"Brooklyn is one of the best places you can raise a family; it's where I'm raising my two sons with my wife, Iliana. But like everywhere else in New York City, affordability and childcare are major obstacles. Families can't keep up with the rent, and now childcare costs as much as it takes to put your kid through college. This year, with New Yorkers United for Childcare, we successfully advocated for $10 million in the city's budget for free childcare for 0-2-year-olds,"
"Rich with culture and community, the five boroughs are nothing short of diversity at its finest. This Hispanic Heritage Month, Brooklyn is celebrating with an extra kick. Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, the borough's first Latino person to hold the position, embraces his culture and heritage with pride. A proud Dominican American, lifelong Brooklynite, and father of two, Reynoso understands firsthand the challenges facing working-class communities-from skyrocketing rents and the childcare crisis to the need for safe and vibrant public spaces."
Antonio Reynoso is Brooklyn's first Latino Borough President, a proud Dominican American, lifelong Brooklynite, and father of two. He prioritizes affordability, expanded childcare, and safe, vibrant public spaces for working-class families. Brooklyn faces skyrocketing rents and childcare costs comparable to college tuition. Reynoso and New Yorkers United for Childcare secured $10 million for free childcare for 0–2-year-olds in the city budget while continuing to pursue universal childcare. He emphasizes the importance of third spaces—parks, libraries, cultural institutions—and warns that fewer such spaces leave youth congregating in streets after school.
