Joseph Hernández

Joseph Hernández is a Cuban-American businessman and independent candidate for the mayoralty of New York City. Born in Camagüey, Cuba, he immigrated to the United States at the age of seven. Hernández's campaign is driven by a strong opposition to what he perceives as the threat of communism in the city, particularly targeting his rival, Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani. With no prior political experience, he aims to address issues such as rising crime rates, the cost of living, and the struggles of small businesses, positioning himself as a voice for the Latino community in New York, which comprises a significant portion of the city's population. His candidacy reflects a desire to support law enforcement and promote economic growth while advocating for the rights and recognition of small business owners.
