  • Who is Danniel Maio?

    Who is Danniel Maio?

    I was an engineer (Westinghouse), paralegal (Epstein Becker & Green), restauranteur (Maio’s & Magic Ming), broker (Okada), cartographer (Identity Map), fashion industry analyst (Fashion Center/Garment District BID), and starting at the year of 9/11, a political candidate.

    I ran for State Assembly, Borough President, Comptroller, and State Senate since 2001, and lost every race.

    Having lived through decades of political chicanery and witnessed first hand how power corrupts, I want to give strength and voice to those who want to end it. Death of my mother last year moved up my schedule to resolve.

    Senator Addabbo and I started our political ambition at the same year with opposite results.

  • Senator Addabbo spent $100K to keep Maio off ballot.

    Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr. spent about $100,000 in legal fees to keep Danniel Maio off the Republican and independent lines.  See the June 16 Board of Elections Commissioners’ Meeting video at the 1:19 mark.

    First rule among politicians is to win the next (2028) election. In the case of Senator Addabbo, he replaced Serphin Maltese in 2008 after having served in the City Council for 8 years from 2001 until 2008.

    If I can deliver my message, I believe voters will give this Conservative candidate a win.
