Salamanca’s Letter

to Bronxites

The Bronx has always been my home. It’s where I learned the value of hard work, community, and fighting for what’s right. Now, I’m stepping up to make sure our borough gets the leadership it deserves.

We’ve accomplished so much together—hundreds of millions in investments, thousands of affordable homes, and real opportunities for working families—but there’s more to do.

Read my letter to Bronxites and join me in building a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Bronx for all.

Fighting for the Bronx—

Fighting for You

Rafael knows that Bronx families are still struggling — to afford housing and childcare, to feel safe in our streets and subways, and to access real opportunities. That’s why he’s running to deliver:

Safer and cleaner neighborhoods—by investing in public safety and keeping our communities secure.
Truly affordable housing—by holding developers accountable and making sure affordability is real.
Great schools and good jobs—so every Bronxite can build a better future.

Tell Us What You Think

Ralph believes that true leadership starts with listening. Whether it’s about housing, public safety, education, or quality of life — your input helps us build a better Bronx together.
