NEW YORK – A fundraiser in support of Michael Tannousis, candidate for New York State Assembly will be held on Tuesday, August 18, 7:30-9:30 PM, at the Annadale Terrace Rooftop, 801 Annadale Road in Staten Island.

The event is hosted by Paul DiGiacomo – President of the Detectives’ Endowment Association, Hon. Matthew Mirones, Gus Tropaitis, Stavros Bakoussis, Jim Sidiropoulos, George Drogaris, Mark Fonte, Manny Ortega, and Mario Gallucci.

BBQ will be prepared by Chef Stavros Bakoussis.

Tannousis is a lifelong Staten Islander, and the son of Greek immigrants who came to America to seek a better life after being displaced by armed conflict in Cyprus. He attended Monsignor Farrell High School and earned an undergraduate degree from SUNY Binghamton and his Juris Doctor from Pace Law School.

Tannousis began his career in public service in 2006 when he was hired as an aide to then-Minority Leader James Oddo. While there, he learned the gold standard in constituent services and helped many residents that came seeking assistance whether it was filling a pothole, getting storm drains cleaned, or fixing an issue with a property tax bill. Tannousis saw firsthand what government could and should look like when it works for the people it is supposed to serve. During much of this time, he was going to law school in addition to working and after becoming a lawyer fulfilled a long-held dream of becoming a prosecutor.
