González-Rojas picks up high-profile endorsements after officially launching campaign for Ramos’ Senate seat

Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas picked up a number of high-profile endorsements after officially launching her state Senate campaign in Jackson Heights Monday night as she looks to unseat incumbent State Sen. Jessica Ramos in the Democratic primary for Senate District 13 next year.

González-Rojas, who currently represents Assembly District 34 including parts of Elmhurst, Corona and Jackson Heights, which partially overlaps with Ramos’s Senate district, filed to run as a candidate in next year’s primary last week before officially launching her campaign with a fundraiser at the Queensboro at 80-02 Northern Blvd. on Monday night.
