Mayor Mike Spano basically has the support from both parties and most political insiders are predicting a landslide against Mario De Giorgio.

Mayor Spano may face a primary challenge from Ivy Reeves and Karen Beltran, but many city hall insiders wonder if either one can successfully collect the required number of signatures to get on the ballot

Universally, Yonkers politicians are predicting that the mayor has this third term race in the bag, as many city employees will start volunteering to collect signatures on his behalf tomorrow.

Sadly, the Republican party under the leadership of Chairman Justin Tubiolo has not been able to field a city wide candidate since Liam McLaughlin last won the City Council President’s seat

Worse yet the Republican have lost control of the city council and if another Republican seat is lost on Chairman Justin Tubiolo’s watch, the mayor and the democrats will have a super majority.

The New Yorker’s Richard Brody said, “There’s much to say about it; the simplest is that it’s both the most romantic of Westerns and the greatest American political movie,” and the Chicago Sun-Times’ Roger Ebert added, “There is a purity to the John Ford style. His composition is classical.”

PRESS RELEASE: The Global Engagement Summit is the largest annual gathering of UN supporters in the U.S., bringing together over 1,500 college students and other UNA-USA (United Nations Association of the United States) leaders to explore the vital mission and work of the UN. Eliot Engel delivered the keynote address in the General Assembly Hall at UN headquarters.

QUOTE: “I’m so happy to stand here before a future generation of public servants and thinkers—the people who will claim the mantle of leadership and carry on the work of building a safer, more prosperous world,” Eliot Engel said in his remarks. “I’m grateful for your commitment.”

Eliot Engel’s speech addressed the role the United States and UN play in addressing global challenges, with a particular focus on ending the crisis in Yemen.

“Even as the most powerful country in the world, we can accomplish a great deal more when we partner with other countries rather than go it alone,” Eliot Engel said. “By working together through the United Nations, the UN becomes a critical instrument in addressing some of our global challenges.

“If you’ve been tracking Congress’s work the last few weeks, you know the House just passed legislation that would dial back America’s involvement in the war in Yemen. This war is such a heartbreaking catastrophe. Every month, the UN’s World Food Program feeds more than 7.9 million Yemenis,” Eliot Engel said

“UNICEF is helping children cope with the unimaginable horrors of living in the midst of conflict. And UNHCR continues to build shelters and run community centers for displaced Yemenis. These efforts alone won’t resolve this crisis. But without the UN—backed by governments around the world that want to see a political solution to the violence in Yemen—these glimmers of light would surely go dark.”

Following the event, Eliot Engel met with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to discuss a host of international issues, including the critical need to address climate change.

Eliot Engel believes the U.S. should be the global leader in reducing carbon emissions and developing a green economy.

New York state senator introduces study to look at breaking state into Upstate and Downstate

Daphne Jordan, a Republican from upstate New York, wants a new state formed

Sen. Daphne Jordan is dividing the Empire State into two sides — literally. Jordan introduced a bill last week that would study the feasibility of breaking New York into two separate states: Upstate and Downstate.

New York would include all the five boroughs of New York City, as well us downstate areas such as Yonkers Mount Vernon and Long Island.

The rest of the state should be West New York.

The two regions have long been at odds with each other on many things — politically, economically and even football teams (Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets or Giants).
