Who is Sarah Blas?

Political leadership should be the highest form of public service, and I have spent years delivering material solutions for the North Shore. My track record demonstrates the ability to make a meaningful difference, and I am confident I can create an even greater impact if elected to City Council.


Staten Island is the place where I’ve raised my family, built my career, and fought for my city’s future. Navigating services for my children, my business, and myself has only deepened my belief that elected officials should prioritize the needs of the people they serve—not personal agendas.


I serve as founder, board member, and instructor for some of Staten Island’s most valued and respected organizations. My results have been recognized and awarded by the City Council, the Mayor’s Office, the New York State Legislature, and many more.


Learn more about my full track record of service below, and join me in realizing a more resilient Staten Island.
