Pro-cop GOP mom of two looks to topple Democratic socialist Tiffany Caban in Queens

Left-wing “Defund the Police” Democratic Councilwoman Tiffany Caban is about to get a challenge for her Astoria, Queens seat — on the turf of fellow socialist ally Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Republican mom-of-two Kelly Klingman tells The Post she will seek Caban’s ouster at the ballot box on a crime-fighting agenda that would seek to increase NYPD funding and empower first responders while promoting education choices for parents — including more charter schools.

“I’m not a politician. I’m not doing this as a stepping stone.  But I’m tired of sitting on the sidelines,” Klingman, 44, the mom of 9-year-old twins, told The Post Monday.

“Public safety is my No. 1 issue. Education is No. 2.”

Klingman, who has lived in Astoria since before her twins were born in 2012, said she also wants to help small businesses in District 22  as well as solve New York’s vexing housing problems.

I wish her the best of luck, but I don't give her great odds.  It's still too early in the cycle of leftist-driven decay in NYC for GOP candidates to have more than a sliver of a chance of succeeding.
