In 2018, Staten Island native Lorie Honor introduced former Rep. Max Rose, then a first-time Democratic candidate for Congress, to communities across Staten Island. She fundraised for his campaign as his director of community outreach and helped build the volunteer base that eventually led to Rose’s upset victory. Progressive grassroots groups, including the one Honor helped co-found, Staten Island Women Who March, are considered by local Democrats as being instrumental to Rose flipping the Republican-held seat. (Rose lost the seat to Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis last year.)
Now, equipped with the experience of running a successful grassroots campaign for a novice candidate, Honor is trying to replicate the feat herself: she is running for Staten Island borough president, a position no woman has ever held – and no Democrat has either since 1989.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Recently reconnected with friends from St. Joseph Hill Academy, I’ve been thinking a lot about that time in the mid-1980s. It was a world of saddle shoes and postman blue uniforms, nuns and structure under the solid leadership of the late Sr. M. Charlotte Gulban and life on the road with the forensics team and our coaches, the late Sr. M. Raimonde Bartus and Mrs. Mary Jane Truckenbrodt.
Forensics is public speaking reading prose or poetry, writing and delivering original speeches, performing extemporaneously on absolutely anything and becoming experts in current events to competently debate anyone.
