Antonio Reynoso has prioritized expanding and funding public health services in Brooklyn, directing significant capital to NYC Health + Hospitals and initiatives focused on maternal and women’s health, infrastructure upgrades, and community health centers. His actions emphasize strengthening public hospitals and increasing access to care through targeted local investments rather than proposing federal-level privatization or single-payer replacement.

Advocates for preserving Temporary Protected Status for vulnerable nationalities and coordinating city, state, and federal resources to serve asylum seekers.

Advocates for implementing New York State climate laws and expanding clean‑energy programs for Brooklyn communities.
Supports removing illegal guns from Brooklyn streets, addressing the flow of guns into the city, and investing in upstream solutions (mental health and social services) alongside public-safety measures rather than relying solely on more policing. Emphasizes both immediate public-safety actions to take guns off the street and longer-term investments to address root causes of gun violence.
Antonio Reynoso is in the news as a potential successor in New York’s 7th Congressional District race. The retiring representative, Nydia Velazquéz, is reported to prefer Reynoso as her successor, even as Democratic Socialist candidate Claire Valdez runs for the seat.
