Grimm is Marko Kepi’s Campaign Chair
Yesterday, Marko Kepi held his announcement rally in a parking lot in Staten Island (See here). It was a beautiful day to have an outside party. Kepi threw his hat into the race for the Assembly seat that Nicole Malliotakis is vacating. Interestingly, former Congressman Michael Grimm is Marko Kepi’s campaign chair.
Shorefront News reported that Kepi had 500 people in attendance at his campaign launch.

Kepi must have been pleased with the turnout, as he shared this video on Twitter:

Rally videos – here and here– show a large party – like an Albanian wedding.
Kepi was very loyal to Marty Golden. Will Golden return the loyalty? This is something to ask because Nicole Malliotakis, Gerard Kassar and Fran are supporting the other guy, Michael Tannousis. Little is kwown about Tannousis, but Kassar worked with Marko in Golden’s office for many years.
Kepi’s website is here. Tannousis announced he was running in the Summer, but still hasn’t put up his website.
Hugs,
