Things change. It\u2019s not that big a deal,\u201d campaign spokesman David Neustadt told The Post. \u201cWe\u2019re neither the first nor last campaign to have staff changes in the course of a campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Insiders say that while Biaggi often talks big about progressive values, her office culture is anything but.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was very hyper. She screamed and yelled quite bit,\u201d said one former staffer. \u201cShe had a policy that nobody on staff could speak to her. Everyone had to go through the chief of staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The staffer described haranguing text messages past 2 AM and called Biaggi a \u201cgas-lighter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe always says be sure you\u2019re taking care of your mental health but working for her is the worst thing you can do for your mental health,\u201d the former staffer said.  <\/p>\n<p>Neustadt said that \u201cSenator Biaggi sets very high standards for herself and her staff because the work of her office serving the community is extremely important. Her staff has always had access to her and her Chief of Staff as appropriate.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Biaggi, who represents parts of The Bronx and Westchester, is running in a ferocious seven-way Democratic primary to replace Rep. Tom Suozzi. The Long Island pol is one of dozens of Dems who are calling it quits as the party faces the prospect of a wipeout in the November midterm elections. <\/p>\n<p>Biaggi is looking to corner the progressive lane and would likely be aligned with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and The Squad if elected. Her campaign has been endorsed by many of the city\u2019s top elected socialists including Rep. Jamaal Bowman, State Sen. Julia Salazar and State Sen. Jabari Brisport.  <\/p>\n<p>Despite surging crime in the Big Apple, Biaggi has opposed increasing police on city subways and supported the \u2018defund the police\u201d movement. She\u2019s received a chilly reception in Suozzi\u2019s moderate Long Island district and the retiring congressman has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pix11.com\/news\/politics\/pixonpolitics\/suozzi-doesnt-support-biaggis-bid-for-his-li-congressional-seat\/\">come out against<\/a> her. <\/p>\n<p>Progressive candidates often post eye-popping fundraising hauls, BUT Biaggi ha  found herself outgunned. In the first quarter of 2022, Biaggi\u2019s campaign raised $437,230 While it\u2019s far from chump change, it\u2019s also significantly less than the $550,235 hauled in by Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan and the $916,914 taken in by Robert Zimmerman, a PR executive.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
