The Bronx Democratic Party has officially endorsed eight candidates ahead of the June 2025 City Council primary elections, backing a mix of newcomers and incumbents in key races across the borough.
Among those vying for open seats, the party announced last week that it is throwing its support behind Elsie Encarnacion in the District 8 race, Shirley Aldebol in District 13, and Justin Sanchez in District 17. Party leaders cited the candidates’ deep commitment to their communities and alignment with the party’s vision for progress as key factors in their endorsements.
