Johanna Carmona hosted her first #TeamJohanna campaign kickoff event on Wednes­day April 6th. She is running for the Assembly District 37 seat from which Assembly­woman Catherine Nolan has announced her retirement at the end of her term. The event was held at Riko restaurant at 45-06 Greenpoint Avenue in Sunnyside. The full house of attendees were there in support of Carmona’s campaign. The 37th Assembly District which has been held for 37 years by Nolan now stretches from Ridgewood to Long Island City and encompasses virtu­ally everything in between. Carmona, who was enthusias­tically received by the audi­ence of supporters, praised the amazing communities that she endeavors to represent in the Assembly. Catherine Nolan was also honored with re­peated standing ovations and applause. Nolan, who intro­duced Carmona to the gathered audience, wholeheartedly en­dorsed the candidate, who she hopes will fill her seat in the Assembly in New York. Jo­hanna Carmona, who had pre­viously interned for Nolan and is involved in many aspects of the district, said, “I am so grateful for, and humbled by the support and enthusiasm I have received so far and look forward to celebrating with you.”
