Republican Michael Tannousis, whose parents have roots in Cyprus, has been re-elected to the New York State Assembly, holding his seat in Tuesday’s US midterm elections.
Tannousis beat Democrat Shpetim “Tim” Qorraj in the 64th Assembly District, which covers Staten Island’s East Shore and parts of southern Brooklyn.
Former Democratic Rally (DISY) parliament member Marios Mavrides described the re-election in a social media post as a significant success, given the heavy losses Republicans suffered in the midterms.
According to Mavrides, Tannousis is the son of Antonakis Tannousis, from Agia Marina Skyllouras, and Katina Mavridou, from Karpasia, with family roots in Petra, Solea.
