State Assemblyman Francisco Moya (D-Jackson Heights) announced Thursday that he will run for the City Council in the 21st District after City Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras-Copeland (D-East Elmhurst) decided against running for re-election this fall.
Ferreras-Copeland first won her seat on the City Council in 2009, becoming the borough’s first Latina elected official and she went on to make history in 2014 when she became the first woman and first person of color to be named the head of the Council’s powerful Finance Committee.
“After a great deal of thought and prayer, I have decided not to run for re-election,” Ferreras-Copeland said in a statement to Politico. “I have had the privilege of representing the 21st District in Queens for eight years, where I’ve fought for the education of our children, the rights of women and families, and the protection of our immigrants.”
Ferreras-Copeland married Aaron Copeland in a 2015 wedding officiated by Mayor Bill de Blasio, but Copeland works as an aerospace engineer in Maryland.
“As a mother and a wife, it has become increasingly difficult to have my family divided in two locations,” she said. “Although this is not an easy decision, this is what makes sense for my son, for my family, and for me.”
(In other words, Hiram has a lot of dirt on her.)

Yay!
She's a Bag-o-shit, but is her successor any better?
Why is she allowed to run for a third term anyway? Isn't term limits for two terms?
This is unexpected. Wasn't she DiBlasio's favorite and a front-runner for next Chair of the City Council?
And now we have another career politician swooping in to claim the seat?

She was grandfathered in (as was everyone else) who held office during Bloomberg's temporary three term limit emendation of the NYC Charter.
We can only hope Hiram cooled his jets a bit in prison, and is too toxic politically to do anything all that damaging. Or, you know, one of y'all who lives in the district could spend some time helping a fresh candidate mount a challenge that you channel into Queenscrap anger.
Step aside while Hiram "Slash" Monserrate cuts in.
"Bad politicians are elected by good people who don't vote !"
Another worthless, 'I helped no one but myself' city council parasite (and congenital, inveterate liar), whose two wasted terms changed nothing for no one (except herself, naturally)!
Rewind to February, 2011: Now, I shall NEVER forget the day that I had to give Ms. Ferreras a crash course in art history, as she insisted (ironically, right before a press conference that she was about to give on the steps of Kew Gardens Plaza, on Friday, February 25, 2011), that the beloved Kew Gardens statue, 'Triumph Of Civic Virtue,' was not misogynistic, and the towering Greek mythological figure was NOT crushing the two allegorical 'women' that were draped beneath his feet on a bedrock, according to Julissa the art expert without so much as a BFA (as I had earned, followed by an MFA from Cornell University).
In fact, as I continued to explain to the art challenged Ferreras (before she was ready to join former disgraced Congressman Anthony Weinter in a scheduled press conference in front of the statue on that fateful day, where Weiner absurdly proposed that the statue be sold off on Craig's List), that the female sirens at the bottom of the statue's bedrock base were not women at all, but allegorical representations that symbolized corruption and vice. (Likewise, there are statues in Italy and around the world that feature a FEMALE figure that towers above two MEN allegories for corruption and vice.)
So, I watched this Attention Deficit Disorder laden representative listen intently to what I thought was a successful explanation of the facts behind 'Triumph Of Civic Virtue,' followed by a second reminder of my academic prowess that earned garnered an MFA from Cornell University, so my statement was not merely a layman's opinion, but a professional's statement of fact.
Then, the cameras started rolling, as Weiner and Ferreras addressed the press and the public at large, as they gathered around Kew Gardens Plaza (the video is available on You Tube). And, what does Ms. Ferreras say before the cameras without blinking?: ❝It's a man crushing two women,❞ only minutes after I had just finished explaining to her that her opinion was wrong and irresponsibly misleading, and there was no such act of a man crushing two women on display——because THEY WERE NOT TWO WOMEN AT ALL!
In the end, the lies perpetuated by Julissa Ferreras served to WILLFULLY mislead the public, followed shortly by the actions of YET ANOTHER mad and despicable predator named Helen Marshall (former BP), who showed her FINAL contempt for all of Queens County and its languishing taxpayers' (not to mention the statue itself that she LIKEWISE and willfully allowed to decay into a pillar of salt, before ordering its eviction to a Brooklyn graveyard, despite her decades old budgetary obligations to maintain and care for Civic Virtue that was prominently displayed just steps away from Borough Hall) before stepping down after her final (and disgraced) second term, and it's abundantly clear why the new breed of today's politically failed leadership is so completely derelict and betraying——that they all now DEVALUE honesty itself——to pathological and tyrannical effect!
Now, we have a quasi new Borough President, Melinda Katz, whose failed leadership is even worse than her betraying predecessor——and, the public be damned (again and STILL)!
SAME CIRCUS——DIFFERENT UNFUNNY CLOWNS!

Just like Arbitration Rock and Queen Catherine, the nitwits in charge write their own history damn the facts.
