Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso used a Williamsburg press conference Monday to make Puerto Rico policy a central piece of his campaign for Congress, releasing a broad federal platform for the island alongside retiring U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez.
The plan gives Reynoso a new way to argue that he is best positioned to carry forward Velázquez’s legacy in New York’s 7th Congressional District, a heavily Democratic Brooklyn-and-Queens seat with deep Puerto Rican political roots.
