Curtis Sliwa backing Capano for City Council
Radio star caps off week of big endorsements
As the petitioning process began in the race for the Bay Ridge City Council seat, a flurry of endorsements came in for candidates, including Republican Bob Capano, who has won the support of WABC radio personality Curtis Sliwa.
Sliwa, who is the founder of the Guardian Angels citizen patrol group and the chairman of the New York State Reform party, said Capano is an impressive candidate.
“When we looked at all of the candidates for this race, one candidate stood out as not being part of the status quo political establishment — Bob Capano. Unlike many of the others, who have only collected a salary on the taxpayers’ dime, Bob works in the real world managing a business,” Sliwa said, referring to the fact that Capano is the manager of a Gristedes supermarket on the Upper East Side.
