🎙️ Jibreel joins The Perez Notes for a wide-ranging conversation about community, leadership, and his run for State Assembly.

The son of a union nurse and a taxi driver who immigrated to New York in pursuit of the American dream, Jibreel was born and raised in the community he now seeks to serve. Growing up, he watched families, faith institutions, and neighbors hold one another up—often stepping in when government didn’t show up. Those experiences shaped his belief that lasting change must come from the ground up and that public service should honor the people it serves.

A community organizer, nonprofit CEO, and Obama Scholar, Jibreel has dedicated his life to improving the lives of those around him. He helped stop a toxic pesticide facility from being built near homes and schools, secured $1.6 million in funding to prevent gun violence, supported workers in winning a union, and built a small business—giving him firsthand experience with meeting payroll, creating opportunity, and navigating red tape.

Now, Jibreel is running for State Assembly, bringing a grounded, community-first approach shaped by lived experience, coalition-building, and a deep commitment to public service.

🎙️ Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso joins The Perez Notes for a wide-ranging conversation about his run for Congress, as he seeks to succeed longtime Representative Nydia Velázquez.

We discuss Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s decision not to endorse, the coalition Reynoso is building, key endorsements, fundraising dynamics, and how this contest is shaping up in a crowded and closely watched field.

A candid look at ambition, alliances, and the future of Brooklyn’s voice in Washington—straight from one of the borough’s most prominent political figures.

In this episode of The Perez Notes, host Roberto Perez speaks with Bradley Honan, CEO & President of the Honan Strategy Group, about the latest New York City congressional races and what the data says about where the political landscape is headed.

Honan breaks down his race-by-race predictions, analyzes the recent Siena College poll, and explains what the numbers mean for Governor Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The conversation also dives into local races, how political polling works, where it succeeds and fails, and how public opinion data shapes campaign and governing strategy.
