In a statement issued after Donald Trump's comprehensive victory over Kamala Harris on Tuesday, Richards vowed to push back against any Trump Administration initiatives targeting immigrants and women's right to choose.
Make no mistake, The World's Borough will fight back against any attempt to systematically round up our immigrant neighbors - who make up half our population - and remove them from the communities they love.
Donald Trump has rooted his politics in racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and a complete disregard for the needs of everyday New Yorkers trying to get by and get ahead.
His values are antithetical to our own here in Queens, where we have turned the idea of America into a reality. I promise that The World's Borough will not be defeated in our defense of our values.
