Former DREAMer runs for re-election in New York

Catalina Cruz is running for re-election to New York State Assembly, District 39. Cruz was first elected in 2018, becoming the first former DREAMer elected to New York State Assembly and the third elected in the United States.

Cruz and her family illegally came to the U.S. from Colombia. Cruz lived in the U.S. illegally for 10 years before gaining citizenship after marrying her husband.

Cruz is against the travel ban and says she wants to “fight back against Trump’s hatred and dangerous policies.”

Cruz is endorsed by the Muslim Democratic Club of NY and Linda Sarsour. Linda Sarsour not only endorsed Cruz, but she also campaigned for Cruz and calls Cruz one of her favorite human beings.

Cruz will face Ramon Ramirez in the Democratic primary scheduled on June 23, 2020. There are no Republicans running for this seat.
