QUEENS, NY – Costa Constantinides issued the following statement on coronavirus (COVID-19) and the state of the Queens Borough President race. He urged we remain calm, unified, and vigilant during these times:

“Public safety is my top priority. In order to protect the well-being of our team, our volunteers, and all Queens residents, effective immediately, our campaign has suspended all in-person canvassing and is transitioning our voter contact to calls, texts, and digital outreach in the interest of public health.

“To be clear, we are still running a campaign and encourage Queens residents to utilize early voting, which begins Saturday, to avoid a high volume of people on Election Day.

“If there is anything we can do to help you during this challenging time, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our website is www.VoteCosta.com, our email is [email protected]costa4queens.com, and our phone number is 347-494-0460. Thank you.”
