Dalourny Nemorin, a public defense attorney and member of Bronx Community Board 1, launched her campaign Nov. 12 for the borough’s 15th Congressional District, which includes a wide swath of the southern and central Bronx.
The district of approximately 715,000 residents has been represented by Ritchie Torres since 2021, but three candidates have thus far announced they will run in the 2026 primary: Democrats Nemorin, a member of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — the party of mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — and Michael Blake, a former Assembly Member who, most recently, ran unsuccessfully for mayor. Andre Easton, another socialist candidate and high school teacher, is running as an independent.
