DEVOLDER SANTOS ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR CONGRESS


 

 

George Anthony Devolder Santos announced his candidacy for Congressional District 3 in Northeast Queens and Long Island, the seat currently occupied by Rep. Tom Suozzi (D).

Devolder Santos said, “America is under attack. This time the attack is from within. It’s coming from radical leftists who are trying to destroy our most basic traditions and the very foundations of our Constitutional Republic. They are demonizing the free market system and capitalism, working tirelessly to destroy the Bill of Rights and most of all trying to impose their will and misconception of what makes a free and fair society on all of us. I want to be the candidate who will represent all of the constituents in New York’s Third Congressional District.”

Born in Jackson Heights to immigrant parents, Devolder Santos grew up in a tight-knit Queens family. He attended Baruch College and graduated in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in economics and finance. Devolder Santos’ career is finance. He started his career at CitiGroup as an associate, where he quickly advanced to become associate asset manager in the real estate division of the firm. Soon after he was offered a position at a growing Turkish-based tech hospitality firm MetGlobal, where he led business development efforts growing the US presence of the firm. He is currently at LinkBridge Investors, where he quickly advanced to become one of the youngest vice presidents in the industry. He now leads the Americas region business development team.

His passion for helping others started from an early age. His mother founded an institution in Brazil, her native country, to help impoverished families providing non-perishable food monthly for well over 18 years. In the mid 1990s his mother and friends instituted a grassroots daily operation to distribute sandwiches around the Northeast Queens area to homeless individuals. Devolder Santos was a part of this effort from a young age. He also founded and ran a nonprofit 501(c)3 called Friends of Pets United (FOPU) from 2013 – 2018, an animal rescue and TNR (trap, neuter and release) organization.

The campaign’s key issues are immigration reform, our economy, specifically tax reform and balancing the budget, and veterans affairs. More specifically, federal government spending, federal taxes and regulation, border security, defending our Constitution, mental health, education, and the gang, MS13. “MS13 preys on our youth and George Anthony will make it his mission to use whatever resources are available to him to fight this serious problem and keep our streets safe,” Devolder Santos’ campaign said.
