Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas has filed to run against state Sen. Jessica Ramos in next year’s Democratic primary for Senate District 13.

González-Rojas, who currently represents Assembly District 34 including parts of Elmhurst, Corona and Jackson Heights, which partially overlaps with Ramos’s Senate district, formally filed to run as a candidate in next year’s primary on Tuesday, as first reported by City & State. 

“I’m running for state Senate because the people of Corona, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, and Jackson Heights deserve bold, values-driven leadership that listens, collaborates, and delivers,” González-Rojas said in a statement provided to this publication. “Together, we can build a future that centers working families and creates real results for our neighborhoods.”
