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.
