Marjorie Velazquez is seeking reelection as councilmember for the 13th City Council District in the Bronx.

She is pointing to her achievements like funding for Jacobi Hospital, funding for schools and permanent outdoor dining program as examples of what she can get done for the community.

Kristy Marmorato, a health care worker from Morris Park, is her Republican challenger. She says she wants to prioritize school choice for parents, overdevelopment and public safety.
