NYC-CC21: Council Member Moya (D) endorses Yanna Henriquez (D) to succeed him in District 21
Outgoing Council Member Francisco Moya has endorsed Yanna Henriquez for his soon-to-be vacant seat in Council District 21.
Henriquez, a district leader for the Queens County Democratic Party and chief program officer at Dominico-American Society of Queens, is one of four candidates in the race for the District 21 seat competing in the Democratic primary on June 24.
Henriquez is competing against Adrienne Adams staffer Erycka Montoya and CB3 member Shanel Thomas-Henry in the race to replace the term-limited Moya. David Aiken, a union member and electrician who unsuccessfully challenged Moya for the seat in 2021, is also contesting the Democratic primary.
Moya said he is “proud” to support Henriquez in the race for the 21st Council District, which encompasses East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, LeFrak City and Corona. He touts her lived experience in the district and states that she has the “vision” that the local community deserves.
