BREAKING: Today NYCC is proud to announce our endorsement of Michael Blake for NY Congressional District 15.

With all that’s happening on the federal level we know The Bronx NEEDS representation in D.C. that cares about The Bronx and not a foreign country and will call out a genocide when they see it. Representation that sees CD-15 is one of the most poverty stricken congressional districts in the country and wants to do something about it.

We are proud to endorse and support Michael Blake and encourage you all to do the same!!
