Danniel Maio has faith in the voters, but not in the system.

When I was knocked off the Republican line in May, I returned money back to contributors. Campaigning needs money, but I prefer to earn respect and votes.

I filed petitions for four third-party lines: We The People, Secure Border, Common Sense and Truth. And again, I was knocked off in June.

In all, six candidates on the Republican line and one Democrat, who did not have a June primary opponent, were knocked off the ballot this 2024 election cycle.

Defend good citizens, not reward wrong behaviors!

You paid taxes, and followed the law. Government wants more, yet those who cheat and steal get free pass(es). Are those elected protecting yours or their interests?

I ran for public office since 2001. Never won once. Yet, I persist… meeting one voter at a time and helping those however I could.

Legislation proposals: NY ID in digital wallet; term limit for state offices; redistricting be done by non-politicians; NYC real estate tax system; roommate laws; sublet in public housing; COVID; holdover court actions should not go beyond one year; cannibis/marijuana; migrants/shelters; school tuitions/medical bills; raise bottle deposits at 5 cents (1982) to 10 cents; coop/church board elections; a human to answer government phones; a down status map for city lights, streets, water, etc…

Public awareness campaigns: theft (business/personal); scams; dumpings; illegal noise/parking; bad neighbors/squatters; wellness in health and community; flooding spots and status of government remediation; how politicians participated/voted in an easy lookup method; pictures/videos of criminals and wanted suspects…
