“We are excited to have endorsed Jesus Gonzalez in this important special election,” said DFNYC President Josh Silverstein. “Jesus is a committed progressive activist and has worked for years to help improve his community. The members of Democracy for New York City are ready to help him win this race and represent the district up in Albany.”

I already endorsed Jesus Gonzalez awhile back. He is by far the best candidate in the race and his main opponent is a horrible, anti-choice, anti-LGBT candidate for Assembly named Rafael Espinal who is, in essence, a Republican-at-heart who just happens to be allied with the corrupt Brooklyn Party Boss Vito Lopez.

esus Gonzalez has received the endorsement of a wide range of Brooklyn activists, including Congresswoman Nydia Velasquez, Councilwoman Diana Reyna, Reform District Leader Lincoln Restler, Reform District Leader Chris Owens, and the New Kings Democrats. He has also been endorsed by 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, New York Communities for Change, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1500, New York/New Jersey Regional Joint Board, Workers United, Laundry, Distribution and Food Service Joint Board, Workers United, and the Communications Workers of America, Region 1.
