About NYS Senator Gustavo Rivera (NY-33)

State Senator Gustavo Rivera represents the 33rd Senate District in the Bronx, which includes the neighborhoods of Belmont, Fordham, Van Nest, East Tremont, Riverdale, and Norwood. 

Since his election in 2010, Senator Gustavo has dedicated his efforts to changing the way business is done in the legislature and to ensuring that the families of the 33rd Senate District have a voice in Albany. 

In January 2013, Senator Rivera became the ranking member of the New York Senate’s Health Committee. Since then, Senator Rivera has championed legislation that addresses issues of health inequity, such as the two smoking ban bills around schools and after-school programs, which he helped become law. In March 2017, he became the main sponsor of the “New York Health Act,” a bill that will create innovative single-payer health in New York State. 

In 2011, Senator Rivera launched the Bronx CAN (Changing Attitudes Now) Health Initiative. The goal of this community-oriented health initiative is not only to encourage Bronx residents to develop healthy behaviors but to shape policies that will help tear down some of the institutional barriers that stand in the way of Bronxites having a healthier lifestyle.

Senator Rivera also worked as a community organizer on New York State campaigns, as well as on President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. He was also employed as a professor at Pace University and a staff member for U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
