If Congress is going to ever be #ForThePeople, we must be accountable ONLY to the people. I’m proud to join @StopBigMoney in demanding we #EndCitizensUnited. Corporations aren't people, and it's time we made that clear. gothamgazette.com/opinion/83…

No!!!

This is the New York dream!! From Los Sures to the NBA! @AlvaradoJose15 LGK

A few months ago, a pretty conservative Democratic member of the Assembly asked me what was up with the primary against my Assemblywoman, Jo Anne Simon. He then said, "there's practically nothing I agree with her about, but she's a workhorse and she always does her homework. She's smart as a whip and diligent and thoughtful. She is always willing to sit down and explain her thoughts on difficult topics, and to be helpful to a colleague; and she's a genuinely good person who makes the Assembly a better place just by her presence." When that's what the people who don't like her politics say about your Assembly member, why would you look elsewhere? Over the years, I've sometimes disagreed with Jo Anne, but I've always respected her, and sometimes stood in awe, which I do not do easily or frequently. No one can doubt that Jo Anne's opponent, is full of good intentions, if little accomplishment, but she's seemingly incapable of a single independent thought outside the hard left handbook; even most of the hard lefty pros I know prefer Jo Anne's thoughtful, but sometimes critical, support to Lydia's slavish devotion to their catechism. And seriously, in AD 52, one is going to have to do better than bleating out pre-chewed left talking points like one of Animal Farm's trained sheep. In AD 52, we have a member of the Assembly capable of independent thought beyond litmus testing, who is actually capable of an original idea now and then, and who colleagues respect and actually stop and listen to; a member capable of grasping and dealing with her community's parochial concerns as well as the bigger picture; a member's whose absence might make a noticeable dent in the quality of a legislative body's work. Like many of us, from time to time, I can and do lovingly gripe and make jokes about the Lisa Simpson of the NYS legislature, but how can anyone in their right minds do anything but re-elect Jo Anne Simon?

Tonight, @ReynosoBrooklyn showed us the leader he will be. One who fights for us, not special interests, and always has working New Yorkers in mind. I am proud to stand with Antonio as he takes it across the finish line 💪

Antonio has so many progressive leaders behind him because we’ve fought alongside him on behalf of New Yorkers for years. Antonio will bring this big tent to Congress and fight for all of us.

I am proud to stand on my record. I delivered $45 million to public hospitals to combat the maternal health crisis. I helped save more than 100,000 jobs and outdoor dining. I reduced pollution in North Brooklyn. I kicked ICE off Rikers. I helped 6,000 immigrants get work authorization. I got arrested fighting for a fair contract alongside union members. And I am just getting started.

It is the honor of a lifetime to have these progressive champions by my side as I run for Congress in NY-7. Check them out in our latest ad, "Avengers."

Antonio doesn’t stop, and neither do I.  14 days. I’m fired up and ready to elect @ReynosoBrooklyn alongside some amazing, trailblazing progressive state and city leaders!

#NY07 🚨 United coalition of Hasidic voting blocs — including the two Satmar factions (Ahronim and Zalonim) — in Williamsburg endorse Antonio Reynoso in primary for Velázquez’s seat. Statements ⬇️ Reynoso, who grew up in South Williamsburg with the Hasidic community, told me he’s “deeply grateful” for relationship and the backing. More from his interview TK.

Happy Pride from Queens! I had so much fun celebrating the LGBTQ community in Queens today with @reynosobrooklyn, @tishjames, and so many more!

I don’t believe in incrementalism. That’s why I invested my entire budget into black maternal health, so that progress can actually be made. I’m ready to be the bold leadership we need to create real change in this country.

Thank you so much to the amazing volunteers who joined us for our Sunnyside day of action! We had so many union members along with @ReElectNydia and @voteshekar come out to show all the energy behind our campaign.

Out knocking doors in Queens this morning with @ReynosoBrooklyn, @ReElectNydia, @RagaForQueens and a whole army of union and immigrant rights organizers! Antonio is the fighter we need in Congress in this critical moment. Pa’lante! ✊🏾

Evelyn and Jonathan are out in the streets getting the vote out for @ReynosoBrooklyn! Antonio is the candidate fighting for working families in NYC and across the country. Vote Antonio Reynoso for Congress from June 13-21 or on June 23rd!

Voting for the ACA was one of my proudest days in Congress. Bruce Blakeman has spent over a decade trying to tear it down & strip health care from New Yorkers who need it. @KathyHochul is fighting to protect us, & that fight is on the ballot this Nov. bkreader.com/local-voices/ne…

Reynoso clearly the only one who actually listens to @sanbenito 💁🏻‍♀️🇵🇷

Antonio has already poured money into affordable housing for Brooklyn. In Congress, he’ll work to ensure all New Yorkers have a roof over their heads. He’s the champion we need to fix this housing crisis.

In one generation, @ReynosoBrooklyn went from a kid from Los Sures, Williamsburg on food stamps, living in Section 8 housing, to Brooklyn BP and now on the debate stage. He is the definition of the American Dream and will carry this tenacity to the halls of Capitol Hill.

.@ReynosoBrooklyn will build on the progress we've fought for together and take our movement even further in Congress. I'm proud to endorse Antonio as he steps up to lead the fight for working families, immigrants, and all New Yorkers in Washington.

Happy Dominican Mother’s Day! I was so happy to join my mother’s church today, along with @CuffhAction, @JenGutierrezNYC, and @ReElectNydia to celebrate and honor the incredible mothers in our community.
