There may be no better position in local politics than that of an incumbent officeholder. In the Bronx, just three of the borough’s 12 city councilmembers are facing a primary challenge, however, all primary challenges are not created equally.
Such is the case in City Council District 12 in the East Bronx — a legislative district whose boundaries include the Wakefield, Baychester, Eastchester, Olinville, Co-op City, Edenwald and Williamsbridge sections — and current seatholder Kevin Riley, a Democrat.
