILITY and TRANSPARENCY, that it now DEVALUES honesty itself!——to pathologically traitorous and totally disgraced effect!——and, the EVER languishing public be eternally duped, bilked, scammed and damned! It may be a new year 2020, but the Mafia style government henchmen powers that STILL BE, are even MORE tone deaf, UNACCOUNTABLE, UNRESPONSIVE and UNCARING in their 'ALL PAY and NO WORK' government paychecks for which everyone else has continually paid the ULTIMATE, soul-crushing price!
What? WHAT?? THIS IS NEW???

What a looker 8-)
Thanks, Bob, for keeping the homeless shelter out of our backyard. I thought that was the reason why you were elected. Keep up the good work! Keep protesting in front of the Commissioner's house. That should get results for our community.
I have to admit, she's running a good campaign. She's been literally everywhere for the last year and a half. She seems to know everyone (including me!) by first name. And her focus on public transportation is very welcome.
I'd take her for a spin. She has 3 inputs after all.
Whats up with these people?
Look at the teeth..like some mad dogs:
