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.”
