Cedarhurst NY– NY Assembly Candidate David Lobl announced key endorsements from four members of the New York State Assembly:
- Assemblymember Simcha Eichenstein from District 48, which covers most of Borough Park and part of Midwood, Brooklyn;
- Assemblymember Pheffer Amato representing the 23rd district, which includes portions of Queens including Ozone Park, Howard Beach, Lindenwood, Hamilton Beach, Broad Channel and Rockaway;
- Assemblymember Daniel Rosenthal who represents the 27th district, central and eastern Queens neighborhoods of Kew Gardens Hills, Pomonok, Electchester, and College Point, and parts of Kew Gardens, Richmond Hill, Briarwood, Forest Hills, and Whitestone;
- Former Assemblymember Phil Goldfeder from the 23rd district in Queens.
“Democrats are in control of all 3 branches of government, to impact policy and deliver resources in a real way, your elected representative needs to be part of a super majority conference. If you really care about delivering real results for your local neighborhoods, especially during these trying times as we face countless unprecedented challenges in Albany, David Lobl is uniquely qualified to navigate the halls of state government and as a majority member will be able to deliver results. Friends, on April 7th, send David Lobl to Albany to join us in this fight,” said Assemblymember Simcha Eichenstein.
“David Lobl has my full endorsement for the NYS. Assembly because I need a strong partner in the Majority next door. Working together, we will partner to help our constituents from having safer streets to being protected from another Super Storm Sandy. Having David as a partner in Albany would mean the South Shore of Long Island/Queens would be in the strongest shape it’s ever been,” stated Assemblymember Stacey Pheffer Amato.
“Today I am proud to endorse David Lobl for the NYS Assembly. With the rise in Anti-Semitic hate crimes and overall crime- I need a strong partner who will fight for our community in Albany. David has a stellar track record of delivering for Jewish communities across NYS from supporting Israel to funding for our Yeshivas. I have no doubt that serving with David in the Assembly majority will only strengthen our voice. His independent voice is very much needed in Albany. Please make sure you vote for him on April 7th,” remarked Assemblymember Dan Rosenthal.
“After serving 5 successful years in Albany, I understand what it takes to get things done and proud to endorse David Lobl for the New York State Assembly,” said former Assemblymember Phil Goldfeder. “David has the experience, relationships, and work ethic to actually deliver for the neighborhood and his pragmatic approach will ensure that our values are well represented. It is critically important that elected officials have more than a platform but rather a seat at the table where decisions are made, and David is the only candidate who will serve the Five Towns and every community he represents.”
“I’m running for the New York State Assembly because the health and safety of our families and our communities is my number one priority. From supporting our first responders and standing with law enforcement, to reducing our tax burden and investing in our children’s education, I have the experience and commitment the South Shore needs fighting for us in Albany,” stated David Lobl.
David Lobl is a leader in bringing government services and funding to communities. He has experience in the public and private sector, including advocating on behalf of individuals and families with developmental needs. Lobl was a trusted Senior Jewish Advisor to key elected officials, where he spearheaded and saw to fruition important policies including a first in the nation anti-BDS executive order, protection for houses or worship, a stronger New York-Israel relationship, and educational services. During Hurricane Sandy, David played an integral role in bringing State agencies and aid to many of the hardest hit communities.
The special election for the 20th Assembly District is Thursday, April 7th.
###
Lobl worked for Cuomo for years and did zilch for us. Anti semitism and yeshiva tuition are at all time highs. Please vote for Ari Brown who will fight for our yeshivas and against hate.
He WORKED for Cuomo. He didn’t do “zilch”…he actually helped save Hatzalah here among other things…
He did not have a vote as an Employee – he did learn to navigate Albany – and he can navigate through the MAJORITY as he WILL have a Vote as a member.
There are 107 Democrats in the Assembly vs 43 Republicans.
Fact is this has nothing to do with party affiliation – this has to do with getting a frum person that can help us – by being a part of the super majority.
Ari Brown is a great guy – however as a member of the super minority – he would unfortunately be irrelevant.
The Village of Cedarhurst needs him. We will lose two voices if Mr. Brown goes to Albany – one in the assembly and one in the village.
Bail reform passed the Assembly while Melissa Miller the republican represented the district.
Hate crimes happened while the republican represented the district.
Stop turning this to party politics and elect David Lobl Someone that WILL BE ABLE to deliver.
Lobl backs the Blue
Lobl is against cashless bail
Lobl ( as opposed to Brown) will actually have a seat at the table.
We are too smart to listen to the hype. DO THE RIGHT THING.
True We were never properly represented and we finally have a real opportunity.
Lobl is the same as Cuomo.
@5T Mailman How can you say that? He is a frum person with children in Darchei and TAG. He is running for the betterment of the Klal. Simchsa Eichenstein is a Chasid from Boro Park. Do you believe that the avg republican from LI has our interests more than the Democrat Simcha?
Cut the stupidity – we need David Lobl as we need a voice in the majority. To help us locally and to help us as a klal.
We need to be in the majority to have a real voice and bring money back to out neighborhood.
I urge you to learn the facts
How did he save Hatzalah exactly?? I never saw Hatzalah thank Cuomo or any politicians.
Also he created a massive chilul hashem working for Cuomo claiming cuomo’s opponent was an anti semite. Claims of anti semitism should never be used for politics.
How long has Lobl lived in the Five Towns for??
Ari Brown is a true fighter for the klal. He has fought to lower taxes and fight hate crimes. Why shouldn’t we vote for him?
Seems like we’re arguing against David himself. So tell us David:
What will you do to fight anti semitism?
What will you do to end cashless bail?
What will you do to lower yeshiva tuition?
Talk about the issues that matter to us rather than maligning Ari Brown.
5T Mailman, Why don’t we just say Lobl is the same as AOC, or maybe Rashid Tlaib.
While we’re at it, let’s tell people that Felder, Eichenstein and every other heimeshe public servant are all anti-semites because they put aside their natural Republican allegiances, and serve in the majority with the Democrats in order to do what’s best for the klal.
It’s sad that there are two frum people running for the same public office.
But even if Mr Brown was the best guy in the world for the job (and clearly many would say otherwise), he’s still running as a Republican and would be completely sidelined in Albany by serving in the minority.
Sending a republican to Albany in nothing more than nice accomplishment for “the party”, and it would make Blakeman look like star in the republican party.
But in terms of benefits for our community and the people of the district, it would just continue the status quo with zero funding and zero influence in Albany.
Let’s do what’s best for our community, instead of what just makes Blakeman look good.
Chevra Ignore all the nonsense and smoke…
There is a super majority in the Assembly 107-43 Democrats to Republicans.
We have an opportunity to elect a frum person to the majority. If the republicans were the majority we would be well advised to elect a republican.
Facts are that the republicans have no voice in the assembly. That is a FACT
A Darchei/TAG parent (like the poster of the last few comments) will serve us best.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS SHTUS!!!!!
With all respect what have Simcha, Dan and Stacey done for us? They voted for bail reform and yeshiva tuition costs a fortune and Albany has done nothing.
WHY??? Because democrats are beholden to the teachers unions and will side with them and not help our yeshivas!! We must vote for republicans
Lets use our brains and help ourselves for once
We need frum people in the majority
VOTE DAVID LOBL
@emes (or emef)
Simcha has a bill in committee – sponsored by the names you mentioned…..to reform the awful bail law and exclude hate crimes.
Melissa MIller the Republican and our Representative did not Sponsor
Dont say they do nothing!!!!!
https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/A2603
NY A02603
Includes all hate crimes as a qualifying offense for the purposes of a court’s determination to release the principal pending trial on the principal’s own recognizance or under non-monetary conditions, fix bail, or, where the defendant is charged with a qualifying offense which is a felony, the court may commit the principal to the custody of the sheriff.
Did Rosenthal and Amato vote for the initial bail reform law or not?? They all did …. Birds of a feather flock together
When did Lobl move to the five towns?
What did he accomplish working for Cuomo?
Why isnt Bruce Blakeman eliminating the County Tax at the pump. We can save 21 cents per gallon if he just eliminated it. It is that simple. That’s $3 savings per 15 gallon fill up.
Please call the office and ask Executive Blakeman to HELP us.
The same reason he supports Ari Brown. Ari Brown made Blakemans daughter the judge in the village with no experience. Never lived in Cedarhurst. We have so many qualified people in the village but Brown gave the job to Blakemans daughter. POLITICS
AGAIN!!!!!!!! STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s Bruce Blakeman’s wife, lol
@food It is not Blakemans daughter It is his girlfriend/wife
That isnt anything new….thanks to his wealthy former father in law, Pataki appointed Blakemans last wife to run the MTA and Blakeman to run the Port Authority.
This is the game this political hack knows very well.

So if you lived in Rashida Tlaib’s district, would you vote for her?
In the fall will you vote for the Kosher Guru who is running or James Sanders from Jamaica?
It’s kinda silly to compare Rashida Tlaib to a frum yid who lives in our community, with a family, kids in local yeshivas, etc.
If I lived in Rashida Talibs district that is 42% Arab , chances are I would be Arab and chances are I would vote for her. So Yes.
Seeing that I live in an area that is heavily Orthodox Jewish it turns out I am too so I am going to vote for the Orthodox Jew to the Majority.
I dont know what Kosher Guru is but it sounds like an oxymoron if there ever was one.
How did Lobl save Hatzalah exactly???
Only because one sends his kid to a frum yeshiva it doesn’t make him/her outstanding, responsible and qualified for this position…….
Dems ruined Manhattan – Blakeman has a son, and his wife is an attorney – as qualified as any at the Village Hall, if not more.
Former 5 Towns Jewish Council’s member
There’s a red wave coming in November and Ari Brown is the frum voters choice.
The Democrats think by nominating a frum Democrat we’d be fooled to vote like the Jews of boro park were to vote for eichenstein. I am still waiting for a Democrat Frum Jew to deliver something tangible. I am not holding my breath.
The Democrats have a supermajority that will end because we bring back the Republicans in Albany one at a time and a divided government will have to listen to all of its members including the frum five towns community.
Ari Brown stands for Torah values – supporting our yeshivas, standing up to anti semitism, and law and order.
Lobl worked for Cuomo who was anti semitic and hated klal yisroel. Lobl accomplished nothing other than getting votes for Cuomo but we in the Five Towns are not stupid.
We won’t vote for political hacks who want to make a career out of government. We will vote for those who support us and the Torah like Ari Brown! Vote red!!
There’s a reason every store on Central Avenue has a sign for Ari Brown. It’s because they know he will stand up for small businesses in Albany. He will cut taxes and red tape regulations imposed by the Democrats and he will also keep our streets free of crime. That is why Ari Brown is going to win by a landslide in two weeks!
Ari is the most corrupt politication this community has ever seen. It’s bizarre that he even thinks this is a good idea for him to run. Even if he manages to win this election, the spotlight directed on him wil unltimately uncover more and more dirt, and he’ll lose both of his positions. As a storeowner here for many years, I’ve seen him in action firsthand. When you’re in a position of power, it’s very easy think you’re invincible, but we’ve all seen what happens to elected officials like this in recent years (some of them close associates of Brown).
His signs are in my windows because he’s a bully and I can’t sacrifice my livelihood to make the right political statement, but he’s definitely not getting votes from many businessowners.
Spot on. Same reason the homes have his signs. Check to see how many of those homeowners have applied for variance and permits and how many of them plan to.
STOP!!!!!!!AGAIN!!!!!!!! STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
Chevra Ignore all the nonsense and smoke… This is not about anyone or any party.

Republicans are anti semitic and the yetzer hara????? That’s laughable. The DemocRATS want to destroy Israel!!!
Also how do you know the other poster is a TAG parent unless all the posters are Mr Lobl himself??
Ari is a proven leader – he has my family’s votes
Chevra please. Ari Brown is supported by the elected officials who support our community. People like Bruce Blakeman, Anthony Desposito, Donald Clavin and Howard Kopel.
Meanwhile his opponent is not endorsed by any one on Long Island. I don’t care about the NYC politicians. Why hasn’t Kathleen Rice or Todd Kaminsky endorsed Lobl?
Soif Davar Hakol NIshma.
dont forget also “soif ganav teluya”
Howard Kopel Shkoyach
https://maketheroadny.org/panel-oks-republican-drawn-map-for-new-nassau-districts/
The level that our community has gone down to-with all this loshon horah is so sad! How do people not feel bad taking about other fellow Jews like this on such an open forum?
“Ari Brown is supported by the elected officials who support our community. People like Bruce Blakeman, Anthony Desposito, Donald Clavin and Howard Kopel.”
This is funny. You may not know much about these people, but they all part of a close-knit gang who will scratch our back when we scratch theirs, but also turn on us on the drop of a dime.
There’s nothing positive about getting their endorsements, just like there wouldn’t be anything positive about getting endorsements from Kaminsky, Rice or anyone of that ilk.
These are people who work for themselves, not for the klal.
David is looking to partner with Felder, Eichenstein and others who work for the klal. It may not be important that he has their endorsement, but if he can do for our community what Eichenstein, Felder and other other frum representatives do for theirs (by running as a Democrat), then that’s a very good reason to support him. Whether we like it our not, having another Republican in Albany will just look nice for Blakeman and “the party”.
I heard Blakeman speak at Ari Brown’s fundraiser. He seemed to agree that Ari can’t reall have any impact in Albany as a member of the Republican minority, and he made the argument that we need to send Ari to Albany anyway so that we can try to “chip away” at the majority.
This is a definitely a very sound argument for voting Republican in the congressional elections (and I’m definitely on-board for that), but I was curoius whether this argument makes any sense for the NYS Assembly.
I looked online to see how the Assembly has historically been split, and I found a website with all of this information: https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_State_Assembly#Historical_party_control
Apparently, there hasn’t been a Republican majority in the Assembly since 1974. That’s 48 years!
Not only that, but the “split” has been around 70-30 for 30 to 40 years.
This kind of makes me wonder…. If Blakeman says we should vote for Ari to help grow the Republican minority. For how many decades would we need to continue to vote for a Assemblyman who will have no voice at all, in order to “flip” the 70-30 majority has existed in the NYS Assembly for almost a half century? Blakeman is a career politician who may be good for Nassau County.
But his nonsensical argument for sending a Republican resresentative to Albany serves on Blakeman’s “party interests”.
The state senate was Republican til like 2 years ago
Yes. Here are the stats on the NYS Senate: https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_State_Senate
It may be worthwhile to vote for a republican in the Senate. But with the new Senate district boundaries, there’s little hope of getting a republican in anymore (https://newyork.redistrictingandyou.org/?districtType=cd&propA=current_2012&propB=congress_latfor_20220202#%26map=11.49/40.6583/-73.7799)
