Senator Rev. Diaz stated: “My fellow ministers and I are honored that Rob Astorino will join us at this breakfast to break bread together and share the various concerns that face our community with him. These issues include help for senior citizens, affordable housing, job opportunities, education, and family values. In our rich tradition, my fellow pastors and I will continue to welcome candidates to the Bronx to hear how they intend to serve us when they are elected to public office.”
