Political positions
Zoning
Reynoso is one of two council members[5] who initiated the controversial[6] plan to rezone Bushwick.
Criminal justice
Reynoso voted to support the eventual closure of Rikers Island and to expand New York's prison system through the controversial construction of new borough-based jails.[7] While the vote has been described as a path towards closing the infamous prison on Riker's Island, the measure does not actually guarantee the facility's closure.[8]
Brooklyn Borough President
In 2021, Reynoso was elected borough president of Brooklyn.[9]
In October 2022, Reynoso fired his deputy borough president, Diana Richardson, a former Crown Heights assemblywoman, following a string of staff and constituent complaints about her behavior, the Daily News reported.[10]
