Henry was in Las Vegas, as a sponsor of WBC welterweight titleholder Mario Barrios who faced Ryan Garcia at the T Mobile Arena.     Thomas J.

  Antonio Reynoso Ad I am going to tell you why. His ads are everywhere and read what they say. FROM BROOKLYN FOR BROOKLYN. Every ad I see. Does this guy know that the district (NY7th) also represents Queens AKA Long Island City? I have not seen him once over here and he is campaigning to everyone in Brooklyn and not us here in LIC.  If he really represents all of us, he would be meeting with the Hunters Point Parks Conservancy, The LIC Partnership and the Hunters Point Civic Association, which I am a member of. Instead all his ads are for Brooklyn. He expects Brooklyn to put him in office and could give a crap about LIC Queens.   THE CANDIDATES: Claire Valdez: A Democratic Socialist and current New York State Assembly Member. She has been endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).   Julie Won: A New York City Council Member representing western Queens. She launched her campaign in February 2026, po...
