Fernando Mateo is such a hero and a truly important pillar of NYC. Has more love for NYC in one pinky than most of our current monstrous politicians combined.
In the 90s he founded a training institute to train non-violent, first-time offenders coming out of Rikers Island in trades like plumbing and carpeting. He also started Toys for Guns and removed approx. 3,000 guns from NYC streets.
He has advocated for taxi drivers and bodega owners for like three decades now.
This man has really dedicated his life to making NYC better, whether it makes him popular or not. He is a true servant of the public.
We could have had him as Mayor!!! He ran last election. And he's not even a career politician; he made money running a business on the LES for decades.
But because he ran as a Republican, few people paid attention. So disheartening.

Nobody cared because he couldn’t even win the Republican nomination. He also believe Trump won the 2020 elections.

Do you really think Biden won? For the record I’m a democrat and didn’t nor would I ever vote for trump. I skipped the last election bc my nana passsed away two days prior and I was a shell of a man, literally shattered and didn’t leave my home for days to come. I did however watch the news, and I mean all the news. Not one party perspective . I was shocked, totally shocked. Moderators were refused entry in many democratic voting/counting rooms. Blatantly locked out. I never signed up for a mail in ballot yet one came, to my parents address that I haven’t resided in for over 20 years . Those are just off the top of my head. That man didn’t win, he was selected and propped up. Does he really look like he’s even in control , if anything ? The man can’t even control his faculty’s and is a walking, talking contradiction in need of a prevagen prescription
