Parts of the Bronx are waking up to one-party rule.” Kristy Marmorato said, "I am grateful for the early support for my campaign to flip the 13th Council District. I am born and raised in the Bronx, spent the majority of my life in this district and my husband and I are raising our children here. I am running for City Council because we are very worried about the direction of the community and city that we love. My top priorities will be ensuring our streets are safe, keeping our cost of living down and our quality of life up. My campaign has the grassroots support in the community and outraising my opponent and qualifying for matching funds in just 8 days shows that we will also have the financial support necessary to win this competitive race and bring some much needed common sense to the NYC Council."
