HON. CRAIG EATON ENDORSES JOE TIRONE JR. FOR THE 23RD SD
BROOKLYN, NY, August 12, 2022: Joe Tirone Jr., GOP candidate for State Senate in the 23rd Senate District, has received the endorsement of the Hon. Craig Eaton, the former Brooklyn GOP Chairman from 2007–2016 and the Vice Chairman of the NYS GOP for the NYC Region from 2013 to 2016.
“I have known Joe Tirone for many years, personal and professionally. He has built a successful business career right here in the streets of our district and has proven himself as a Republican Conservative leader," Eaton said. "As a small business owner and community leader, Joe intuitively understands the problems and challenges that the people of Brooklyn and Staten Island. He knows just how important it is for our law enforcement to have the tools they need to secure our streets and fight for a safer Brooklyn and Staten Island. "
Eaton also described Tirone, a real estate broker, as "a job creator who hasn't forgotten his humble start, and who will help restore the New York we know and love”. "Joe will work to create balance in the New York State Senate which is so desperately needed at this time. He will work hard and fight to ensure that we abolish the current one-party rule in Albany which has allowed the Democratic Party to destroy NYC and New York State to a point where there is no law and order, the criminals control the streets, and New Yorkers are fleeing in numbers we have not seen in decades. As an ethical businessman and dedicated family man, Joe exemplifies what Brooklyn and Staten Island are looking for in a Senator. I consider this a very winnable race, which is why I am strongly endorsing Joe Tirone for State Senate. I urge all Republicans in the 23rd Senate District to get out and vote for Joe Tirone for State Senate on August 23rd and to reach out to all of their friends, neighbors and family members to do the same.
Said Tirone: "I am proud and grateful to receive the endorsement of Chairman Eaton today. When I first ran for office in 2014, Craig Eaton was a trusted friend and advisor and one of my biggest supporters. I look forward to working with him on the pressing issues that matter most to the people of Brooklyn and Staten Island, including restoring law and order in NYC and New York State, reversing the Bail Reform Laws and Criminal Justice Laws which took the handcuffs off criminals and placed them on our amazing law enforcement, Judges and prosecutors, cutting regulations, lowing taxes, and restoring public safety and trust.”
Joe Tirone Jr. is a successful businessman, a proven Republican Conservative leader and a proud father to three daughters. Joe currently runs his own small business, The Joe Tirone Team, which helps middle-class people and first-time homebuyers live the American Dream. Joe is a member of the Staten Island Board of Realtors and NYSAR, was a recipient of the SIBOR Community Service Award, and received tri-state media recognition (NY1 News, SILive) for his response during COVID-19.
Tirone said “During Craig Eaton’s tenure as Chairman and Vice Chairman, the Republican party in Brooklyn saw historic wins including electing Republicans to Congress, the State Senate and State Assembly, having multiple Republican State Senators and members of Congress representing Brooklyn for the first time in decades. Craig is a proven leader and has dedicated decades of his life to serving his community, including serving as Chairman of Brooklyn Community Board 10 where he devoted substantial time to working on issues including Zoning, Police and Public Safety and sitting on numerous not for profit and philanthropic Boards where he works to make a difference. It is for this reason that I am honored to receive his endorsement in this race.”
