The Bronx Democratic County Committee
Announces its Support for Attorney Luis Sepulveda in his bid for the New York State Assembly
The Bronx Democratic County Committee will support Luis Sepulveda for the 87th Assembly District. Sepulveda, a professor and attorney in the Bronx, has shown his commitment to Bronx residents through his outreach and pro bono efforts for the residents of Parkchester. An experienced educator, Sepulveda is a professor at Mercy College, teaching law-related courses including Business Law and Constitutional Law. He looks forward to being a strong advocate in Albany for enhanced public safety, education and access to better services for the residents of the 87th District.
“Luis Sepulveda has demonstrated his commitment to the Bronx and the residents he intends to serve through his advocacy and persistent presence on issues that matter. The Bronx Democratic Party welcomes him with open arms and we look forward to working strenuously to elect him” said Bronx Democratic Chairman Carl E. Heastie.
"I am humbled and honored to receive the endorsement of the Bronx Democratic County Committee," said Luis Sepulveda. "The Democratic Party of the Bronx is the driving force behind progressive change in this City and State. It is making a difference in the lives of the residents of the Bronx and the State; a movement of which I would be proud to be a part.”
"Luis Sepulveda has proven that he is a fighter for the people of the Bronx, and I am proud to support him in his quest to represent the 87th Assembly District. Luis has long been a friend and ally to me, and I know from my own experience that he will make us proud in Albany, just as he has through his years of service and advocacy for the people of the Bronx. I look forward to working to see him elected to the New York State Assembly, and to working with him on the many important issues that face our borough once he is elected," said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
"I have been impressed by Luis' tenacity and dedication in fighting for the needs of our community," said Council Member Annabel Palma. "I have no doubts that, given the opportunity, Luis will carry on this fight in Albany."
The Democratic primary election will be held in September.
