Three debates were held for the open 87th Assembly District seat, and Sergeant John Perez was the winner hands down over his two opponents Nurse Karines Reyes and Farah Despeignes.
John Perez was a founder of 'We Stay Nos Quedamos', a community organization which fought redevelopment of the Melrose section of the Bronx in the 1990's that was proposed without community involvement.
Parkchester will be getting a new Metro North railroad station in the coming years, and developers are buying up blocks of land in the Parkchester area. Unlike his opponent Karines Reyes who has taken tens of thousands of dollars in donations from developers waiting to redevelop the area around the new Metro North station, John Perez will put the community first, not the developers as he has already done by organizing a community under 'We Stay Nos Quedamos'.
John Perez is endorsed by the largest Democratic Club in Parkchester - The Roslyn Johnson Democratic club, and is not on any other party line like his opponent Karines Reyes who has taken the Working Families Party line. John Perez is a real Democrat who is running on the Democratic Party line only.
John Perez is an exceptional leader with a proven track record who is a progressive and adaptable individual. He will Develop, implement, and coordinate all administrative and logistical operations in a highly professional manner.
John Perez has worked for City Councilman David Rosado, the Project Manager of the Bathgate Industrial Local Development Corporation, a founder of "We Stay Nos Quedamos', and an has had an 18 year decorated career in the United States Army achieving the position of Master Sergeant in record time. John Perez was also the top Recruiter in the Northeast area of the U.S. He will go up to Albany with every resident of the district in mind, and not just to only represent one union's views because their contract is up in December of this year.
Vote for John Perez for the 87th Assembly Seat.
