Staten Island no ha tenido un presidente municipal del Partido Demócrata en 32 años y nunca ha tenido un BP de color. César Vargas está tratando de acabar con ambas tendencias.
The borough president’s bully pulpit stands especially high in Staten Island, separated from the rest of New York by seawater, demographics and a Republican orientation that could be getting firmer.
It’s been nearly a month since New York started its ‘Cluster Action Initiative’ to contain the spread of coronavirus by instituting restrictions in specific hotspot neighborhoods. Will it keep a second wave at bay?

Brandon Patterson and Michael Tannousis are vying for an Assembly district that shares territory with the only competitive Congressional and Senate races on city ballots Nov. 3.
The Staten Island Congressional race has been about ideology and association (and who hates Bill de Blasio more) but not about what either candidate has proposed or achieved legislatively.
