on 710 W.O.R. In for more today, here's Ken Rosado.

And very good to be with you on your Halloween Friday. She is a Republican New York City Councilwoman representing District 32, which includes Glendale, Woodhaven OZP, Howard Beach, Broad Channel and parts of Rockaway Peninsula, Queens. Previously, she was the chairwoman of the Queens Republican Party, and she's here to talk

about the mayor's race, and what a possible Mamdani mayoralty would mean to New York City.

We say, good morning.

Joanne Ariola, welcome to the Mark Simone Show.

Good morning, and thank you.

It's great to be here.

Good to have you on.

You know, whenever I have the

rare Republican council member on, I always say, ask, do you need like a giant bottle, like the

thousand bottle of tums to be on your desk to get through your day? Not at all. I'm used to fighting

the good fight. And I'm the minority leader at the New York City Council, and I work very well with my more moderate colleagues on the other side of the aisle. And we have been able to get things done. So, yes, we have days that are more challenging than others, but most days, we get things done.

But you know, you look at Mayor Adams. And as much as Mayor Adams is a Democrat for sure, but most days we get things done. But you know, you look at, you look at Mayor Adams, and as much as Mayor Adams is a Democrat

for sure, but Mayor Adams, because he was a police captain, there is an adult side of

Mayor Adams who, you know, when he did things, you kind of trusted him. He was a mayor.

When you have a guy like Zoran Mamdani potentially coming in as mayor,

what goes through your mind as a Republican on the city council?

Well, I think you make a good comparison. You say that Mayor Adams, who had government experience,

who was a police officer and came in and is, you know, is quite possibly

going to go down as the worst mayor, uh, and was the most corruption in his administration

of any mayor in the history of, of New York City. And then you, you have Zora and Mamdani,

who, you know, has even less experience.
