Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato

August 27, 2025


Dear Neighbors,


As we approach the start of the school year, we continue our backpack giveaways, are starting up our fresh food giveaways, and wrapped up with our last Movie Under the Stars. We celebrated one of our City Island legends, welcomed a state-of-the art school, and continue our work throughout District 13.


In this week's newsletter, you will find details about the district events that took place this week, along with information on various upcoming events we have planned.


It is an honor to represent you in the New York City Council and continue fighting to keep our community safe, healthy, and prosperous!


Sincerely,

Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato

District 13, Bronx

 

Happy Birthday to Councilwoman Marmorato!

Thank you for always fighting for district 13 and showing us what fierce leadership looks like. We love you and wish you the happiest of days!
