Griffin Fossella, a Republican candidate for Staten Island's South Shore City Council seat, announced he will cease active campaigning while maintaining his name on the ballot. The decision follows challenges in balancing his private sector job and campaign obligations. Fossella expressed pride in his campaign's efforts to energize younger Republicans. He previously ran in a special election where he finished third, and the primary will still feature him alongside other candidates. His campaign was acknowledged by competitor Frank Morano, emphasizing the ongoing efforts to secure votes despite Fossella's withdrawal from active campaigning.
After careful reflection, I've decided that while my name will remain on the ballot, I will not actively campaign in the upcoming Republican primary for City Council.
While Griffin may be stepping back from active campaigning, we're not taking anything for granted - there's still a strong third candidate in the race.
