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.

The legislation was passed by the City Council and was sponsored by Councilwoman Debi Rose (D-North Shore).
According to Rose, these four Staten Islanders deserve to be remembered because of all they have done for the community.
“These four Staten Islanders distinguished themselves by giving back to the community throughout their lives,” said Council Member Debi Rose, who introduced the legislation for these co-namings. “Each has left a rich legacy in our borough, a legacy that we now honor formally with a street sign that will permanently share the contributions of these individuals for all to see.”
