Juan Ardila, resign from State Assembly D37 Sexual Assault of LIC resident
While Queens Assemblyman Juan Ardila acknowledged and apologized for sexually assaulting two women, he has yet to resign from his position.
The woman who was sexually assaulted by Juan Ardila, a current Long Island City resident said, “I am calling for Juan Ardila to resign as an Assembly member and would like to see the organizations and elected officials who have publicly supported Juan retract their support,” told Queens Post Tuesday afternoon.
Governor Kathy Hochul, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Congresswoman Grace Meng, Congresswoman Nydia Velasquez, Comptroller Brad Lander, Senator Michael Gianaris, Senator Kristen Gonzales, Senator Julia Salazar, Assembly member Zohran Mamdani, Assembly Member Jessica Gonzales Rojas, Assembly Member Emily Galleger City Council Member Julie Won, City Council Member Tiffany Caban, City Council Member Jennifer Gutierrez, Queens Borough President Donavan Richards, and the Working Families Party have called on him to resign in support of the women who came forward.
We as residents and voters of Assembly District 37 call on Juan Ardila to resign immediately from the New York State Assembly to begin holding himself accountable for his actions. His resignation would be the first step of demonstrating commitment to the long term atonement and repair for restorative justice.

What is he waiting for? These events were not that long ago. People have been hounded for much less! Reign now!
Juan has disgraced himself and should resign immediately, sexual harassment has no place in our community.
Resign
Just do the right thing and resign.
Juan has to go!
He has no right to his tax-payer funded position.
Ardila has repeatedly shown he is unfit for public service. He needs to resign

Juan Ardila is not a good representation of my values and should not be in a place of power. Sexual harassment is a serious offense and makes you unfit for public office. Please RESIGN IMMEDIATELY. By continuing to cling on desperately, you are only hurting this neighborhood.
