Queens Borough President Donovan Richards joins The Perez Notes for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of New York City’s largest borough and the political shifts reshaping its leadership.

We break down the state of affordable housing development in Queens, the projects moving forward, and the obstacles that remain. Richards also reflects on Zohran Mamdani’s groundbreaking win, what it signals for the progressive movement, and how it will influence borough-wide priorities.

We take a deep look at the NYC Council Speaker’s Race, the alliances forming behind the scenes, and what Queens stands to gain—or lose—depending on the outcome. And Richards offers a candid assessment of Mayor Eric Adams’ legacy and Speaker Adrienne Adams’ impact, especially on equity, development, and representation in Queens.

A must-listen episode for anyone tracking the political direction of New York City and the future of Queens.
