Antonio Reynoso is running for reelection as Brooklyn Borough President, emphasizing a pro-housing, pro-education agenda. During his first term, he allocated his entire $45 million capital budget for fiscal year 2023 to maternal health care and initiated the Comprehensive Plan for Brooklyn, targeting systemic inequalities. Reynoso aims to diversify community boards by appointing younger and diverse members and is conscious of gentrification impacts. He stresses the importance of understanding how local developments affect the borough at large while advocating for more affordable housing developments, such as in Windsor Terrace.
"The people don't see the macro picture and that's why the Comprehensive Plan [for Brooklyn] is so valuable. It helps people understand the broader impact of local housing developments."
"Maybe we want a 30-year-old renter that rides a bike." Reynoso emphasizes the need for diverse community board representation, shifting the focus from older retirees.
