Candidate Statement
My name is Kevin C. Riley, and I was born and raised here in the Bronx's 12th Council District. As a lifelong bronxite, I have witnessed the greatness of this borough while also seeing what the community needs the most - and this is my motivation. I want to represent this district to bring our community together, a community that I am forever indebted to.
As we continue to fight COVID-19, there have been many issues that have been brought to the forefront, including food insecurity, job instability, lack of adequate housing, as well as insufficient resources in our public education system. We need transparency and an accountable leader who will fight for us, and I believe that leader is me.
