Richard Lee wants to be your Baby Bear

Welp, I never thought I'd see a candidate play off the Goldilocks story, but here we have it.

Mama Bear Nancy Pelosi was correct when she said that the Democratic party leads with their values... their rotten stinking empty values!

What a choice! As a former Whitestone, New York resident, former resident, I must advise you that Tony Avella was a crappy NYC Councilman and a worse State Senator. The other guy's no bargain either. But hey, that's what you've got to choose from in NYC.

Tony Avella cared and stood up for his constituents, you may not like his tactics, but he fought for this community.

Can’t say the same for the rest. Shafran only moved back last year to run and he is trying to play both sides. He supports defunding the police to the unions for support and he is against defunding the police in public for votes.

Lee pretends he was the borough president, yet he has never stood with the community at any rallies, he should maybe actually be a civic leader before he tries to pretend that he actually cares about anyone, but himself.

Lee pretends he was the borough president

On his advertisements, I've only seen Lee say that he is the Budget Director for the Office of the Queens Borough President.

Avella did collaborate with the Republicans as part of that power-sharing Independent Democratic Conference, so many people will hold that against him. Shafran strikes me as someone who will say anything to get elected. I'm going to take a closer look at both Lee and Spangenberg over the next two weeks, despite the latter's John Bolton-esque mustache.

Before 2013 Shafran never even showed up to local political clubs & civic associations until he was running for office. He even ignores constituents who question him on the issues. Don't trust a politician who cheated on his first wife, then leaves his first wife for his mistress who becomes his second wife and gives birth to his children.

One lousy democrat is still better than a fascist pig any day.

Avella didn’t collaborate with the republicans, that was the propaganda you were feed by the leftist who got John Liu elected. He still voted the same way he always did, more so then leader Andrea Stewart Cousins. Also even if the IDC was with the Dems they still wouldn’t of had the majority as republicans has the numbers. Just look at 2018 when the IDC and Dems joined together.

Also Lee says he was the one who gave out all that money, when in Fact the BP is the one who chooses who gets the money. He makes it seem like he did it all.

In all his time in office, Avella never accomplished anything for his constituents but excuses. He's a career politician for a reason, he can't do anything. He was handmaiden for the Staviskys and that's about it. Another worthless liberal.

Shafran's mother, Phylis Shafran, came out of the Donald Manes gang.

It's not my district, so I don't know most of the candidates, and only know Avella from the usually glowing coverage he gets here at Queens Crap.
But I've worked with Richard Lee for several years since I started dealing with grants from the BP at work. The guy knows City government inside and out. I can't comment on his proposed policies, but I can say he's competent and earnest.

All I know is I contributed $100 to each of Tony’s failed runs. He bowed out and kept my money . Time to retire, phony Tony!

Last comment nails the extreme arrogance and unprecedented cowardice of publicly failed stooge like Tony Avella: He is the epitome of what an entrenched, hyper-corrupt, establishment-rigged career of one slimy, counterfeit intellectual, and full-time, grade A asshole looks like.

Case in point: This faker/poser went through the motions to write a two-page letter on my behalf to the Department of Investigation, and he signed it in 2006, requesting an immediate investigation into my documented claims of fraud, corruption and cover-ups that adversely affected my city pension and annual leave accruals. But, then when it came to taking action, his ugly chief-of-staff called the police on me when I showed up to his office to follow up on his letter when I demanded accountability. What an ugly, feckless, corporate obedient coward of epic government fail. I will never forget his cowardice in the wake of serious matters that I alerted him about when he had the chance to act like a REAL public servant, instead of quickly erasing me by unnecessary police intervention, which was a flagrant abuse of power that was never in this low life's purview to abuse in the first place. Karma will definitely catch up with this subhuman failure, who DEVALUES honesty itself, and worse, this shithead even gives MENDACITY a BAD NAME!
