Brooklyn Borough President endorses Brad Lander in Democratic mayoral primary
Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso endorsed New York City Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander on Thursday as his top pick in the June primary election.
At a press conference at City Hall Park, the beep praised Lander’s progressive positions on issues like affordable housing and police reform and ability to bring “meaningful” change to New Yorkers.
Reynoso pointed to their close working relationship while they served on the City Council, where he said Lander empowered younger elected officials to take “big, bold” steps. They collaborated on a slew of issues, advocating for comprehensive city planning to improve land-use decisions, and in 2019, Lander supported Reynoso’s push to pass Local Law 199, designed to overhaul the commercial waste industry by establishing new safety standards for workers and reducing emissions from waste hauling vehicles.
“Every issue that we’ve worked on together, whether it’s affordable housing, police reform, transportation, Brad has been by my side,” Reynoso said.
