On Episode two of this season of Those People we sat down with Mel Gargarin (back when we could still do the whole in-person thing) to talk about life in NYC, family, Puerto Rican culture and his plans for the city, and the country, once he takes office.

Mel is the first of the NYC progressives we’ll be interviewing this season, representing New York’s 6th district - better known as Queens, & we get into the fabric of the city, how we got here and where it’s going, and of course what Mel was getting into as an NYC Youth back in the day.

In a word, Mel is self-described as one of Those #progressive People and is out here fighting for all marginalized people and for the working class first and foremost.
