Tom Ognibene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Ognibene ran for mayor of New York City against incumbent Mayor Michael Bloomberg in the 2005 mayoral election. Ognibene, a conservative, sought to beat Bloomberg who has been labeled by some a "Republican In Name Only"[citation needed]. Ognibene ran on the Conservative Party ticket as he was unable to secure enough signatures for the Republican nomination.
Ognibene is a former Queens City Councilman (1992-2001) and Council minority leader who was endorsed by the leaders of the Queens County Republican Committee on February 10, 2005.
Ognibene graduated from C.W. Post College in 1966, served in the United States Army from 1967 to 1970 and graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 1974. He is a resident of Queens and has been married for 37 years to his wife Margaret, a former New York City junior high school teacher. He has two children, Guy and Eve.
On June 3, 2008, Ognibene was a candidate for the seat he occupied in a special election.
