November 9, 2026 — The 40th annual SOMOS Conference wrapped up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after running November 4-7, 2026. Coming right on the heels of Election Day, the mood was upbeat. Elected officials, community leaders, and advocates from across New York gathered for the annual policy forum, political summit, and networking event. Many Democratic officials arrived in high spirits after the previous night’s results.

The week’s social highlight was a ticketed party at the Antiguo Casino, headlined by Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.

Davidoff Hutcher & Citron was on hand, continuing its long tradition of taking part in SOMOS.
