Candidate Site Donate

Council Member Kevin C. Riley is a fighter for the Northeast Bronx. Since 2021, he has championed economic growth, housing, and education to uplift District 12. He helped approve 12,000 new housing units—over 63% affordable—so families can stay in their communities. As co-chair of the Black, Latino, and Asian Caucus, he passed the FDNY Diversity bill and expanded youth job opportunities with a $79.4 million investment. A lifelong resident, devoted husband, and father, Riley is committed to empowering young leaders and strengthening our neighborhoods. His mission is clear: a Bronx where every family can thrive.
