Leticia Remauro for SI Borough President/Facebook
The Staten Island borough president candidate who sparked an uproar by invoking Hitler faces competition from a decidedly lower-key fellow Republican — but there’s no Democratic challenger in sight.
Leticia Remauro, who has close ties to freshman U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island, Brooklyn), told THE CITY she expects to reap about $272,000 in private and public dollars in the fundraising cycle that ends Friday.
It’s not clear how her Dec. 2 comment — captured on video and revealed this week — declaring “Heil Hitler” while criticizing city sherrifs enforcing the indoor dining ban, will affect her fundraising prospects in the only borough to go for Donald Trump in the last two presidential elections.
