BRONX TIMES R 42 EPORTER, JUNE 19-25, 2020 BTR
Everything you need to know for
the June 23 Democratic primary
from Page 20
cate and the director of the
Pelham Bay Home Improvement
& Safety Organization.
State Assembly
District 85
Areas: Soundview, Clason
Point, Longwood, and
Hunts Point
As Bronx Democratic
Chair Marcos Crespo announced
he would not seek
reelection to the 85th Assembly
district this year, a door
is open for two new coming
candidates — Kenny Burgos
and William Moore.
Moore has previously
ran for city council in 2017
on the Reform Party line,
losing to Ruben Diaz, Sr
also attempting to upset
Crespo for the 85th AD during
previous year in 2016.
His prior work experience
involves press and
speechwriting work for
many major NYC politicians,
such as Mayors David
Dinkins and Rudy Giuliani.
Meanwhile Burgos has
just turned 25-years-old and
is jumping into his fi rst major
election.
He has managed to secure
the endorsement of
Borough President Ruben
Diaz, Jr. and even poked
some fun at what has been
an unorthodox campaign.
This nicely sums up
campaigning in 2020. pic.
