Rivera Endorses Lander for Comptroller
State Senator Gustavo Rivera endorsed Brad Lander for New York City Comptroller during a visit to the Kingsbridge Social Club. Rivera praised Lander’s long-time advocacy for immigrant New Yorkers and support for small businesses.
“Brad stood with essential workers at Hunts Point when they were on strike demanding fair pay and he has supported Bronxites in the Bronx River fight against environmental racism,” said Rivera.
The city needs leaders who are committed to not leaving communities of color behind in the city’s recovery, Rivera said.
“Brad has the track record we need to ensure a more just economic recovery that truly addresses the challenges faced by New Yorkers and I am confident that he will hold our City accountable in accomplishing that goal,” he said.
