As New York City’s June primary nears, the race for City Council District 14 in the Bronx is shaping up to be one of the most competitive contests in the city.
The district, which covers University Heights, Fordham Heights, Kingsbridge Heights, and Morris Heights, is currently represented by Council Member Pierina Sanchez, a Democrat seeking her first four-year term. Elected in 2021 and 2023 on two-year terms due to redistricting, Sanchez faces two challengers in the upcoming Democratic primary: former Council Member Fernando Cabrera, who represented the district from 2010-2021, and grassroots advocate Bryan Hodge Vasquez.
