Cuomo's 'Fight for Fifteen' Stops in the Bronx.



   On Tuesday Governor Andrew Cuomo's statewide tour started in Manhattan, and the second stop was the Madison Boys and Girls Club in the Bronx. Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. was the host for the event, and the photos below will tell the rest of the story.

Below Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj brough Miss New York State with him, as Bronx democratic County Leader Assemblyman Marcos Crespo gets charged up before his big election win later in the night. State Senator Gustavo Rivera is preparing for his big endorsement in the 15th Congressional District a few hours later in the day. Yes that is the new Community Board #7 District Manager Andrew Sandler one row behind Miss New York State.
