Where Hernandez stands

What is an accomplishment that you are proud of?

My greatest accomplishment is my three children — Alexander, Sebastian, and Estella. No achievement in business or public life compares to the pride I feel watching them grow into kind, curious, and determined young people. They are my constant reminder of why I'm fighting to save this city. Everything I do is guided by the belief that their generation, and every child in New York, deserves the same opportunity my family found when we came to this country.
