Elect Melvin Rivera for Congress
New York Congressional District 7

REDEMPTION.  RESPONSIBILITY.  REAL OPPORTUNITY

Melvin Rivera is running for Congress in New York’s 7th District to bring practical leadership, accountability, and real opportunity to the communities of Brooklyn and Queens.

Born and raised in Bushwick, Melvin has spent more than 30 years serving his neighbors as a community activist, tenant organizer, and advocate for working families. His work has helped protect rent-stabilized tenants from illegitimate rent increases, defend homeowners from predatory real estate speculation, support families displaced by Hurricane Maria, and organize communities around housing, public safety, economic opportunity, and environmental justice.

For Melvin, public service is not theory. It is lived experience. After overcoming hardship himself, including homelessness earlier in life, he understands the systems that too often trap families in instability. His campaign is built on a clear mission: empower people, build ownership, break dependency, and demand accountability.

Melvin believes Brooklyn and Queens need tailored solutions, not one-size-fits-all politics. His agenda focuses on strong families, housing reform, community ownership, workforce development, public safety, free enterprise, transparent government, and infrastructure that protects public health.

This campaign is not about blind loyalty to any party. It is about policy, results, and restoring trust in representation.

Together, we can build safer neighborhoods, stronger families, and a future where working people have a real path to ownership, independence, and opportunity.
