After graduating from Queens College, Peralta was a community liaison in the New York State Assembly.[3][15] Peralta represented the interests of immigrants on the New York City Central Labor Council,[15][16] serving in the position of Director of the Commission on the Dignity for Immigrants.[3][11]
In March 2004, Peralta requested that state Republican leadership pass legislation which proposed to increase the state's minimum wage to $7.15 per hour.[25] In April 2007, Peralta introduced anti-gang legislation in the Assembly that focused on creating Gang Free School Zones surrounding schools in New York.[26] In June 2007, Peralta was among a majority of the Assembly that voted to support passage of a same-sex marriage bill in New York.[27] In January 2008, Peralta co-signed legislation with Sheldon Silver, Audrey Pheffer and Rory I. Lancman which put forth a proposal of $150 million in funding for families that had the possibility of their homes being foreclosed upon.[28]
Peralta worked with fellow Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry to change the Rockefeller drug laws.[3] Peralta served in the Assembly as Chair of the Subcommittee on Banking in Underserved Communities.[3] He worked to encourage banks to move into underserved regions through his Banking Development District legislation.[3]
New York State Senate
In October 2009, Peralta stated his intention to run for the New York State Senate for a seat representing District 13.[29] The Queens Democratic Party lent support to Peralta in his campaign for the Senate seat.[29] An article in The New York Times in October 2009 described Peralta as "one of the party’s rising stars".[30] Politician Hiram Monserrate was expelled from the Senate on February 9, 2010 by a 53–8 vote of his former colleagues after being convicted of misdemeanorassault on his girlfriend Karla Giraldo.[29] Peralta became a candidate for the March 16, 2010 special election to fill the Senate seat left vacant due to Monserrate's expulsion.[29]
In January 2017, Peralta joined the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC), a group of Democratic senators that caucused with the Senate Republicans, allowing the Republicans to control the chamber.[39] After joining the majority coalition, he was named vice chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Telecommunications. Peralta received a $12,500 stipend (known as a "lulu") for his position as vice chair, although state law designates these stipends for committee chairs only.[40] The Republican conference submitted falsified payroll information listing Peralta as committee chair so that he could receive the stipend, although the IDC argued that Peralta was legally entitled to the stipends for his position as vice chair.[41]
In April 2018, Peralta and his IDC colleagues rejoined the Senate Democratic Conference.[42][43]
In the September 2018 Democratic Party primary, Peralta was defeated by Jessica Ramos, a board member of the Jackson Heights Beautification Group.[44][45][46] Peralta's nine-point loss was attributed to long-simmering anger with the former members of the IDC. Due to New York State's electoral fusion laws allowing candidates to run on multiple ballot lines in an election, Peralta appeared in the November 6, 2018 general election as the third-party candidate for the Independence Party of New York, the Women's Equality Party and the Reform Party of New York State;[47][48][49][50] however, Peralta conceded the race to Ramos and promised to support her campaign.[51]

Angoulême (L'Angoumois) in western France was part of the Carolingian Empire as the kingdom of Aquitaine. Under Charlemagne's successors, the local Count of Angoulême was independent and was not united with the French crown until 1308. By the terms of the Treaty of Brétigny (1360) the Angoumois, then ruled by the Counts of Angoulême, was ceded as English territory to Edward III. In 1371 it became a fief of the Duke of Berry, before passing to Louis I, Duke of Orleans, both of whom were ca...
