With two months to go until the Democratic primary, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards weighed in on the race to replace longtime western Queens Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan by endorsing progressive Maspeth native and community activist Juan Ardila in his campaign to represent Assembly District 37.

The district includes the neighborhoods of Long Island City, Sunnyside, Ridgewood, Woodside and Maspeth, which Nolan represented for 38 years before announcing she would retire at the end of the year.
