Southeast Queens
lawmakers unite
behind Richards
BY BILL PARRY
The elected officials
of southeast Queens
have united to endorse
Councilman Donovan
Richards in the race for
Queens Borough President
ahead of the March
24 special election.
Richards colleagues
from all levels of government
praised him for his
work on affordable housing,
criminal justice reform,
public safety and
other issues affecting
Queens residents.
“In Queens we have
an opportunity to make
history by electing Donovan
Richards as our next
Borough President,”
Congressman Gregory
Meeks said.
Richards worked to
bring about the rezoning
of Far Rockaway and
secured $288 million in
investments toward its
revitalization. He also
addressed the decadesold
systematic issue of
flooding in southeast
Queens.
“The work Donovan
has done as a New York
City Council member to
revitalize Far Rockaway
and parts of southeast
Queens after Superstorm
Sandy illustrate his ability
to manage,” state Senator
Leroy Comrie said.
Richards, who
was was elected to the
City Council in 2013, is a
lifelong resident of southeast
Queens and the
Rockaways.
“Over the years I’ve
seen Donovan dedicate
his life to his community
and this borough he
calls home,” state Senator
James Sanders said.
“He took on a district
devastated by Sandy and
rebuilt it with affordable
housing and protection
from future storms
for years to come. He’s
worked to reform our
criminal justice system
and create a more transparent
police force all
while making sure neighborhoods
are safe.”
Assemblywoman Alicia
Hyndman conceded
her own campaign for
Queens Borough President
in December when
the Queens County Democratic
Party endorsed
Richards.
“When Queens wins,
we all win,” Hyndman
said. “This can only happen
if we place change
makers and servant leaders
in adequate positions
to do so. Having worked
alongside Donovan Richards,
I am confident he
will continue serving
all communities as the
next Queens Borough
President.”
Assemblyman Clyde
Vanel said Richards
championed criminal
justice reform for all New
Yorkers.
“In his position as
Chair of the Public Safety
Committee, Donovan
has held the police department
accountable
while improving community
relations to make us
safer,” he said.
Councilman I. Daneek
Miller’s familiarity with
Richard predated their
time in the political
arena.
“I’ve known Donovan
since he was a high
school student,” Miller
said. “I’ve watched him
grow as a man, husband,
and father. Most of all he
has become an effective
leader that I am proud
to serve with on the City
Council, fighting for equity
and justice in housing,
education, transportation
and public safety.”
Richards was honored
with the widespread support
of his colleagues in
government.
“Being born and
raised in southeast
Queens, it means so
much to have the support
of my colleagues who represent
where I grew up,”
Richards said. “We’ve
made so much progress
building new infrastructure,
creating affordable
housing, and making
our neighborhoods safer,
and I’m ready to continue
that hard work alongside
them. I look forward to
working together with
them to build a Queens
that works for everyone.”
