AG Letitia James endorses Antonio Reynoso in bid for NY-7 Congressional seat - QNS

"He is the most experienced in this race and therefore I thought it necessary for me to come out and endorse him. The Attorney General said Sunday that Reynoso will fight back against President Donald Trump's agenda and work for an economy that prioritizes the working class."

"Reynoso has received numerous endorsements from traditional progressive Democrats since launching his campaign at the end of the year, including from Velázquez herself in January. Council Member Shekar Krishnan, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, the New York Working Families Party and Make the Road Action have also endorsed the Reynoso's campaign."

"Valdez, meanwhile, has picked up endorsements from Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), with the race pitting traditional progressives against a DSA-backed candidate."

Antonio Reynoso, Brooklyn Borough President, is running to succeed veteran U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez in New York's 7th Congressional District after she announced her retirement following 33 years in office. State Attorney General Letitia James endorsed Reynoso, citing his experience and commitment to affordable housing. Reynoso faces competition from Assemblymember Claire Valdez and Council Member Julie Won. Reynoso has secured endorsements from progressive Democrats including Velázquez herself, Council Member Shekar Krishnan, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, the Working Families Party, and Make the Road Action. Valdez has received backing from Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America, positioning the race as traditional progressives versus DSA-backed candidates. Won entered the race in February without major endorsements but expressed confidence based on previous electoral success.
