So far, there is only one GOP candidate running for the NYS Senate from the 22nd District that has given the voters a complete autobiography --- and his name is Vito LaBella


Vito LaBella has been a neighborhood guy his whole life  ---  now, he says that he wants to run for the NYS Senate against Andrew Gounardes



Vito LaBella has a solid record of public service and activism in his community of Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights that goes back many, many years prior to his becoming a candidate



He is a retired NYPD Lieutenant ---  and a well-known local education advocate


Vito LaBella was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York; he went to Xaverian HS in Bay Ridge, then went to Creighton University berore he joined the NYPD, and he is now a retired NYPD lieutenant, and lives on Ridge Boulevard, in Bay Ridge Brooklyn.

Mr. LaBella is married and the proud father of two sons and a daughter, all being educated in the NYC Public School System. Vito has taken an active role in his children’s public school education: he works for the Christa McAuliffe Intermediate School (IS 187) PTO, Inc., in Dyker Heights; he has twice been elected to the local Community Education Council; and Vito was also the co-founder of PLACE NYC, which is an organization that advocates for accelerated education, and for NYC Department of Education accountability and transparency.

Vito LaBella expects to use all of his life experiences with the NYPD, and as a local and city-wide education advocate. in the New York State Senate as the Senator in Brooklyn’s newly-drawn 22nd State Senate District.

Not very long ago, here's what "The Queen of the Click" had to say about Vito:

"... Breaking News…..Vito LaBella is considering running for the NY Senate Seat against Andrew Gounardes.... La Bella said... that he wants to build on the work he has done. As a former NYPD Police Lieutenant, LaBella would support... getting this city back on track. Bringing sanity and safety back to the streets and subways is a good start!... Vito LaBella is going to have a lot of support because he has been a man, who has worked to improve education in Brooklyn for many years.... Andrew Gounardes was silent as NY Democrats carved out a new voting district for Gounardes. Although he rallied against gerrymandering for years, a super gerrymandered district was formed to increase the number of Democratic voters to help him maintain the seat. Gounardes doesn’t represent the people of this district and just cares about securing a job for himself. VOTE HIM OUT!... Sadly, Gounardes ran on a platform of street safety, but has not done anything to make streets safer in NY. When a child was hurt or died, Gounardes put a message on social media about how heartbroken he was, but failed to do anything to change the streets. Gounardes was silent as his friends made Brooklyn streets less safe and broke the law repeately...."

Vito sits on his ass saying this and that. Vito will wake up in a few weeks and realize he has no support and no petitions.

617, except that he has an active petitioning campaign that is on the streets gathering signatures door to door.

Let's wait and see what he files.

When it comes to 'support', does El Sammak have any support inside the GOP?

El Sammak is on both republican and conservative petitions with Lee Zeldin.

LaBella will get El Sammacked by his competition while Quaglione sits on the sidelines once again

And where is Brian Fox? Alone in his lonely flat I guess. at least he finally had a chance to take down the notice for the Verrazzano Republicans' February 21st meeting one whole month after it was held.

Fox is sulking because the the GOP & Conservative Party Chairmen told him not to step on the 2022 campaigns, and get his and Liam's club to work for their candidates that aren't named Fox or paying very much to Liam.

Also making Fox grumpy are a few wonks that have mentioned to Fox and others inside the GOP and Conservative Party that Brian Fox didn't do as well as John Quaglione did against Brannan in the Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights election districts that are still in the newly redrawn 43rd Council District. In other words, Fox's best mostly Asian EDs from the 2021 election are out of the new district.

No republican since golden came as close as fox. A minor detail.

Does Foxy even work anymore?

Anonymous said...

240, you can't be any more minor in the details that you choose than to focus on EDs that are no longer in the district where Fox says that he wants to run. In the Bay Ridge and Dyker EDs that are still in the 43rd Concil District.

John Quaglione was a stronger candidate in 2017 than Fox was in 2021. Several Republican insiders are saying that just as surely as Fox lost in 2021, Quaglione would surely have won.

If Q was a stronger candidate how come he didnt come close?

Did Bob come close in 2017?

The data poster has got it right because I looked it up. Boss Brannan got more votes in Bay Ridge n Dyker Heights against Fox then he got against Quaglioney in 2017. Boss Brannan outran Eric Adams in the 43Rd Council District by 15 percentage points which means a good number of people voted for Kurtis Sliwa and Brannan. Boss Brannan is hard to kill

826. you have got to be kidding!

Everybody knows that John Quaglione came very close in 2017, and it would have been closer if Capano didn't run as a third party spoiler. Quaglione should have been the GOP candidate in 2021, because it's now clear that he would have won.

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING --- EXCEPT THEY ARE ALL MISSES" EDITION

THE VERRAZZANO REPUBLICAN CLUB ONLY HAS A NOTICE UP FOR ITS FEBRUARY 21ST MEETING AT THE SCHNITZEL HAUS.....

A DAY OR TWO BACK, BRIAN FOX TOOK DOWN THE SAME NOTICE FOR A FEBRUARY MEETING AT THE SCHNITZEL HAUS --- AT ABOUT NOON ON MONDAY, MARCH 21ST, FRED URBAN POSTED A NOTICE ON BRIAN FOX'S PERSONAL META-FB PAGE FOR A MARCH 21ST MEETING OF THE VERRAZZANO REPUBLICANS AT THE SCHNIZEL HAUS

This comedy of errors gave all of seven hours notice for the March Meeting of the Verrazzano Republicans.....

Brian Fox can't seem to get anything right --- and his personal history of screwups suggests that has always been the case.

We're sure that there is much more like this stuff, but Fox won't let anybody know all the places where he has been, or all the stuff that he might have done resulting in failures and screwups.

Anonymous said...

Gail, that's why Kassar and Ghorra decided that they needed to go with an adolescent as their candidate against Gounardes in order to avoid the personal histories of screwups and failures of a Brian Fox, a Mark Szuszkiewicz, or a Vito Bruno.

Anonymous said...

Also Gail, it's appropriate to call Karim Elsammak an adolescent, because the lad obviously hasn't completed all of his physical, cognitive and psychosocial growth.

Anonymous said...

There quaglione goes again blaming Capano for his loss...insiders saying capano would have more definitely won in 2021 over quaglione...just ask kassar..

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "JUST AS WE HAD SAID" EDiTION

THE KID, KARIM ELSAMMAK, HAS ALREADY FAILED TO PROVIDE A WEEKLY CRIME STATISTICS REPORT AND/OR MONTHLY ANALYSIS LIKE HE PROMISED AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THE STATE SENATE

There has been no CompStat report from Karim Elsammak since he posted the 3/7/2022 through 3/13/2022 report.... And we have yet to see any "monthly summary" or other analytics about the CompStat data from the young man.

MORE UPDATE & BACKFILL; ALONG WITH A QUERY: THE "THERE IS MORE INACTIVITY THAN USUAL --- OR WHY, ALL AT ONCE, ARE ALL OF THE USUAL DOGS NOT BARKING ?" EDITION

THERE WERE NOTICES AND THERE WERE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS THAT SAID THERE WAS GOING TO BE A MEETING MONDAY OF THE VERRAZZANO REPUBLICANS AT THE SCHNITZEL HAUS BAR/RESTAURANT --- THERE HAVE BEEN NOTICES FROM SOME GOP CANDIDATES THAT THEY ARE IN FULL CAMPAIGN MODE --- THE CAMP FOLLOWERS HAD BEEN POSTING ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE NEW GOP CANDIDATES --- THEN SUDDENLY "RADIO SILENCE" FROM THE CANDIDATES, THEIR SUPPORTERS, AND THE GOP CLUBS AND COUNTY ORGANIZATION (IN SOME CASES NOW >>> IT'S BEEN A WEEK OR TEN DAYS)


Who chained the dogs up & who was able to get this bunch of rabid creatures from hell to chill-lax this long ???

OR IS 2022 GOING TO BE ANOTHER OF THOSE GOOD OLD BROOKLYN GOP STEALTH CAMPAIGNS LIKE IN THE DAYS OF FRED PANTALEONE (AND DOES TED GHORRA EVEN KNOW WHO THAT IS) ?????

Where is Eaton and Capano????

Please, it should be "Where >>> ARE <<< Eaton and Capano????"

Craig Eaton is probably relaxing on a leather sofa in one of his several NY metro area residences or perhaps in Florida or Antigua. Mean while, Brian Fox is at the Off-Shore Diner eating melba toast because it's free. Eaton always wins in the end.

Anonymous said...

109, John Quaglione was not on the ballot on election night, so there is nothing that he could have lost, unless he had run for City Council instead of Brian Fox.

If Q had run instead of Fox, Q would have won certainly. The result would have been the same in both instances, Quaglione didn't lose, because he didn't run; and if Quaglione had run, he wouldn't have lost then either.

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "MORE PROOF THAT THE KARIM ELSAMMAK RUNNING FOR STATE SENATE IS A LIAR....." EDITION

THE IMMATURE KID TRIED TO BRAZEN IT OUT --- BUT INSTEAD, WE CAUGHT HIM LYING AGAIN..... THIS TIME ABOUT "KEEPING HIS PROMISE"

AT ABOUT 9:00 AM EARLIER TODAY --- THE MENDACIOUS YOUNGSTER POSTED THIS:
"... Good morning all. Here are the weekly NYPD crime stats as promised. We will keep an eye out for the updated end of month stats per the cities official site...."

TO BAD KID --- WHERE WE COME FROM THAT'S CALLED >>> "A DAY LATE AND A POUND SHORT..."

BEARDLESS BABY BOY, YOU WERE ALSO HOURS LATE ON THE DRAW --- BECAUSE WE HAD ALREADY BEAT YOU TO THE PUNCH AND CALLED YOU OUT ON IT, WHEN YOU TRIED SO LAMELY TO COVER IT UP WITH YOUR LATE POST.....


If you really are a jet pilot, flying on some ersatz Caribbean routes (which really must be doubted right now, based on all the other fibs that you have told); you won't be keeping that job for very long long >>> if you are as late on your scheduled arrival times, as you had been with posting the latest CompStat figures.

Now, there just might be a weasel's way out for the lad, let's see if the little whelp tries to take it. --- Something that would prove yet again that this little upstart Karim is not yet a man, with honor and manly virtue....

Galewyn Massey said...

FURTHER UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "IT'S NOT REALLY WHAT HE PROMISED" EDITION

KARIM ELSAMMAK PROMISED TO >>>POST<<< CRIME STATS WEEKLY --- SO FAR HE HAS NOT KEPT HIS PROMISE, AND HE IS TRYING TO WEASEL OUT OF IT --- THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS THAT KARIM MAKES EMPTY BOASTS JUST LIKE BRIAN FOX, AND THEN YOUNG MASTER ELSAMMAK FAILS TO DELIVER JUST LIKE BRIAN FOX


On March 10th, Kid Karim said this: "... I will post crime stats weekly and summarize them monthly....."; four dyas later, on March 14th, he posted this: "... Our weekly crime stats per the NYPD....."; and nine days after that, on March 23rd, he said this: "... Here are the weekly NYPD crime stats as promised....."

For those of you that are both math and word challenged, that is not three weekly postings of CompStat data by the kid like he said --- that is three postings in less than two weeks..... And so far Elsammek has provided no monthly summary at all.....
