GOP candidate for City Council in the 44th Counc. Dist. no longer "unsettled" --- It's Joseph Hayon

Brooklyn GOP Chairman Craig Eaton and Joseph Hayon had been having difficulty settling on a GOP candidate to run against David Greenfield until Hayon said that he would be willing to do it 

Eaton's support for the independent Republican and social conservative Joseph Hayon signals the second open break from the Conservative Party in a district that is made up predominantly of Orthodox Jewish voters. Craig Eaton also showed that he is willing to reach beyond his inner circle of Republican operatives to generate active and dynamic candidates to fill his slate of prospective members of the City Council from some of those parts of Brooklyn where Republicans have not routinely run candidates in recent elections.

For his part, Joseph Hayon announced that he intended to continue supporting Craig Eaton as his favored candidate to lead the Brooklyn GOP going forward to the 2013 GOP County Convention and for the next two years. Hayon also said he he would be willing to support most of the State and County Committee slate that is endorsed by and running along with Eaton.  However, although he is running as the Republican Candidate for City Council in the 44th Council District, Joseph Hayon will not be supporting any of the Republican candidates for mayor. According to Mr. Hayon, none of the Republican candidates was running on a solid family values platform; and as a result, Hayon could not morally support any of them. Even more controversial, Mr. Hayon states that he will continue to actively support the candidacy of Erick Salgado, a socially conservative Democrat, who is trying to become that party's candidate.

Hayon is expected  to form a campaign committee and file in time to participate in the NYC Campaign Finance matching funds program.
