Republican mayoral candidate Curtis
Leewa continues his campaign blitz. His
message focusing on public safety and
today he was on Staten Island. Entities
David Lamb reports.
Republican candidate Curtis Leewa who's
also the founder of Guardian Angels
which is a volunteer group that patrols
New York City to prevent crime. He gave
a conference earlier today addressing
what he believes is necessary. tell you
one thing has definitely resonated in
that we have preserved democracy. One
person, one vote, which is the basis of
our country. This election clearly has
put the shot callers, the billionaires,
the influencers, and the insiders on
notice. They're not going to choose who
gets elected by the people. The people
will choose. One person, one vote.
Democracy is fully alive. And that's
what's so exciting about this election.
and I'm the happy warrior.
>> Siwa also said that he's confident about
what he has been doing during his
campaign trail, saying that he visited
over 300 or about 350 neighborhoods
speaking to people during this entire
time.
>> One word, what Staten Island needs from
the next mayor or any mayor is love. We
are the forgotten burrow. We are always
thrown the garbage. Whether it's the
illegal alien shelters that I led along
with Curtis and a few others to fight
against and they shut them down. First
time in this country's history.
>> Would love Curtis to win, but
unfortunately we have to go for Cuomo.
Definitely not Mandami. His policies are
not realistic for New York City. We'll
never get free buses. That's New York
City's bread and butter.
>> Siwa has not slowed down, especially on
the eve of election day. Folks on Staten
Island shared their thoughts with NTD.
>> He's an old school New York. He's
worried about from New Yorkers and he's
from New York, so he supports us more
than anybody.
>> I just needed to get cleaner. Cleaner
and more like community centers for the
kids and stuff so they got somewhere to
hang out.
>> Uh affordable housing for sure. That we
definitely need that. Um I would like to
see cleaner streets if possible.
>> The roads. The roads. I'm a driver of
the roads. the community just more more
like down south hospitality in a sense
if that makes sense.
>> This might be specific to me but when it
comes to like driving like helping with
like you know um parking and stuff like
instead of like charge overcharging for
parking and I know they started the
congestion toll. I guess that helps with
the crowding.
>> Honestly, I don't really have any
opinions on them. If any of them can
actually do half the stuff they say
they're going to do then I'm down. But
other than that, no really
>> you need you need new. you need new
because it keeps it up to date. You
know, when you old, you have old stuff
with you. So,
>> I would like for them to focus on
keeping New York clean,
>> you know. Um, and the poverty is like
really big out here. Um,
taking care of the homeless people as
well.
>> Yeah, they need to do better right now.
The train stations, they're not doing
good. The bus stops, look, so much crime
be going on all over New York City, it's
not even funny. You know, they
definitely safety should definitely be
at utmost way more people in it.
>> You have 24 hours to get off the fence
and save your city.
