Christine Fontanelli (who also runs her campaign as "Cristina Fontanelli") advanced unopposed on the Republican line and also holds the "Save NYC Party" ballot line.[1]

Issue evidence — side by side
Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Christine (Cristina) Fontanelli has not completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey and has little independent news coverage; her positions come from her own campaign site, so researchDepth is 'basic'. No official record exists for her since she has not held office. Her biography is limited to her campaign website; no news profile or Ballotpedia survey was found.
