“Being a member and chairing the listed committees will allow me to better serve the communities who elected me to represent them. Thank you to Speaker Adrienne Adams for your trust in me. I am honored to be the only Republican to receive a chairmanship of a committee,” Ariola said. “This proves what I’ve been saying all along—we must work with our colleagues across the aisle to ensure our residents receive all the resources they deserve. Congratulations to the members of the committee I chair as well as all of the other Council committees.”
