Autobiography

Candidate-stated

I was born and raised in the Belmont section of the Bronx, the son of a single mother who immigrated from El Salvador in pursuit of a better life. We were raised on public assistance, but my mother’s determination instilled in me resilience, responsibility, and a deep commitment to service. Those values continue to guide my work today.

Autobiography

Candidate-stated

I graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School in 2003, where I remained actively engaged in both school and community life. I competed in wrestling, volunteered with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, worked at a local supermarket, and pursued early college coursework, including zoology studies at the Bronx Zoo. On my eighteenth birthday, I made a defining decision and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.

Autobiography

Candidate-stated

In 2014, I graduated from Fordham University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science. I went on to serve the community through roles at the Bronx Veterans Affairs office and the Bronx Labor Department. During this time, I became increasingly aware of systems that managed problems rather than solving them.

Positions and priorities

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Animal Issues

Candidate position

The Bronx is the only borough without a city run, full service animal shelter. This issue has been a long battle of getting what the city had originally promised. While it is in the works that a full-service animal shelter will be built, there has not been a site picked out yet. As Councilman, Gonzalo knows that Bronx animals need help now.

Animal Issues

Candidate position

Increase funding of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs to provide more accessibility to service vans, like the Toby Project, in Bronx communities to ease the strain on local rescuers. This will also allow these programs to continue operating so that they can provide low-cost spay and neuter; veterinary services to residents in low-income areas.
