He has always had a mind of his own. He joined with Pedro Espada, Hiram Monserrate, and Carl Kruger to form the 4 Amigos. He has hosted Republican candidates at his many functions, but word is that State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. is thinking hard about endorsing Rob Astorino for governor.
In City & State Gerson Borrero says that Diaz Sr. will be endorsing Astorino for governor, that is according to a credible source. I was unable to reach Sen. Diaz Sr. at the time of this posting, but will keep trying and update this when I do.
UPDATE:
After speaking to Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. Monday, the good senator told me that the story is only speculation by Mr. Gerson Borrero, and is not true. Diaz Sr. continued that he has only invited Republican candidate Rob Astorino to speak before the New York Hispanic Clergy Organization.
