Brooklyn, NY – Martin Luther King Jr said: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments  of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Antonio Reynoso has  proven to be a man willing to stand and fight for those without a voice, less fortunate, overlooked, and downtrodden. He has shown that he is ready to take the right stand even when it is unpopular and uncomfortable. He is a champion for the minority and immigrant communities. Reynoso demonstrated his  measure as a leader, advocate, and champion for those in need when he left New York to go to the island of  Santo Domingo, which Haiti and the Dominican Republic share to show support and solidarity with Haitians  who were being mistreated and denied citizenship. 

Born to immigrant parents from the Dominican Republic, Antonio Reynoso, who considers himself a Caribbean  man, commenced his political career over a decade ago, backed with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He  knows how to engage with community members through his earlier experiences as a Community Organizer for  NYC ACORN, before joining Councilmember Diana Reyna as Chief of Staff in 2009. 

Listen to an interview with Antonio Reynoso on “Running for Brooklyn Borough President” below:

He considers himself progressive and promotes his candidacy based on his personal experiences as an offspring  of immigrants. His parents are immigrants who leveraged on policies in the society to raise him. His desire to  serve as the next Brooklyn Borough President is a way of paying forward. Reynoso says, “This is an  opportunity to give back to a community that has given him a lot. Here in Brooklyn, we succeed by never  giving up and never giving in. Right now, we need to be tough and pull together in the aftermath of COVID to finally address our affordable housing shortage, dismantle systemic racism, save our small businesses, fix our schools, and stop overdevelopment and gentrification. Brooklyn makes us all who we are, and together, we’ll  make Brooklyn stronger and fairer for everyone.” 

Reynoso is passionate and committed to continuing to make a difference in the lives of all Brooklynites. He understands our concerns – whether it’s providing Temporary Protective Status (TPS) assistance for  immigrants, quality health care, in particular mental and maternal health care, an equitable education system for our kids, job creation, and meaningful support for small business owners and budding entrepreneurs. 

Reynoso is dedicated and ready to work hard from day one and every single day as Brooklyn’s next Borough President. We are proud to endorse him and ask that you vote for him as your candidate of choice during this  election.
