Johanna Carmona’s office sent the following announcement regarding her candidacy for the Assembly.
Johanna Carmona for Assembly
A Sunnyside resident, who grew up across from Noonan Playground and now lives on 41st, Johanna Carmona knows every block in our community. Johanna went to Queen of Angels in Sunnyside, got an excellent education right here in New York City, became a lawyer and worked in the District Attorney's office dealing with special victims, including children. She went to work in law firms that have helped 9/11 first responders, workers, and survivors. Johanna further pursued innovative litigation against sexual predators.
Taking on difficult cases takes the expertise that Johanna has developed in navigating complex problems, and solid legal experience - skills we need right now in Albany. She is an accomplished and compassionate attorney who is dedicated to helping the vulnerable and disenfranchised, and has done the work to get results for New Yorkers.
Johanna’s personal circumstance resembles what many of us have faced in our own lives. When her mom had a life-altering stroke, Johanna and her twin sister, Estefany, were three years old. This created a difficult financial burden for their family, which led to their father working multiple jobs, including cleaning medical offices and as an assistant machine operator at a printing company.
In facing this tragedy, the local community rallied around the Carmona family and supported their efforts to ensure Johanna and Estefany had educational opportunities. Johanna has not forgotten what that means and how far she has come. She wants opportunity for everyone and firmly believes in giving back to the community that raised her. She has the skills to know what needs to be done and the commitment and energy to be a leader.
This is a time of tremendous change in our city and state and, with the retirement of Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan, our community will choose a new Assemblywoman. Johanna Carmona is endorsed by the Ridgewood Democratic Club because she will fight for all the neighborhoods in this district, from Blissville to Maspeth, Woodside to Hunters Point, Fresh Pond Road to Center Boulevard. She knows and understands the Assembly District and the families and businesses that are its foundation.
Our community needs someone who will be an energetic leader, who knows how to listen to families and who has lived the experience of so many of us. Johanna is the daughter of immigrants from Colombia. Johanna and Estefany played in our parks, rode the subway, and used our local libraries for schoolwork. Johanna supports environmental justice, especially at Newtown Creek. She is dedicated to fighting for LGBTQIA rights, disability rights, and women's rights. Johanna volunteers as a bilingual leader to improve police community relations with the 108th Precinct Community Council. She is a lifelong tenant in Queens and has helped people with housing problems. Johanna is knowledgeable about our healthcare system, understands its problems, and knows the community’s healthcare needs at a deeply personal level.
"Johanna is someone who does the hard work that makes a difference", said Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan, "She will continue to work on issues like paid family leave, which need additional support in Albany. She supports funding for public transportation, education, and the labor movement. She knows what needs to be done to help our families and students, support our neighborhoods, and rebuild our city and state" Nolan said, "I am proud and happy to endorse Johanna Carmona to be our new Assemblywoman. Sunnyside, Ridgewood, Maspeth and Long Island City need Johanna Carmona and I hope everyone votes for her in the Democratic primary Tuesday, June 28."
