The Chief of staff to Councilwoman Velazquez stood in for the councilwoman who was at City Hall for the Albanian Independence celebration started by her predecessor former Councilman Mark Gjonaj. Jeffrey Laufer the Director of External Affairs at the Borough Presidents office stood in for Bronx Borough President Vanesa Gibson. Current 80th Assemblywoman and State Senator elect for the 34th District Nathalia Fernandez was on hand, along with Joe Reilly the President of the Carpenters Local 45 with his Vice-President Dave Caraballoso to hand out the turkeys.
