Adriano Espaillat held a rally today to mark the opening of his Bronx office. At the event Espaillat reiterated his pledge to bring a new focus to the borough when elected to Congress by opening up a Bronx district office on day one. Adriano Espaillat and Bronx leaders addressed an enthusiastic crowd, discussing key issues impacting Bronx families.
"Today, I'm glad to join my colleague Adriano Espaillat at the grand opening of his Bronx's campaign office," said State Senator Gustavo Rivera. "In doing so, Adriano is demonstrating with actions that his campaign is strongly committed to hear directly from Bronxites about the issues that affect their everyday lives. If elected, I have no doubt that, from day one, Adriano will proudly represent our borough and be the dedicated advocate that the Bronx needs in Congress."
"Adriano Espaillat is a proven progressive leader with 18 years in the State Legislature that will bring change to a district that hasn’t seen change in more than 40 years," said District Leader Yudelka Tapia.
"A new focus must be brought to the Bronx," said Adriano Espaillat. "When I am elected to Congress, I will open up a district office in the Bronx on day one and work tirelessly to make the Bronx a better place to live, work and raise a family."
The 13th congressional district stretches from East Harlem to Inwood in Northern Manhattan and covers parts of the Bronx. This race currently has seven candidates with the petitioning period ending today. it is widely felt to be a two person race however between State Senator Espaillat and Manhattan Democratic County Leader Assemblyman Keith Wright.
