Adriano Espaillat is a member of the New York State Assembly who was born in the Dominican Republic and emigrated to New York City. He graduated from Bishop Dubois High School in 1974, and in 1978, earned his B.S. degree in political science at Queens College.
Public office
Together with Miguel Martinez, Espaillat formed a political club named the Northern Manhattan Democrats for Change.
In 1996, Espaillat became the first Dominican-American elected to the New York State Assembly – he represents the 72nd District which covers the Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill regions of Manhattan. Between May 2003 and January 2007, he chaired the Black, Puerto Rican, and Hispanic caucus.
In 2005 Espaillat ran unsuccessfully for Manhattan Borough President.
