Antonio Reynoso
A lifelong Brooklynite and former City Council member, Antonio Reynoso has held the borough’s top office since 2022. During his first term, he has prioritized public health equity, affordable housing and improving maternal health care — particularly in underserved neighborhoods.

His administration has provided asylum work authorization assistance, fought food insecurity, and directed millions of dollars in capital funding to community spaces and nonprofit organizations, along with $45 million dedicated specifically to maternal health care services for Brooklyn’s diverse communities.


Khari Edwards
Khari Edwards, who ran for Brooklyn Borough President in 2021, is back in the race with a platform focused on public safety, economic development and equitable community investment. A lifelong Brooklyn resident currently living in Crown Heights, Edwards is the son of immigrant parents and immigrated from Trinidad as a child.

With a 25-year career in public service, he has held leadership roles at Brookdale Hospital and Ayr Wellness, where he developed initiatives to expand healthcare access, promote job training, and address health disparities affecting more than 1.3 million Brooklynites. He also founded the It Starts Here program, which connects students with gun violence survivors and mobilizes community action to combat inequality.
