Background Information

Council Member Diana Reyna has represented the 34th Council District since November 2001. During this time, she has shown strong leadership on issues important to low- and middle-income families, such as education and youth services, affordable housing and senior services. Reyna has also worked hard to preserve and create quality jobs in the community, bringing economic development funding and assistance to local businesses.

During the fiscal crisis of the last few years, Reyna and her colleagues fought hard to protect low- and middle-income New Yorkers from the mayor's proposed budgets. She helped restore millions of dollars of funding for our schools, our seniors and our youth. She also worked tirelessly to ensure that funding for new affordable housing remained in the budget.

Despite the fiscal crisis, Reyna also obtained many new resources for the community. She protected $6 million in funding for a new day care center in Williamsburg, allocated more than $1 million for a new youth center in Bushwick, got $2.1 million for new computers at 21 schools and secured more than $2 million to restore Sternberg Park. She also helped stop the closure of Engine Company 252.

Reyna supports brownfield clean up and mixed-use development, including ample open green space. She is an advocate for reducing high concentrations of waste transfer stations and truck traffic in overburdened neighborhoods and is working with community groups to explore alternatives to truck transport of waste, such as rail, that would reduce the number of trucks and volume of waste on residential streets. She knows property tax burdens are a strain on homeowners and believes in rolling them back after the fiscal crisis is over.

Reyna was born and raised in Williamsburg and now lives in Bushwick with her husband, a sergeant in the New York City Police Department. Reyna is the first woman of Dominican descent elected to office in New York State. She attended the Transfiguration School in Williamsburg and Pace University in Pleasantville, New York.
