As the termed-out Francisco Moya prepares to leave office in Council District 21, a slew of candidates have lined up to replace him in one of the most hotly-contested districts in the upcoming City Council elections. Erycka Montoya, a staffer for Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, has touted her “lived experience” in the local community as one of the chief drivers of her campaign for District 21.
Montoya said she was inspired to run for the City Council after the election of President Donald Trump last November, stating that the “entire city is under attack” from the Trump Administration, while District 21 is “feeling it in every way.”
