NY-07: WFP endorses Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso (D) in Congressional race

The New York Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso in the race to succeed outgoing U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez in New York’s 7th Congressional District.

Reynoso is running against Assembly Member Claire Valdez and Council Member Julie Won to succeed Velázquez, who announced late last year that she would not seek re-election after 33 years in office.

The district, which straddles north Brooklyn and western Queens, is one of the most liberal congressional districts in the country, pitting three progressive candidates against each other ahead of the Democratic primary in June.

Reynoso, who scooped an endorsement from Velázquez in January, picked up the WFP endorsement on Monday, with the WFP describing the Brooklyn Borough President as the “best candidate” to represent working families.
