Democratic State Senate Candidate Andy Marte and current Assembly District Leader Tommy Torres have been accused of advertising fraudulent antibody testing for Covid-19 at the Williamsburg NYCHA Houses.  

The event was canceled after a Daily News report Monday night. Tenant Association President at the Williamsburg NYCHA development, LaVonne McLamb, says their attempt posed a serious threat to her community.

“They are taking advantage of my elderly residents and asking them to come out and get tested,” she said.  “These people are the most at risk with this and if they go out and wait on a line they’re exposing themselves.”
