Over this last weekend, there was a large event at the America First Warehouse in Long Island, NY. Attending this event was a gentleman named Philip Grillo. I noticed Grillo was walking around to make sure that everyone had met him and, if they could, vote for him on Tuesday. I was listening while he spoke to a few people, and then I was shown a flyer that his opponent was circulating.

Philip is a J6er who was put through the wringer while incarcerated and suffers from the trauma, as most still do today. When I saw the flyer that his opponent had laminated, stapled, or taped to poles all over the district, I had to find out more. His opponent is the Queen’s County GOP Vice Chair, Robert Speranza. The flyer below shows Speranza as a police officer petting a dog and calling himself “Pillar of Community” and “Republican”.

The opposite side of this laminated flyer is a close-up picture of Philip with a cigarette in his mouth, and it calls him J6 Junkie Rioter and RINO while also saying he “STILL LIVES WITH MOM,” as some people of a certain age do. Philip takes care of his aging mother. He is a Marine who swore an oath to defend our nation from threats both foreign and domestic. An oath he never put down or forgot. He’s also a father of three who wants a future for his children.

The picture of Speranza was taken decades ago, and the flyer shows the mindset of a desperate person who is more set on discrediting someone rather than standing on their own assets. It leaves you to wonder what Speranza has to offer.

Philip Sean Grillo is a lifelong registered Republican and Queens resident who’s shaking things up.

A fighter. A patriot. A die‑hard People First, America First candidate.

This Primary Day, Tuesday, June 23rd, he’s taking on the establishment RINOs, the same insiders who protect their own while Queens pays the price. His opponent? The Queen’s County GOP Vice Chairman and judicial delegate who nominates Democrats instead of Republicans, allowing Democrat judges and candidates to run unopposed. The establishment uses his opponent, Rob Sepranza, as a placeholder. He has run unsuccessfully 4 times and was removed from the Republican ballot 2 times, as a front to keep the same Democrat winning again and again.

That Democrat (currently the incumbent) voted to end life at birth and backed policies such as voting to remove terms like Mother & Father from all New York State Legislation & Lawmaking. A devastating blow to the parents of Queens and our way of life.
Philip Sean Grillo refuses to play along. He’s enraged the establishment by posting truths they don’t want VOTERS to know about, and they’ve attacked him for it. The establishment responded to his truth with PURE RAGE!

But He’s a FIGHTER, he won’t back down. He’s fighting for real education choices for our children, for public safety, Much Much lower utility bills, MTA accountability for the people of Queens who deserve better than illusions and party establishment deals.

Grillo tells me that out of 18 districts, there are only 2 that have Republican candidates because the GOP will not find candidates to run. No wonder conservatives receive no representation in these blue states. The GOP has its back turned and when there are candidates brave enough to run, they are turned ON by the GOP. Things that make you go…Hmmmmm.

So, if you are in the Douglaston, Whitestone, Bayside, Little Neck, Glen Oaks, Auburndale, North Shore Towers, Bellrose, Queens Village, Langdale, Deepdale, areas, please get out and vote for Philip Grillo for State Assemblyman.

This is a personal message from Philip’s website…

“I’m asking you to look past the noise, the labels, and the headlines, and look at the facts. Look at the issues that are hurting our families, our neighborhoods, and our state. Look at what’s actually happening in your daily life the cost of living, the safety of your community, the quality of your schools, the accountability of your government.

I’m not running to fall in line or to please insiders. I’m running because I refused to stay silent when the truth mattered, even when it came at a personal cost. I stood up when it would have been easier to sit down. I spoke out when it would have been safer to stay quiet. And I paid a price for it but I would do it again, because integrity has to mean something.

I’m asking for your support not because I’m perfect, but because I’m honest. Because I’ve lived the consequences of standing on principle. Because I know what it means to take a hit and keep moving forward. And because I will fight for you with that same resolve every single day.

New York needs leaders who answer to the people, not to political pressure. Leaders who make decisions based on truth, fairness, and the real issues facing our communities. If you believe in that kind of leadership, then I’m asking you to stand with me, and let’s take our state back together.”

If you are in District 26 and have yet to vote, remember that your voice is your vote and you have until Tuesday to be heard on who you’d like to represent you in your state assembly.
