As New Yorkers hit the polls to vote in a slate of primaries today, one race in particular could carry major implications for NYCFC fans.
State Assemblyman Francisco Moya of Queens is one of two Democrats vying for the party’s nomination in the race for the City Council seat in District 21. Not only is he a New York City FC supporter, but he is also close with David Villa, a titanic figure in the majority-Hispanic district that includes Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Corona.
Notably, it includes Willets Point, one of the key sites bandied about as a potential NYCFC stadium site, including by local politicians like Melinda Katz, the Queens Borough President.
