Williamsburg native Antonio Reynoso endorsed by Markowitz, Seddio, Stringer
Antonio Reynoso has picked up three endorsements from major borough and citywide political leaders in his quest to fill the seat of his former boss, current Councilmember Diana Reyna, who represents the 34th Council District.
Brooklyn Democratic Party Chairperson Frank Seddio, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer formally announced their endorsement of Reynoso on Wednesday, June 19. They join several citywide elected officials in supporting the Williamsburg native, who faces a surprise challenger in disgraced veteran politician Vito Lopez.
Lopez officially stated his intention to run for Reyna’s Council seat shortly before resigning his Assembly seat on May 20 of this year, following an ongoing ethics investigation into allegations that he sexually harassed several female staffers over several years.
