Republican activist and Republican candidate for the 44th City Council District Joseph Hayon, filed at the Board of Elections, Monday, the minimum amount needed to qualify for the City’s 6-1 matching funds.

According to Mr. Hayon’s campaign, the amount claimed this filing period as eligible for matching funds, $5,135.00, was filed by his treasurer Abraham Schwartz, who was Noach Dear’s treasurer in the past.

“I greatly appreciate the financial support I am receiving,” Mr. Hayon told YWN. “I pledge to work hard as the representative of the City Council 44th district, be a voice for the issues that concern its constituents, and be a model by always acting with integrity.”

Joseph Hayon is challenging Councilman David Greenfield, who has also received the backing of the Brooklyn Conservative Party.
