#NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa wants AOC’s help on Bronx cleanup

It’d be the crossover event of the season.

New York GOP mayoral hopeful Curtis Sliwa wants to team up with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-NY), to clean up a stretch of East Tremont Avenue which lies in the Bronx portion of her Congressional district.

Sliwa sent AOC a letter last week, pitching the joint cleanup effort in Parkchester.

“To bring greater awareness to environmental protectionism and to promote more city-wide public service, I hope you can join me in picking up trash and removing garbage from this polluted location site in the Bronx,” Sliwa wrote in the letter.

“While we are a politically unlikely duo, this bipartisan invitation reflects the important message that all New Yorkers can come together to improve our City through public service — regardless of political affiliation. Everyone can — and should — play a role in protecting and cleaning up our environment,” he added.

The event is slated for Aug. 21 at 10 a.m, and will also include Scott Pressler, a Rapunzel-haired right wing community activist.

Team Sliwa said they haven’t heard back from AOC on the offer. Reps for her office did not respond to request for comment.
