Sergeant Gonzalo Duran On Fox & Friends

On my crusade to help the student Veteran homeless community, I learned how bad it is for many returning home and just wanting to start their new lives. My original mission was to help my fellow brothers and sisters in arms but it has changed to helping the country.

No diff between Trump Admin & the Bronx Machine  

On June 27th, Councilman Ritchie Torres said, “…Instead of choosing an expert in housing and urban planning, nepotism won…” when speaking of Lynne Patton’s possible appointment on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

I recently attended the New York State Knights of Columbus: A Taste of Guatemala event with fellow community members and Veterans. As a former recipient of their Humanitarian Award, for my work in helping the Veteran homeless population, it is always an honor to attend.

As the CEO of Devil Dog USA I have collaborated with local and national organizations to help our city agencies and government officials. From my service in the military to my work in both the public and private sectors,  this experience has given me many abilities that are needed in the council seat.

One of those traits is my leadership, which is a crucial factor missing in our city council. I believe having someone with this genuine characteristic will directly improve many the shortcomings that plague the 15th district.

Given the opportunity and my first-hand knowledge of the needs of our community, I have no doubt that with your support, the work we could accomplish would be incredible.

This includes learning how to break through the red tape of bureaucracy that prevents Veterans from getting the help they need. At the same time this work has brought the community closer with services available for all in need.

This has been done with my local community and organizations…

Why I would take a 50% pay cut for my City Council seat

Why I would take a 50% pay cut for my City Council seat

In early 2016 the base pay for City Council went from $112,000 to $148,500. Almost double the pay of a New York State Senator and includes benefits of additional stipends with joining committees.

Now this pay raise was decided on and voted by the council members themselves. What does this tell New Yorkers? That they truly have little respect for us.

While the average New Yorker is struggling to…
