Conservative Party candidates running for city offices next year met in the Bronx on Dec. 14 to bolster their small but growing presence in the borough. The Viable Candidate Event, held at a Morrisania neighborhood church, was billed by the party as the city’s largest gathering of conservative leaders in 2024.
The Bronx Conservative Party — which is distinct from the Republican Party — has seen a recent rise in its registered membership to around 3,000, in keeping with the borough’s increased support for President-elect Donald Trump, who earned nearly 30% of Bronxites’ votes in November. Statewide, the party has just over 154,000 members.
