Here's a summary of 8 years service by Mr Kallos for NYC Council District 5 which includes Roosevelt Island and the Upper East Side.

During his final official visit to Roosevelt Island at the December 10 opening of The Girl Puzzle monument honoring journalist Nelly Bly, Mr Kallos remarked:

I am proud to represent Roosevelt Island. There is nothing like Roosevelt Island anywhere else in New York City let alone the planet...

Good hire. Every single solitary PreK seat on Roosevelt Island was thanks to Jesse's dogged persistence. I've got the scars to prove it.

I believe in term limits, even for me, and support @GovKathyHochul's proposal for term limits at the state level. 8 years has to be enough to get things done. https://t.co/yDptwaqjJS
