“In a city increasingly under attack by the federal government, we need new, fresh leadership committed to standing up for NYCHA/Affordable housing, the rights of immigrants and the vital creative sectors - all of which Andrea has done. Whether working with local tenant leaders to protect against rising seas, nurturing local arts programming at The Clemente Soto Vélez or advocating to protect the vanishing working class in the East Village, Andrea has shown up fearlessly. And this is exactly the courage we need in these unprecedented times to protect the city and community we love and call home.”

“During my two terms as President of Village Independent Democrats, I had the pleasure of working with Andrea to organize and execute multiple forums and initiatives. I continue to be in awe of her inclusive leadership style, passion for public service, and approach to problem-solving. Her lived experience as a daughter of immigrants and dedication to social justice make her a fierce advocate for equity. Her commitment to improving our city, coupled with her integrity and vision, make her an excellent candidate for City Council. If elected, I know that she will tirelessly champion policies that ensure fairness and opportunity for all New Yorkers, regardless of background or circumstance. I proudly support Andrea's candidacy for City Council.”

“Andrea stands out as the candidate that best recognizes District 2’s history, from advocating tirelessly for Latine arts and cultural programming as well as fighting for housing justice, to prioritizing the well-being of our seniors and organizing the highest census turnout in Lower Manhattan. Running for City Council is a natural extension of Andrea’s outstanding and consistent commitment to our community's values.”

“Collaborating with Andrea and the historic communities of the Lower East Side on large-scale public murals at The Clemente Soto Velez demonstrated her unwavering dedication to preserving the enduring legacy of Puerto Rican cultural institutions as hubs for artistic expression, education, and advocacy. I am confident that she will bring these values to the City Council, advocating for fairness, justice, and dignity for all New Yorkers.”

“I wholeheartedly endorse Andrea Gordillo for City Council for her commitment to fostering a meaningful cultural and spiritual practice of democracy in the Lower East Side (LES). With genuine care and effective leadership, Andrea is dedicated to centering the rich diversity of our neighborhoods. Her vision and dedication will undoubtedly guide us towards the healthy future we deserve."

“Andrea has always been a champion of the marginalized. Whether for housing rights, arts advocacy or public safety. She’s a bridge maker, not a bridge burner. She is not afraid to take charge and show folks how it’s done.”

“As the former Chairperson of Community Board 3 I couldn't have picked a better person to be my successor in the role. In that same light I endorse Andrea to be City Council Member representing Distict 2. In my time spent with her on the Board and after I left I know she will put the community first. She will listen to her constituents with an open mind. She is a fresh voice needed in the leadership of this city and this district.”

“Andrea represents the energy of our community; bringing it together for progress that will benefit everyone. While at Loisaida Inc., Andrea received me and other community members with enthusiasm facilitating cultural events. She understands what we need and what it takes to make it thrive.”
