Here’s some quick information about the candidates running for state office here in the northwest Bronx: 

Even though she remains on the general election ballot as the candidate of the Working Families Party, Naomi Rivera (pictured above), who was soundly defeated in the Democratic primary in September, admitted that her eight years representing the 80th Assembly District, which includes parts of Norwood, Bedford Park and Morris Park, would be coming to an end in December.
