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 challenge him in the 2026 primary: Nemorin, a member of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — the party of mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani— Democrat Michael Blake, a former Assembly Member who, most recently, ran unsuccessfully for mayor; and Andre Easton, another socialist candidate and high school teacher.
