John Ricottone is Running for NYS Assembly in District 47. Tired of Dirty Streets – Vote for Him!
It’s great to see that John Ricottone has thrown his hat in to run for the NYS Assembly for District 47.
I don’t know John Riccotone personally, but I have watched him help so many people – he likes helping people.
If you are disgusted with how 86th Street looks in Bensonhurst, so is John. He will have that area cleaned up and stay on top of it.
As the head of District 20’s Community Education Council, John has pushed for safety and improvements by writing resolutions. This year when parents voiced their concerns about lockdown drills, Riccotone’s resolution was to equip teachers and staff with a silent panic button.

John Riccotone helped PS 164 get funding. He helped setup a helmet giveaway for PS 247. He works fast because he is motivated to help families and schools.
Prior to being the President of the Community Education Council, Riccotone was Vice President and ran the meetings well. He made sure that all parents who wanted to speak were heard from.
When NYS cut the funding to afterschool programs, Riccotone and other members of Community Education Council led a protest. They are sick of money being cut towards programs for children and politicians not telling the community.
When people were complaining about a local vendor being rude, John didn’t write things on social media, he went out and talked with the guy. Riccotone is a retired police officer and he is used to talking to people.
Tired of politicians being owned by lobbyists? This guy is tired of all the nonsense in politics as well. He just wants a clean and safe community.
I wish John Riccotone was running for office in Bay Ridge. Brooklyn needs leaders who are focused on helping the community.
Hugs,
