Notable personal detailsAntonio Reynoso is an American politician and community organizer who has served as the 20th Borough President of Brooklyn since 2022. He previously represented New York City Council District 34 (parts of Williamsburg and Bushwick in Brooklyn and Ridgewood in Queens) from 2014 to 2021, including serving as Chair of the Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management. He has described growing up in the Los Sures section of Williamsburg in a Dominican immigrant family and later graduating from Le Moyne College.
Supports reforming tax policies to make them more equitable, opposing tax giveaways and abatements for large developers and seeking to fund expanded government programs and housing/health investments. Has sponsored or supported measures that protect nonprofits from unfair tax liabilities and has pushed for redirecting public funds toward services for working-class communities.
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.
Supports protecting immigrants and asylum seekers, expanding local assistance (legal help and work-authorization support), opposing ICE enforcement actions in Brooklyn, and providing housing/support for new arrivals. Advocates for preserving Temporary Protected Status for vulnerable nationalities and coordinating city, state, and federal resources to serve asylum seekers.
Supports unrestricted access to reproductive care and abortion, affirming a pro-choice position and committing to defend reproductive rights.
Supports transitioning away from fossil fuels and advancing aggressive climate targets, expanding renewable energy and public renewables, investing in solar and green jobs, and opposing fossil‑fuel infrastructure projects. 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.
