Ferraro was born in New- burgh, N.Y., and grew up in an Italian-American family. She later moved to Forest Hills to live with her Queens husband, John Zaccaro, and worked as a teacher before deciding to go to law school.

  • Ferraro Dies; Was First Woman to Seek Vice Presidency for Major Party
    Ferraro dies; was first woman to seek vice presidency for major party BOSTON – Geraldine Ferraro, a lawyer and former congresswoman who in 1984 became the first woman to seek the vice presidency on a major political party ticket, died March 26 at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Ferraro was not only the first woman on a major party’s presidential ticket, she was the first Catholic Democrat to be nominated after abortion became a significant issue in political campaigns. A family representative said she had been suffering from a type of blood cancer known as multiple myeloma, which was first diagnosed in 1998. She was 75 years old. The Associated Press reported that a funeral Mass for Ferraro was to be celebrated March 31 at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in Manhattan. AP said attendance at the funeral would be limited to friends and family and that no press coverage would be permitted. Ferraro is survived by her husband of 51 years, John Zaccaro, and her children, Donna, John Jr. and Laura. From the first day of her campaign for vice president – as running mate of former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota – Ferraro was challenged about how she could be a “good Catholic” and vote as she did in support of legal abortion. Throughout the campaign, Ferraro was met by pro-life protesters and was regularly challenged for saying that, although she accepted church teaching that abortion is wrong, a range of political positions on the topic could be acceptable. In accepting the nomination for vice president July 19, 1984, at the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, Ferraro stressed family, fairness and hard work.

The meeting was held at the Bayswater Jewish Center in Far Rockaway. Transportation Committee Board Members present were Chris Tedesco and Steve Cooper. We did not have a Quorum. Representatives from NYC DOT (Al Silvestri and Erin Maciel) were present along with Department of Design and construction. Councilman Donovan Richards and Amanda Kernozek representative from Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder’s office were in attendance. Rick Horan from Queens Public Transit Committee also made a presentation on the QueensRail (QRL). The meeting started with an update regards the on-going transportation issues on the Rockaway Peninsula. The following issues were addressed: Beach 169th and Rockaway Point Boulevard traffic light: Despite thousands of complaints from residents and objections made from Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder the NYC DOT is continuing to re-establish the traffic light at Beach 169th Street. This light is within one hundred yards of a previously existing light at Heinzelman Road and in the past was the root cause for traffic backlogs on the Bridge. Beach Channel Drive (BCD) Closure between Bch 108th Street and the Rockaway Freeway: The NYC DOT reported that work was about to start and that the project would be completed by the Memorial Day weekend. Downtown Far Rockaway: The project is estimated to cost between $24M-$25M and would start in 2017 and end in 2019.

  • Cross River Bank Demonstrates Key Growth, Makes Significant Personnel Hires
    Cross River Bank Demonstrates Key Growth, Makes Significant Personnel Hires Ft. Lee, NJ (April 9) _ As Cross River Bank approaches its 10th anniversary, the leader in the emerging FinTech market is demonstrating a surge in growth and surpassing significant milestones as it grows its customer base, offerings and strategic partnerships designed to revolutionize the banking infrastructure. In 2017, it saw several noteworthy achievements and entered into new strategic partnerships that strengthened its position as an innovator and trendsetter in Fintech. At the same time, Cross River was recognized last month by American Banker as one of 20 “Best Fintechs to Work For,” which is a significant reason why it has been able to double its work force – to more than 200 employees – over the past two years. “Our mission is to enable our clients to deliver responsible financial solutions that empower consumers anytime, everywhere. Our multidimensional growth demonstrates we’re executing on our mission,” said CEO Gilles Gade. “The common view is that FinTech represents technology at the service of finance, or “tech” at the service of “fin.” However, at Cross River, we’re reinventing FinTech and flipping the narrative in the process. We’re putting “fin” at the service of “tech.” Among Cross River’s financial achievements: • Equity surpassed $100 million in September 2017. • Marketplace Lending (MPL) platform exceeded $500 million in monthly origination volumes for the first time in July 2017. • Total MPL loan originations surpassed the $10 billion mark in October 2017. • MPL loan originations totaled $5.6 billion in 2017 alone providing access to credit to with over 2 million consumers.

With a female vice president in office, has media gender-bias left the presidential campaign trail? The short answer is no, and the reason why is deep rooted. Abstract An examination of treatment in the media of female vice presidential candidates—Geraldine Ferraro (1984), Sarah Palin (2008) and Kamala Harris (2020)—surfaces a trend of gender bias perpetuated by subtly sexist language in all three campaigns.
