Staten Island, NY -- The Staten Island Advance says: FOR PUBLIC ADVOCATE: ALEX ZABLOCKI.
Alex Zablocki, Republican candidate for Public Advocate, received the endorsement of the Staten Island Advance today. Describing Zablocki as an "independent, clear-thinking person", the Staten Island Advance urged readers to vote for Zablocki.
In their endorsement, the Advance says:
"Mr. Zablocki says he would use the office of public advocate exactly as it was intended — to develop and promote ideas to make New Yorkers’ lives better and to insure that city government serves the public as it’s supposed to."
"And Mr. Zablocki, who even at his age has six years experience working in various government offices, has more genuinely novel, good ideas than any three other candidates we’ve encountered this fall."
"As public advocate, he’d put representatives in each borough, to make the public advocate’s office more familiar and accessible and better able to serve as a liaison between people and City Hall. "
"He would also make better use of the office’s standing power to participate on all City Council committees and some city boards in order to protect the interests of ordinary people."
The Staten Island Advance also writes that Zablocki says "he's in the best position to focus exclusively on the public’s concern because he’s an outsider with no ties to special interests."
"I am proud and honored to have the endorsement of the Staten Island Advance, my hometown newspaper. While growing up on Staten Island, I saw my community change, sometimes for the better and sometimes not. I decided to go into public service to make a difference and make my borough a better place to live - and I have. The office of Public Advocate could be that voice for the outer boroughs and the communities often forgotten by City Hall. I am running to give us a voice and all people in the five boroughs who feel they don't have a seat at the table in City Hall. Most importantly, I have a plan to make this office work and take it in a new direction. I thank that Staten Island Advance for their support and will continue over the next few days engaging voters about our positive message for the future of New York City," Zablocki said.
The SI Advance is the second newspaper to endorse Zablocki's candidacy. Last week, The Wave, Rockaway's newspaper, endorsed Zablocki and said that they "like his energy and his ideas and we urge a vote for Zablocki."
Zablocki is 26 years old and the youngest candidate ever to run for Public Advocate. He is a lifelong Staten Island resident and currently resides in the Tottenville section, where he owns a home.
