Charles Belous (January 4, 1907 – July 13, 1966) was a Romanian-born[1] American attorney and politician who served as a City Fusion-American Laborite member of the New York City Council from 1938 to 1941, representing Queens. He later joined the Liberal and Democratic Parties[2] and served as Deputy Nassau County Attorney.[3]
After his election to the City Council in 1937, he wrote a personal thank-you note to the Daily Worker for their support in his campaign.[4] Three years later, he denounced the Communists involved with the ALP for trying to take over the party and make it a "front organization."[5]
Belous died on July 13, 1966 in Port Washington, New York at the age of 59.[6]
