As the saying goes, most politics is local. So for those of you who live in the Bronx, or know people who do, there are two big races to watch this fall in the Boogie Down. As mentioned in an earlier post, last April I became the Bronx County Political Buzz Examiner for Examiner.com. I have had a little time to glance through some of the big elections coming this fall and have decided to concentrate on two state senate races: the 32nd and the 33rd districts. Two first time challengers (Ramos and Rivera) are trying to unseat two behemoths of Bronx politics (Diaz, Sr. and Espada, Jr.) All four are Latino, which makes sense in a borough where 51.7 percent of the population is Latino. Both races are sure to be exciting and can greatly re-shape the politics of the Bronx, and finally provide some much needed transparency in the local political process. The Democratic Primary in NYC is scheduled for Sept. 14th. Stay tuned, but most importantly get involved anyway you can.
