.@Reyna4NY, my running mate and Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, demonstrated in the first LG debate tonight that her experience and record is what sets her apart from her opponents. (1/4)

“A last name does not make you Latino. The first statewide Latino official should be ‘authentic,’ have ‘lived experience’ and a record of helping Latino communities…This is not about identity politics. This is about being truthful.”
Antonio Delgado’s explanation of his heritage created an opening for his opponents to scrutinize his claims of being Afro-Latino, putting a spotlight on issues of ethnicity and self-identity ahead of the June 28 primary for New York lieutenant governor. https://t.co/kIwTMcyD4n
“Successful?” @Reyna4NY and I are in Buffalo right now, @KathyHochul’s hometown. Multiple people were just shot and killed at an East Side @TopsMarkets supermarket. Hochul refuses to make fighting crime a priority. I will.
Democrats have to wake up to the fact that, if Hochul is the Democratic nominee, the GOP can win.
She is failing. She’s missing it on crime, ignoring the affordability crisis, she blew it on Brian Benjamin, and we still have the highest taxes in America. https://t.co/SIwVIG6utv
The key thing to remember about the legislation rammed through the state Legislature in Albany today is that it would have been unnecessary if those running the state had simply been more focused on finding an ethical candidate for Lt. Gov. than winning a Democratic primary.
“The question here is are we ready to win against the Republican candidate, the Republican ticket?" Reyna said. "We're giving them ammunition to be able to rip us apart as a party, as New Yorkers and provide more fear in the lives of New Yorkers."

There are two Democratic Latina candidates who earned their way onto the ballot, but that’s not good enough for Hochul? People are outraged and our Latino community will be marginalized if this happens.
.@GovKathyHochul pushing the legislature to change the law to replace her LG who was arrested and had to resign, with yet another handpicked LG candidate is a slap in the face to every Latino in the state of NY.

🌞Happy Saturday! @reyna4ny and I kicked off our day meeting New Yorkers at @JuniorsFlatbush. Next stop: Kings Arms Diner in Staten Island. See you there!
The HUB has been the backbone of the South Bronx’s economy. But disinvestment & oversaturation of state-licensed treatment centers has made the area ground zero for opioid use. TY, @Reyna4NY, for joining @ThirdAvenueBID & I to learn about the issues we regularly experience
When partners come together stuff gets done.
Special thank you to @Reyna4NY@CMSalamancaJr for touring the Bronx's busiest district today and sharing thoughts on how we can build on our momentum to move things forward and equitably address quality of life matters in the Bronx.
