SPOTLIGHT ON: NEW YORK CITY REPUBLICANS

The City Hall Library collection features biographies of prominent Republicans such as Pataki, the autobiography of Governor George Pataki; Representative Mom by Susan Molinari, former Congressional representative from Staten Island. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani describes his philosophy of management and life in the best-selling Leadership. Did you know he also produced a children’s book? What Will You Be? is about the importance of setting and working towards goals. Learn more about the Lindsay years of Fun City with The Ungovernable City by Vincent J. Cannato. The current Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has published the story of his life and success in business: Bloomberg by Bloomberg.

Fiorello H. LaGuardia and the Making of Modern New York by Thomas Kessner; Life with Fiorello by Ernest Cuneo and LaGuardia: A Fighter Against His Times 1882-1933 by Arthur Mann are three of the books that offer background on the “Little Flower.” LaGuardia was a Republican who successfully ran for Mayor of New York on a Fusion party ticket.

Don't forget Theodore Roosevelt, "TR," who eventually became President of the United States. H. Paul Jeffers chronicles TR's days as NY City Police Commissioner in Commissioner Roosevelt: the Story of Theodore Roosevelt and the New York City Police, 1895-1897. Governor Theodore Roosevelt: The Albany Apprenticeship, 1898-1900, offers an analysis of TR's years spent as governor of New York State. During his experience as governor, Roosevelt was able to formulate many of the crucial ideas and policies that served him well in his Presidency. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris covers the years 1858 to 1901, exploring TR's personal and political histories.
