Kenneth Burgos is an American politician from the state of New York. A Democrat, Burgos represented the 85th district of the New York State Assembly, based in the southeastern Bronx, starting in November 2020.[1][2] On July 19th, 2024, Assemblymember Burgos resigned from the Assembly for personal reasons.[3][4]

Early life

[edit]

Burgos and his three sisters were raised in the Bronx by a single mother. He attended the Bronx High School of Science and graduated from University at Albany, SUNY with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics.[1] Burgos then began working for New York City Council Member Ruben Diaz, Sr., as a deputy chief of staff and budget director.[5] Burgos is a member of Iota Phi Theta fraternity.

Political career

[edit]

In February 2020, Marcos Crespo – Assemblyman for the 85th district and chair of the Bronx County Democratic Party – announced his resignation.[6] Burgos announced he would run for the seat and, with the backing of the Bronx County Democratic Committee, defeated William Moore 62-38% in the Democratic primary.[7][8] Burgos easily won the general election in the strongly Democratic seat, and was seated on November 12, 2020.[9]
