Wrong phone number and wrong party

A Republican congressional hopeful on Staten Island sent out thousands of campaign mailers this month that listed the wrong phone number for a donation hotline, resulting in an unsuspecting Brooklyn woman getting bombarded with calls from potential supporters, the Daily News has learned.

(inset), an assemblywoman mounting a Republican bid to unseat Rep. Max Rose (D-N.Y.) in November, issued the mailers to voters in Rose’s Staten Island- and southern Brooklyn-spanning district.

But Malliotakis staffers evidently didn’t read over the copy carefully before sending the mailers to the printer because a phone number on the back didn’t lead to the assemblywoman’s campaign office.

Rather, the number’s connected to the work phone for Aine Chalmers, 26, an environmental engineer and registered Democrat who lives in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

Chalmers, who supported Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic presidential primaries and is active with a progressive advocacy group called Persist Brooklyn, said she has gotten more than 100 calls over the past two weeks, most from Malliotakis supporters looking to donate, but also some from people who were angry about the GOP solicitation notice.

“The first call I got was actually a voicemail that was like a really angry voicemail saying, ‘F—k you, you’re a racist, stop mailing me,’ ” Chalmers explained. “Obviously, I was very perplexed and I figured it was a mistaken call. But then I started getting a lot of phone calls.” Eventually, Chalmers realized the Malliotakis campaign had made a mistake after a persistent caller read her the number listed on the mailer, she said.

Rob Ryan, a spokesman for the Malliotakis campaign, said the the error happened because the mailhouse the campaign uses for political material had listed a phone number on the solicitation that it had on file from Malliotakis’ failed 2017 mayoral campaign.
