Nydia M Velázquez

If Congress is going to ever be #ForThePeople, we must be accountable ONLY to the people. I’m proud to join @StopBigMoney in demanding we #EndCitizensUnited. Corporations aren't people, and it's time we made that clear. gothamgazette.com/opinion/8360-r…

¡Qué espectacular! Via UPR Humacao @UPRHComunica Como antesala al Concierto de la Amistad del Festival Coral CANTAQUERA, el Coro de la UPR Humacao sorprendió a los visitantes de la Plaza Coso Viejo en España con un emotivo concierto desde los balcones de sus habitaciones. Dirigidos por el Prof. Germán Peña Haddock desde la plaza, sus voces llenaron el espacio de música entre Puerto Rico y España. 🇵🇷🎶🇪🇸 ¡Felicidades estudiantes!

On Thursday, Rep. Nydia Velázquez announced $2 million in funding for NYCHA to improve exterior security lighting at Borinquen Plaza II in Bushwick. One New Yorker celebrated by singing Got Your Money by rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard and Kelis.

I'm proud to stand with @ReElectNydia and New Yorkers to endorse @ReynosoBrooklyn for Congress. Antonio is a leader who has always fought for working families. As our next Congressman, he'll deliver for our communities in New York and across the nation.

Petitioning is underway! I’ll be all over the district this Saturday with an incredible group of progressive champions and volunteers. I’m ready to abolish ICE, tax the rich, end the genocide, and fully fund the social services we all rely on to thrive. But first I need your help to get on the ballot!

Adriano Espaillat is a bold, progressive leader who has always fought for New Yorkers. With so many Americans struggling under the Trump Admin, Adriano has remained committed to affordability and supporting small businesses. I am proud to endorse @EspaillatNY for Congress.

Antonio started his career organizing home based childcare providers with UFT & @nychange. Hotel workers @NYHTC, retail workers @RWDSU, cafeteria workers @unitehere100 have already endorsed @ReynosoBrooklyn. Organized labor is overwhelmingly endorsing his campaign for Congress.

I don’t have a horse in this race but the outrage at WFP’s endorsement here from the same crowd who loved WFP’s endorsement of Moreno in the AD-36 special, despite the circumstances being the same, is entertaining to watch. 🍿

"Antonio has the record of delivering for our communities,” Jasmine Gripper told me. “That put him head and shoulders above others, and got him the overwhelming majority of the vote.” nytimes.com/2026/02/23/nyr…

The @NYWFP is a progressive powerhouse, and I'm honored and humbled to have their endorsement for Congress. From my time as an organizer to my start in public office to Borough Hall, we've stood together for working families, and together, we will take our fight to Washington!

Being endorsed by @WorkingFamilies is deeply meaningful. It shows everyone that you are trusted to move us closer to a better future where working people come first. I’m incredibly proud that the @NYWFP is supporting @ReynosoBrooklyn, who is a true — and proven — champion.

Benito broke the mold of what a Super Bowl half time show looks like. This reimagining wasn’t just a love letter to Puerto Rico, it was a challenge to expand our vision. @ReElectNydia and I wrote this op-ed about how we must channel this momentum into empowering Puerto Rico to define its own destiny and finally pass the Puerto Rican Self-Determination Act.

@ReynosoBrooklyn My deepest condolences Antonio. Beautiful tribute, I hope you know how proud he was of you!

I buried my father yesterday. My dad was joy, pure and simple. I try to live by his example. Spreading love isn't just a lyric or slogan; it's a reminder of the responsibility we have to help lift each other, always. It didn't matter what room my father walked into, he would bring light into darkness. I don't think it was intentional; it's just who he was at his core. I don't want to be sad, because I want to celebrate him, but he's going to have to wait for that. I'm in his small country town in the Dominican Republic, where hundreds of people have come to pay respects. All with stories of his jokes and how he could never take anything seriously. Everyone fighting about who he was closest to, who loved him most.Everyone sad, but there were ripples of laughter all throughout, because all the memories were rooted in happiness and his foolishness. My father wasn't without struggle. He wasn't without feelings of sadness or anxiety. But in his stubborn way he masked it, always taught to suppress his emotions by culture and tradition. A lot of folks will never know the weight people carry. I just hope that his wasn't too heavy and that through time I helped lessen the load. Paying him back for the life he gave me, the peace he kept for me. Gracias papi, te amo. Tu hijo.

Parabéns Lucas pela sua vitória histórica! Mais uma prova de que nada é imposível.

I’m the proud son of immigrants. I’ve organized, legislated, and marched alongside my community. I’m running to take on Trump, ICE, and a rigged system to build a NY for all of us. We’ll tax the rich and make NY more affordable. Join our campaign: brianr4ny.com

🚨HOLY SHIT: Rep. Jonathan Jackson just HUMILIATED Trump with him standing behind him at the prayer breakfast: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and…suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis." WOW.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: what we’re witnessing through @badbunnypr is trully historic. Ignore it at your own risk, but you’ll be missing out on something special. As a musician I’m impressed by his achievements, and as a Puerto Rican I couldn’t be prouder.

If Kristi Noem is not fired or does not resign, House Democrats will begin impeachment proceedings against her. I’ve had enough of DHS's lack of accountability and reckless policies. Noem must face the consequences of her actions. newsweek.com/kristi-noem-im…
