This Bronx Democratic primary features a staunchly conservative Pentecostal reverend — with a history of controversial anti-gay comments — facing off against a host of progressives
That history makes him a useful foil for his many rivals for the seat, but political observers say there’s a real chance he could win.
Mark-Viverito, who led pushes to close Rikers Island, decriminalize minor offenses, and restrict New York’s cooperation with federal immigration authorities, says she was pushing boundaries as a progressive long before the current insurgent movement in the Democratic party became popular. She has pledged not to accept money from real estate or corporate PACs.
Mark-Viverito, whose Council district included part of the Bronx, said voters would not care about her residency. “It’s about what kind of representative are you going to be, how available are you going to be to me, how are you going to change my life?” she said. “It cannot be understated, the significance of this race. You’re talking about the most Democratic district in America, the poorest Congressional district in the country,” he said. “This will send a very clear message to the country and to the world of what direction are we going in in the south Bronx.”
