John Perez Announces run for 32nd State Senate

This was a move many many in Bronx politics were speculating on since the fall out of then State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. and then Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda after the 2018 election. While Newly elected Councilman Ruben Diaz was then supporting Sepulveda to replace him in the state senate, Councilman Ruben Diaz (and Candidate for the 15th Congressional District) has now replaced Sepulveda with current 87th A.D. district Leader John Perez as his choice for the 32nd State Senate district.
