Fair Act," which disenfranchised working-class realtors by cutting their commissions, worsening the affordability crisis in New York City. This critical issue has propelled Janine Acquafredda, another candidate on the float and a Brooklyn real estate broker, to enter the race for Brooklyn Borough President. Acquafredda's background—being half Puerto Rican and half Italian—enables her to connect deeply with communities impacted by such policies, further igniting her drive for equitable reform.

Michael Henry, who also joined the float, previously ran for New York Attorney General, coming remarkably close to challenging the incumbent, Letitia James. Henry's performance demonstrated a strong desire for law, order, and fiscal responsibility.

It’s a chance to hear firsthand insights from these emerging leaders in New York politics and begins a new chapter in the city’s governance. With such enthusiastic participation from the Republican candidates at the Puerto Rican Day Parade, it’s clear that efforts are underway to engage voters and reinvigorate the political landscape.
