Council Member Francisco Moya—lifelong resident, fierce advocate for immigrant rights, and outgoing representative of District 21—has officially endorsed Yanna Henriquez to succeed him in the New York City Council.

“I’ve known and worked with Yanna to improve our community for over 25 years,” said Moya. “She has the integrity, vision, and courage our community deserves. I know that in office, she will fight for the district just as I have — prioritizing quality of life, education and affordable housing. I am proud to support her to ensure our diverse and vibrant community continues to be strongly represented.”

For Yanna, this endorsement is both personal and profound.

“Francisco Moya has been a trailblazer and champion for our communities,” said Yanna. “I’m incredibly honored to have his support and trust. Together, we will continue the fight for affordable housing, quality schools, and economic opportunity for all.”

District 21, which includes Corona, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Lefrak City, is one of the most diverse communities in New York City. Its majority Latino population represents a rich mix of Dominican, Ecuadorian, Colombian, and Mexican heritage, making it a cornerstone of Queens' cultural identity and economic vitality.

Yanna Henriquez is running for City Council to ensure every voice in this community is not only heard but truly represented. Her life’s work—from tenant advocacy to youth empowerment—reflects a deep commitment to the working-class families who make this district home.

Council Member Moya’s endorsement marks a defining moment in the campaign, affirming Yanna as the trusted leader to carry the district forward.
