U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries endorsed Rep. Ritchie Torres on Monday in his bid for re-election to represent New York’s 15th Congressional District, which covers a large portion of the Bronx.
Jeffries, who leads House Democrats as minority leader, praised incumbent Torres’ record representing the borough. Torres has represented the district in Congress since 2021 and previously served on the New York City Council, representing the 15th District from 2014 to 2020.
