Now that U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez is officially stepping down from her seat representing the 7th congressional district in New York, starting a race stacked with local representatives all vying to fill her shoes, the Ridgewood Democratic Club (RDC) announced she will be speaking at their annual membership brunch honoring some local leaders for their years of service.
Originally planned for last weekend on Jan. 25, the event was postponed to the following week due to the severe snowstorm. Now, the brunch will take place at the RDC’s headquarters, located at 60-70 Putnam Ave., at 11 a.m. on Feb. 1 and is open to members for free and the public for a $30 admission fee.
