Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, the real Republican in the race for mayor, was endorsed today by U.S Representative Dan Donovan. Donovan, who is in his second term representing the voters of Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn in Congress, served for 12 years as the Staten Island District Attorney and prior to that as deputy Borough President. Rep. Donovan called Assemblywoman Malliotakis, "the kind of common sense leader we desperately need in City Hall."

Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, joined by the son of a victim of the 1975 Fraunces Tavern bombing and the federal prosecutor who waged the first successful prosecution of the FALN, today renewed her call on Mayor Bill de Blasio to join the ever-growing number of corporate sponsors, elected officials, law enforcement and average New Yorkers who are boycotting this year's Puerto Rican Day Parade.
