“Funny enough, I have a great tan and people think I've been at the beach,” said Camilo, president of the Bronx Women’s Bar Association and a former vice chair of the Bronx Democrats. “But I've been outside.”Rivera, a native of Puerto Rico, was first elected in 2010, ousting scandal-scarred incumbent Pedro Espada – a Democrat who, a year prior, had helped engineer a Republican coup of the state Senate and would later be convicted of unrelated federal corruption charges.
– a bill, named after a Bronx girl, that would require doctors to assess children for lead-poisoning risks during health care visits. Thanks in part to a candidate shuffle caused by the state’s botched redistricting process, Camilo has found support from major Democrats in the Bronx and the city, with Reps. Ritchie Torres and Adriano Espaillat backing her campaign. Mayor Eric Adams is set to fundraise for her next week,Camilo is running as more of a centrist. Among other areas, she points to her support of charter schools as a factor that distinguishes her from Rivera.
Hope Camilo wins.
