Brooklyn Borough Prez Antonio Reynoso to run for Congress in NY-7, seeking to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez

Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso will run for U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez’ congressional seat, he announced Thursday.

Velázquez, a progressive who has represented parts of Brooklyn and Queens in New York’s 7th Congressional District for three decades, announced late last month that she will retire in 2026.
