Gibson and Salamanca Jr. both secure ballot spot in borough president race

The upcoming race for Bronx Borough President hit a new milestone as incumbent Vanessa Gibson and challenger Council Member Rafael Salamanca Jr. both met the requirements to appear on the June Democratic primary ballot.

Each candidate far surpassed the required 2,000 petition signatures needed to secure a spot on the ballot—a process intended to demonstrate grassroots support from registered Bronx voters and ensure candidates have a viable base.
