Richardson endorses Comptroller
Scott Stringer for mayor
By Nelson A. King
Brooklyn Assemblymember Diana C.
Richardson (WFP, D-Brooklyn) on Friday
announced that she was joining
Assemblymember Nick Perry (D-Brooklyn)
in endorsing New York City Comptroller,
Scott M. Stringer for mayor of
New York City.
In addition to their endorsements,
they announced they will be part of
a “Brooklyn for Stringer” coalition,
together with State Senators Julia Salazar
and Brian Kavanagh and Assemblymembers
Robert Carroll and Maritza
Davila, “that will organize voters
throughout the borough.”
Richardson serves the 43rd Assembly
District in Brooklyn, encompassing
Crown Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens,
Wingate and East Flatbush.
Perry represents the 58th Assembly
District in Brooklyn, including the
neighborhoods of East Flatbush, Canarsie
and Brownsville.
“New York City needs a mayor who
leads by example and walks the walk,”
Richardson said. “Scott Stringer doesn’t
just talk about affordable housing; he
fights for it and delivers.
“He doesn’t just tweet about criminal
justice issues; he’s divested our pension
dollars from the private prisons that
fuel mass incarceration,” she added.
“He doesn’t just theorize about the suffering
COVID has wrought; he’s lived
it, and he has a plan to build New York
back stronger.
“That’s the tenacity Comptroller
Stringer will bring to City Hall; and he’s
the fighter New Yorkers need standing
up for them,” Richardson continued.
“With enthusiasm, I endorse Scott
Stringer for mayor.”
Stringer described Richardson as
“a champion in Albany for Brooklyn’s
working families,” adding that he was
“proud to have her support.
“Assemblymember Richardson has
fought tirelessly to advance progressive
solutions in the Legislature and is a
passionate fighter for affordable housing,
criminal justice reform and economic
fairness,” he said.
“She led the charge to deliver a historic
rent package, and she didn’t back
down in the face of wealthy interests,”
Stringer continued. “Diana Richardson
is unafraid of the tough fights, and I’m
grateful to partner with her to build a
city for everyone.”
Richardson is the chair of the Legislative
Commission on Government
Administration, as well as a member of
the New York State Assembly standing
committees on Banks, Labor, Corporations,
Authorities and Commissions,
Mental Health, Small Business, Women’s
Legislative Caucus, Task Force on
Women’s Issues, and The Black, Puerto
Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative
Caucus.
