The Bronx Democratic Party announced today its endorsement of Althea Stevens in the City Council District 16 race. This seat is currently held by Council Member Vanessa Gibson who is term-limited. Council District 16 covers the neighborhoods of Claremont, Concourse, Concourse Village, Highbridge, Morris Heights, Mount Eden, and Morrisania.
“Althea Stevens has demonstrated throughout her career to be tenacious in the pursuit of service for our communities. She has been an advocate for some of the most vulnerable New Yorkers and is incredibly well equipped to represent Council District 16 in an era where recovery from COVID will be paramount in the future of our city,” said Chairman Jamaal T. Bailey.
“Her work throughout the Bronx has left a positive impact on many young people; notably, those young folks who initially inspired her to run, knowing she had the tools required to lead in such a time. I look forward to the work she’ll accomplish when elected to the New York City Council. Her energy will translate to success for her district, and we are proud to announce our endorsement of Althea Stevens for District 16 from the Bronx Democratic Party,” he added.
“Now, more than ever, it’s crucial that the Bronx stands united to demand an equitable recovery and a better future. I am happy to have the support of the Bronx Democratic Party, I look forward to collaborating with Bronx leaders to uplift and build a better Bronx,” said Althea Stevens
EDITOR' NOTE:
Other candidates in the 16th City Council race are Abdourahamane Diallo, Ahmadou T. Diallo, Yves T. Filius, Uniqua S. Smith, and Eric Stevenson.
One has to wonder why 77th A.D. Male District Leader Yves T. Filius was not endorsed, when the Bronx Democratic Party has endorsed 81t A.D. Male District Leader Eric Dinowitz in the March 23rd Special Election for the 11th City Council race.
