John Sabini has been a great state senator! As a volunteer for the Empire State Pride Agenda, I can say that he responded beautifully on the freedom of same-sex couples to marry, gender expression nondiscrimination act, and dignity for all students. He is for equality for all people regardless of ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender expression/identity, My husband and I have met with him and his staff in Albany and Jackson Heights. He is a very responsive politician, in the mold of Assemblymember Ivan Lafayette. We need a Democratic majority in the state senate to pass all three of these important bills and John Sabini has the commitment and experience to make that possible. Furthermore, he is a uniter, who brings people together, which is something very distinctive about politicians in this neighborhood. He is not running for the city council because he showed up for a fundraiser for Democratic District Leader Danny Dromm, who is running for city council. John Sabini appears to know that Danny Dromm, who is known by everyone in the neighborhood, is the best candidate for city council. Danny will be the first gay city council member from Queens.
